Steppin it up. My FC FULL Bridge GT-45
Well it has been posted on TeamFC3S already, I figured i would post it here too. So yeah Finally convinced BDC to do our 1st full bridge street car, yes I drive it to work.
My car was already half bridged, so bridging the primaries was cake conservative too. I also swapped my turbo set up while I was at it. I went from the Master Power T-70 to the Master Power GT-45 turbo. It is a very large turbo with an exhaust wheel bigger than a Q-trim wheel. Thanx to bobybeach for the turbo too. I already have around 250 miles on the engine and I'm loving it. I see it no different than driving my old Half-bp around town and yes you get a choppier idle. The low end response feels the same to me too. The car is almost ready/set up for hi boost runs. which i hope to do in the next 2 weeks or so. Any ideas on what type of power to expect around 21psi?
here are some pix.
Goin in for paint!!!

I have never seen anyone use this turbo on an RX-7 before, but it doesn't seem TOO big. I say that if you crank it to 30psi you might hit your goal of 600rwhp. Lots of people seem to think that around 500+hp you run into restrictions with the stock intake setup, that's why a lot of the high HP people have Jaytech or custom intake manifolds when trying to push that much HP. Still, LUPE made 603rwhp on a streetported FD engine@27psi, I think at 30 you'll crack 600.
What are you doing to make sure the engine holds together at high boost (>15psi)?

That's some nice bridgeport there. The video sounds good.....
I've seen this turbo used before on an RX-7, though it was a 20B. Made something like 407HP at 7 PSI....which is amazing considering that the shop who built it can't even put together a 13B properly....
