rx7 stuffs

So here comes winter...its always a bit between my updates. So my engine bay has always been a mess...simply because i never took the time to make it look nice. Also it was time for an update in turbo. Mid summer I had picked up a 60-1 Garrett and it served its purpose but i have this urge for more power and the 60-1 was just about tapped out at 21 psi. With more power of course comes more need for modification. So i took the short ride down to Goopy Performace and had John do some machine work on the engine. First off the i decided i wanted to run solid dowel pins and in order to do that you need to route the oil from the original dowel pins outside the block. Ill have some pictures of this modification up shortly. Also I went with oversized engine studs to help prevent irons from cracking. With all this work being put into the engine bay i decided to paint it and do a mini photo shoot of my garage. Dont mind the rotary mess.
