That's a ridiculous turbo for a "street" car

Yes but you can't be going that fast if you can turn corners! :lol:

Apparently, it gets full boost by 4700-4800 RPM. That's about the same as my old HKS T51R KAI.


Either way, I like to overdue things as you can tell :lol:


You've got a sweet car dude ! :icon_tup:

That turbo can swallow a small children

Specs on the turbo?

bantam chook maybe.:lol:

Viking, was that the same turbo as used in Eric Cheatem (chathem, chetham)'s FD?

Any pics of the rear you pulled out?

Viking = Eric lol

Picked up the new turbo this morning.

Looks like the Lupe used too! lol

looks like a total bad-ass! hurry up and get it together ...

OMG that is BIG.

I'm making a bracket this weekend to get it hung in the right place. Then I'll be able to cobble together a manifold.

Hell, I might be cruising by your neighborhood STAT. Looks sweet!

I'm selling my 1st Gen RX7 Front Mount Intercooler Kit. It's posted for sale here:

(stalker warning) Drove by your place in the FD, to see if your 1st gen was outside and maybe introduce myself/let you scope my ride... it wasn't and I cried. On another note... somebody in your neighborhood has a SERIOUS Z fetish. Four of 'em in their drive way!

i cant wait to see the outcome of this project

No problem, I was out buying a welder that I have no idea how to use. The son of a bitch won't weld worth a damn. Weld won't stick, nothing ! I know I'm a bad welder but damn !

Anyhow, going back out to the garage to make another mess with this POS welder.

what brand welder is it? i know that ive had a ton of problems with linclon welders. ive never had an issue with a miller or hobart pretty much the same welder but one has a plastic drive roll instead of metal.

I don't even want to say, it's a cheap one I picked up used. I wanted something that would just be good for tacking but this thing wouldn't penetrate anything.

I don't have 220 in my garage so I'm very limited :(

Welder wouldn't work so I couldn't really do much. I did however get the turbo positioned somewhat where I want it.

The manifold on it right now has 2 inch runners, could possibly be even bigger. It looks to be built pretty darn good besides the crap they put on it that's flaking off. Very weird stuff !! Anyhow, I'm thinking about just cutting off the T4 flange and about 4 inches of tube then buiding it back up to the new T6 flange. What do you guys think ?

Also, it also looks like I'll be able to use the existing 4 inch downpipe. I'll just need to get a 5 inch to 4 inch resuser.

Let me know what you guys think of the plans.

lookin good Big E.

Massive turbo, is the fuel pump setup similar to how your FB was? Bung welded into the bottom of the tank?

You mean my FD ? No, this 1st gen has been actually Sumped, not like my old FD :lol2: . I'll be tearing that out and selling it, though. Not sure if anyonw will want it since not too many 1st gen guys are into that sort of thing. Atleast it seems.

As far as the pump, yes it's the same.
