Well time has come for another engine upgrade
Building a new engine for the SA. I bought a FD engine and porting it this weekend. It will replace the TII engine I am running right now. Took her for her last ride today.. Engine is coming out tommorow. Going to install the engine in my other RHD SA in a few months. I'm sellng my custom FD UIM set and my custom primary and secondary rails w/720/1600cc injectors. Pm me if interested. Look for some pics real soon.. Going for 500 + rwhp on the new engine.. Old engine pics below..

We got one in the works also; a 3-rotor bridgeported turbo in the RX-3SP. Rene is doing the install and tuning.

Why not just get a bigger turbo and run more boost?

I hear you are going with a custom UIM? Like the 685 RWHP FD.. Is it true?

I just don't see why you are going for an FD engine. You are aware that they have different engine mounts from the T2 and the wiring is very different, especially between an 86-88 T2 and an FD?
It'd be easier to just build the T2 engine, and that's primarily because you already had one in there. The FD isn't that much more superior to the T2 motor once you start modding them, except for stronger housings.

BUT I dont know what to do with the 2 RX-3's and 2 FB's. I wanna keep them all but I feel that I should concentrate on one project car. I will wait til next summer of 2007.
