I installed all black jnterior just need carpet and floor mats. I also had my friend Danny rewrap the seats with new red covers to make the car pop inside. I installed the tech2 sub frame that I will be doing a mod so the hood clears. I installed my built motor with custom 9.5:1 cp pistons with lataral gas ports and upgrade pins swinging on some carrillo HD rods with carr bolts. The block has arp hardware and callico bearings block was lined honed as well. The block was but by lee at the lad in long island Brian refferd me to him. I also installed mu fully built head that was porter by me. It has all the goddies 1mm oversize valves dual valve springs and retainers 5 angle valve job and valve guilds everything from fearra. The head is sandwiched with a cometic 1.4mm h/ and arp head studs. I also took my r154 to get rebuilt and upgrade with all the upgrades that driftmoton had. The thirst washer, 1st 2nd billet fork, the bearing case plate, both shifter bushings and all bearings and syncros

Do you have any pictures of what you might have done to the subframe to get the hood to close?

I'm a good bit into my swap, and noticed you had the Tech2 subframe with a scoot style hood closing.

Seems you would need at least 1.5" shim to bring the engine down to do this.

thanks i believe i have the second ever twin turbo rx7 fd. around right now. im second to the original supra7 that SP engineering did. but first with 2jz twin turbo scoot hood lol. i just welded up my downpipes. they are 2.5 inch each going in to a y-pipe that i made and hooks up to a 4in electric exhaust cutout. i also had to make a hole in each manifold so i can run external waste gates. im run 2 tial 38mm mbs gates. the new style is so much smaller.

The engine bay definitely looks clean in the pics...but I have to say that the 90-degree elbows concern me in regards to air flow..

Sharp bends like that, especially in a coupler, are never really good.

Maybe you could re-do your intercooler piping a little? Just a recommendation..

if you noticed when the air comes up its ot hitting a flat surface on the coupler. the coupler is rounded so when the air makes its way up it has a smooth curve to flow threw.

For what it's worth, I've done a flow calculation on varying geometry which includes angles.

You may be surprised that the changing ID from source to termination causes more non laminar areas than direction changing while in a pressurized state.

Here is a quick calculation based on difference in geometry.

Note the velocity change:
