Thumbs up

No problem. My tuner is working non-stop for the next two weeks trying to get is Drag car ready for the NHRA Drag races in Gainesville. (gonna go 8's in a TII)

I will be in Vegas next week, (to steal Gonzz front spoiler- just kidding Gonzz) and will be back at my tuner's shop after the 15th. I will get you the S/N then. Remind me though, my memory sux.

As far as the sleeves go, I asked him about the restrictive size and asked if we are going to port it open. He said, "no, well just put in third gen ones."

I don't know how, but he made it sound like it was not a big challenge. I will pm you the info when I get it.

I know I am further behind than you and Mike-P, but I (fortunately) have some professional help to guide me over here.

Now do you just jerk out those sleeves or what? Whats the difference in the 2? Anyone got a pic?

Oh well sorry if I sound incoherent again, I freaking went out with the boys again last nite, and Im still drunk and called in sick again

I know I am further behind than you and Mike-P, but I (fortunately) have some professional help to guide me over here.
That suxs dude, wished I had someone to ask that had done this type of thing, and when the time comes Im gonna be screwed trying to tune it

The back flares are Mariah.
The rocker panels are custom
The front Fenders - Porsche (911/930 Slant nose) - *not sure on this one *
The front Bumper - Porsche 944 Turbo

It looks nothing like an RX-7. It makes the car look too modern.

By the way, nobody replied about the nickname?

"Project Kramer" as in "COSMO Kramer" from Seinfield.

Good or Sux?

With the exception of the way cool intake, its basically gonna be like yours rx7passion... Dunno why you couldnt find one? There all over the place now, by the way the dude picked up the motorcycle today, I got $1500 in hand, time for a clutch, flywheel, & single turbo setup... That put me at about $3200 Do I qualify for the money pit yet?

Mike,

Any decision on the clutch, flywheel and Turbo yet?
(Hey, weren't you keepin the twins?)

I am planning on a 17lb Lightweight Flywheel from Racing Beat. Man, I didn't know they were this expensive..

I still haven't decided on the Turbo or clutch though.

BTW, if we end up with a similar enough setup, When Iam done, I will send you the MAP from my Haltech setup if you like.

IM me, Ill tell ya what Im getting Got it all figured out, also got a price on the flywheel and stuff from RB, it was way cheaper than Mazdatrix (which he told me to contact RB directly)...

EDIT: I can get the twins to work, but Mr. Bud Light says MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE HP

Hey what are you thinking about for a turbo? I'm looking into getting a 60-1 or a T62 p trim with somewhere around a 1.00 a/r exh housing. If your thinking about the same turbo spec. What secondary injectors are you going to run?
I woulden't mind trading haltech maps with ya when your done. Is crispeed doing the tuning for you of are you going to be doing it yourself?
So far I have the 17lb flywheel from rb and am waiting on a clutch that I ordered from BNR supercars (stage 3). It's a 4 puck sprung design. I talked to Bryan from their and thats what he told me to get for what my expected HP# were going to be (350-375 to the wheels). Said that would give me a little safety factor if I ever upgraded or took the engine apart to port for more hp. Talk to felix wankel about it, he has one on his T2 and says he likes it.

Actually Mike-P and I chatted online last nite about it. He told me the deal you guys are getting from BNR. Sounds like a good deal. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the T-04B part. Those turbos aren't the best for power or responsiveness.

I don't have my flywheel yet and I have to get a counterbalance because my engine didn't come with it.
Oh well. My Turbo ideas went out the window when I decided on the big-port Cosmo. As far as the clutch goes, I am not sure about that either. Secondary Injectors will likely be 1200 cc's for safety and low duty cycle.

Basically, I have my ideas, and the Tuner has his - since he has been doing Turbo Rotaries since the 80's, I am sure he knows ALOT more than I do and will take his advice .

I'd be happy to send you Haltech Maps when I am done too.

Yeah I appreciate the sharing of the maps if you do so, but we are gonna have to have basically the same parts right?

Can I send my secondaries to RC engineering for a re-do or whatever its called. Can they jet more fuel? Or do i just buy different ones?
