a special thanks goes out to the owner of the car and his friend Chris for helping out with parts hunting!!
The owner originally came to Rotaryshack for a stock 12A motor swap but after a test drive in one of the "low budget" turbo swap cars he had to have one!!!
this car was built on a tight budget since the owner was a college student ,,, so if your looking for speed on a budget ,this IS the way to go!!!

p.s. you have to see this car in person to appreciate how clean this rx7 is!!!

 

Looks nice, got any more shots of then engine bay?

 

When I was at his shop several nights ago, that car was 90% done. Hopefuly, when I go back next week, I CAN TEST DRIVE IT!!!!!!!

 

Looks great man! Mine will be at the running point soon!!

But watch out, i got my avatar and signature deleted cause i was advertizing you, so they may delete all your stuff too!! I donno whats goin on...

 

looks realy nice. what was the total cost of the "low cost" set up?

 

Thats lame because all kinds of people list brands in their sigs... Racing Beat, GReddy, Blitz, etc

Poor Robert is probably still "paying the price" for being associated with the heathen Jeff...are the float bowls of a Weber different so they don't need to be pressurized or is there something esle going on I'm missing in the pics?

 

no im pretty much free and clear of that whole mess, but thanks for asking!!

as far as the carb being pressurized, it is through the bowl vent , the hole is incorperated into the hat design

 

Well, I'm sure physically and financially, but I was talking about the old collective conscious here in the Forum after that infamous thread from aways back...

ps. we're trying your "tension bolt stretch" trick Monday on Furious Rex to try to stop the dowel pin leak...everyone cross their fingers for us...

 

it will help for sure ,,,, trust me

 

how much did it cost by the way?

 

I still don't understand why someone would take a fuel injected turbo engine and put a carb on it. It's going backwards if you ask me, or is it just the price?

 

why dont you read up on blowthrough setups
that car is making alot more power than a stock tII
-greg

 

take a stock tii setup, drop a blowthrough carb on it, you get up to 100 more hp.

STOCK SETUP.

so now, what was your question again?

 

ouch.

 

I see no discussion on the blowthrough. Its simple. It makes more power under same conditions (more efficient), easyer to tune (no need for laptop), and is cheaper (fuel injection systems go for up to $3000. Carb can be had for under $1000).

 

I'm never mentioned stock setup. I have stand alone microtech with bigger injectors. I only paid 650 for my LTX not 3,000, cheaper than carb.

Don't know how much the rotary shack draw through system is but I was told of a similar system I belive by mazdadragracing.com or mazdaracing.com or something like that and it was two or three grand (this is what I was told at sevenstock)

 

is that car located in San Franciso? and is Rotary Shack located over there up north?

 

Rotary Shack is in Chatsworth (San Fernando Valley).

 

So it makes 100 more HP than a stock T2 without a intercooler and what looks to be a stock turbo?? Something isn't adding up. What am I missing?

 

but why accomplish a blow through setup and be only within a limited amount of power that could only go so far?? 350 hp max perhaps?

and wouldn't fuel injection be more "efficient"? please further explain

 

awesome, how much did it end up costing the guy? Did you keep the same tranny?

<l><l>

 

its a stock tranny. look at the picture of interior.

 

has he got a Limited slip rear end or an electric locker or something to put the power to the ground?

 

That's what I'd like to know too.
