That engine is absolutely immaculate. I am so jealous. I want mine to look that clean some day. Congratulations.

Very nice! With the half bridge, that turbo should respond as close to stock as you can get. I saw the stock TPS on there...Are you running a stock ECU or a Haltech with the stock TPS (I think I saw the MAP sensor in the corner). If it's the stock ECU, it sure started and idled nicely....Anyone who doesn't like bridgeports is crazy.

Seems quiet though...A bridgeport should sound like this:

I love the way you guys get so excited about bridgeports. Maybe it's just because I'm so used to them over here.

The Microtech crank map is way off from the factory, especailly for a bridgeport. I had to pull something like 30% of the fuel out before it would start first try. Of course, first you have to get your load curve in the ballpark...

I can go weeks without seeing another RX-7, so it's a big deal just to see another rotary car, let alone something that's not stock.

any comments or questions are welcome
You know dude I've seen your car before and the recent work you just put into it. The craftsmen ship is prestige and far from the crowd. The layout the design appeal and the attention with thought that you exercised is exquisite my friend.
