A hat tip to you sir. You have done what many said they were going to do. Easily one of the best reads on this site.
All I ever see is fc builds, and they are dope. 1st gens is just more of a passionate build!

Been a while.
Broke the 13bt so got rid of it and went back to N/A.
12A Bridgeport, 50mm Injection perfection throttles
Megasquirt ECU
OMP Delete
2" primaries to diff, 2 1/4 under diff to a muffler to twin 2" stainless pipes
4.9 Welded diff.
Been out once since the conversion and it drives really well. Swapped out the innovate wideband for a AEM and really prefer it. Still have some tuning to sort out but we got it pretty decent in the minimal time we tuned it for. Friend has a lot of datalogs so should help us out.

Sticker on the wing is custom made, I had it made in the Factory mazda REPU font aswell but this had a cool 90's vibe.
Cant see much but here it is on track while a SR20 Powered navara blows a head trying to keep up haha.

Now I've done a fair bit of driving with it you can't really compare the two. The turbo motor was alot stronger at low to mid rpm but tapered off alot and was dropping off power at around 7500rpm, alot this had to do with the turbo choice I made. It was great for drivability as I was pretty much on full boost by 2800/3000rpm.
The N/A BP lacks the mid range power/torque but when you start revving it, it's unreal. I have limiter set at 9000rpm at this stage and it sits on it pretty often. I've always driven my motors hard and this one is no exception. I'm running the toyota hilux diff with 4.9 gears and just a Series 4 RX7 turbo box. The ratios in the gearbox are abit average for the setup, I would love a closer ratio box but Im learning to drive with it as it is.
I wouldn't opt back to the turbo setup personally as I love the challenge of trying to drive the car around the track, picking your lines properly to make a corner well. Its fantastic to drive, revs super quickly with the throttle setup and all around is a better setup (for me anyway).

Long time no see.
Done another track day since matsuri, I lowered it more and found the rear end bind is really starting to cause issues now. Before I go full steam ahead with equal length 4 link we are going to try some adjustable upper arms and adjust the pinion angle as it is way out of whack at the moment.
Recently got some wider rear wheels, 14 8j -2 SSR XR4's, looks so much better with a bigger rear rather then matching sizes all around. My new hood finally arrived aswell and I have just sent it off for paint. Got myself a random steering wheel from Japan painted beige with pearl/sparkles all through it and a shifter extension made with an adapter to 10x1.25.
