CO Finally Going Single! Part 2

In February of last year I started my build thread in the single turbo forum. Since then, I rearranged my photobucket account and as a result, many of the links to the images are now broken and I am unable to edit them. I decided to repost many of the pictures here in the 3rd Gen section so this will be a continuation (in a way) of the old thread found here:

https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo-rx-7s-23/finally-going-single-889334/

As a refresher, here is a list of the mods will be adding, or already have on this build. It has been updated from the old thread:

Power FC/Datalogit
Pineapple Racing Mild Street Port W/Stage 3 Oil Mods.
T04Z Turbo kit
Synapse 50mm Wastegate
CJ Motorsports Dual Walbro Fuel Pump Assy.
Sakebomb Dual Oil Cooler 25 Row Track Kit
AEM Water/Meth injection
AEM UEGO Wideband A/F Sensor
M-Spec Style Front Mount Intercooler
850CC Primaries
1680CC Secondaries
HKS Twin Power Ignition
GM 3 Bar Map Sensor
Greddy Elbow
Greddy Type RS BOV
Shine Auto Project side skirts, bumper, & rear add-ons
Full Paint (including Engine Bay)
99 Spec Tail Lights
Fast Acting IAT Sensor
Dual Pre-Turbo EGTs
Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller


A couple of before pics.







And the teardown begings:

I was going to say your wastegate is on backwards but looks like you got it taken care of! Besides that it looks really nice. Very similar to what I am doing. Good job.

Mine is vented but it is all up to your preference. If you're in a place that is **** about smog laws and cops all over, I would suggest plumbing it back into the exhaust. Mine is vented and in car it doesn't seem loud really. But this is coming from someone who had a 05 GTO with LT headers, large cam and open headers.

as stated depending on emission laws that should help you decided what to do. i run an open wastegate and love the sound of it opening up, but we dont have smog were i live.

Thanks for the compliments. Here's some more progress pics of things o fabled in the last few days.

New mount for the coils integrating a support tab for the intake manifold.


Front bumper support and a drop bracket for the relays so they will be just under the cover between the intercooler and the radiator.

Haha. I already had the filter sitting on my shelf. It was left over from my wife's old Infinity G20 we sold a long time ago. No worries, it wont be on there for long.

Turbo8, once I get it done I'll start going to the meets again. Do you usually go to them? I haven't beard much lately since Mike B put his car into the wall.

Here's more pics of the new radiator mounts/ductwork.
