Ok so it is done. The car went under the knife two weeks ago today and was started for the first time today. I built this kit myself and did all the work other than downpipe in my garage. I don't have an air filter yet (ordered it last week, should be here tomm or monday). Car is not yet tuned, going to Rotorsports Racing next week.

Here are the specs of my kit...

-Garrett TO4R with .84 A/R and P-Trim Wheel (fully divided)
-Polished Comressor Housing
-HPC Coated Turbine Housing
-V-Band Discharge
-Wet Center Section
-HKS Cast Manifold (divided)
-HKS 50mm Racing Wastegate
-HKS Racing Bypass Valve
-Wastegate Dumped to Atmosphere

And now for the pictures...well some of them....the rest can be viewed at...

where and how much for the turbo? do you have exact dimensions on the comp wheel?

Haven't driven it yet, because no filter (came in yesterday) and no tuning, but I will post later when I really feel it.

Got the turbo from www.cheapturbo.com

These are great people to work with. The turbo costs 950, then the polishing is 60, then HPS is 60, then V-Band welding is 40, then V-Band Discharge kit is 115, and wet center section is 75. So the turbo all came out to be about 1300 and I had it in about two weeks after I ordered it. They also have TO4S, TO4E, T66, etc.

The turbo has a 66.5mm inducer, 102mm inlet, and .70 A/R Compressor Housing. Hope that answers your questoin.

Well I got the HKS Manifold Part No. off of there website and gave it to a shop who sells HKS parts (not FD parts but they can get them). A week later I had my manifold, divided.

Alright just got the pics taken of the Airfilter installed. It is an S&B Power Stack Filter, 4" Inlet, 6" Length. Mounted on a 4" steel elbow that I also cut today. Filter is a little larger than expected. I should have no flow issues.

MP, the car looks beautiful. I highly recommend RotorSports, however they do not have a dyno to tune your car. I'm not sure if there is even a dyno close to them as they are a bit out in the sticks. If they will be dyno tuning the car, i would recommend bringing the car to www.undergroundracing.com in Charlotte, NC. If they are going to tune the car on the road, then nevermind

What they are planning on doing right now is tuning it on the road and are going to put together a big dyno tuning day for some 7's and then going to fine tune it then. They haven't decided when this day will be. But yea, Brian and Rusty at Rotorsports are great guys. They tuned it when I put the 1600's in and went nonsequential in May.

Thanks for the website on that dyno place.

Agreed. Rusty and Brian are upstanding people. The shop is really in the sticks. I wonder if they can safely stretch your cars legs when tuning it. Best of luck and please keep us updated on the tuning.

damn, i cant wait to get my single project completed! looks good though...

Garrett

Yeah, I've been dealing with Bryan for around 2 years now. He's helped me out in when my car has been at its worst. Usually after I've had my hands on it.

I think I'll contact him about dyno day and we can compare and contrast between the different set-ups.

thats a fucken nice turbo

Well I just picked it up from being tuned today and all I can say is....best thing to ever happen to the car. I was hoping for 15 psi, but it seems that since my motor is not doing well on compression (60psi average on front, 68psi average on back) that it won't boost past 13psi. Although it does have full 12-13 psi before 4000 rpm and has 8psi by 3300 or so. I am getting the mazdaspeed team support guy next month, so I will be able to buy my motor and build it (street port) for relatively cheap for this summer, then hit a good 16-17 psi.

It should be dyno'd in the next few weeks. Possibly a dyno day with Rotorsports Racing and some other people from NC with single turbos.

Just curious if the HKS cast divided cost the same as the collected?

RETed

Why is there a notch cut into the divider in the manifold???

I don't even really know how to get the collected or the divided. I wasn't sure as to which it was, just kind of got the part number off of their website. They don't designate between the two.

Here is what I got off the website:
17141-130327 MAZDA RX-7 1993-1996 Turbo ; Engine Code: 13B REW - Fits Standard or Racing Wastegate

I asked the same question to someone and they said that it was to equalize pressure between the two channels. Not sure if they are right but it sounded about right.
