^ I know exactly what you mean. How's your Canadian tuning excursion going?

 

Trying to save some time and get everyone setup as much as I can ahead of time with base maps and what not. I have so many cars to do so I'm going to be pulled in all directions.

ports look good Tyler!

 

after a few set backs and relocating my shop i have decided to continue the build.

the motor is being assembled and will should be finished in a week.

right now i have stripped the engine bay and am painting it.

i will be running a 4 inch single to to 3 inch dual exhaust and no mufflers. there doesn't seem to be enough room for any mufflers lol.

i decided to have the block doweled and i picked up a pineapple racing aluminum oil pan.

more pics coming

 

engine is in the car
working on fabbing up the exhaust.

i had to make a custom v band clamp and flange as no one seemed to have any parts for this turbo.

to make the flange i put a piece of 4 inch pipe in the lathe and heated it red hot then used an aluminum roller to form the edge

 

^ A regular 4" vband wouldn't work for you????

 

i called a lot of places and no one had a clamp thick enough for my turbo flange. i even called Caterpillar and they were not much help. i had a 3 inch clamp with the right v band thickness so i just swapped them to a 4 inch band.

bullseye turbos said my flange is discontinued, i didn't search much after that. figured i would just make my stuff work.

 

fabbed up the down pipe today. all 4 inch mandrel bends

 

Damnnn, sold out ur rx7 and went to the DARK side!!

 

turbo and manifolds in

 

made 305 rwhp @ 10psi. still need to work on the map a bit. and i have a boost leak i need to fix up. should get to a bar next weekend

 

Nice to see this coming together. Keep pushing! Looks great. Did you make the manifold yourself?

 

thanks. no i did not make the mani, i bought it used
