If your current setup is a twin setup, expect to spend 3 - 4 hours taking things apart pulling stuff that you don't need anymore out (rats nest, stock manifold, stock turbo, etc). Then expect another 3 - 4hours to put the new fuel rail, fpr, connecting hoses, resistors (assuming you are going to 1600cc) and turbo assembly, dp, manifold, WG in. Maybe longer...The process went very smooth for me (us @ the RX7 store) for the first GT35/40 install we did (mine). But have had experience with other single kits in the past...

...its alot easier when you have the right fittings, engine mounts, gaskets, and clutch parts on hand!

Note: Nocab is a EE and Zayvier is a wiz with tools. So your results could vary.

I have the same mods as you and am ordering the gt35/40. Do you have a map available from your car at 15.5 psi that you could share. I hope it would help me to get in the ballpark. I am in western Canada and no one knows the datalogit or rotaries on a dyno here so i hope to get the basic tune close and have them fine tune it on the dyno. Also curious what fuel pressure you run.

Thanks
