actually no its the stock 13b housing but the "ear" that used to holb up the air-pump , i shaved it of ...it just looked out of place, then i made an outlet to the radiator ,
and yes thats just the cosmo tb ....just wanted to get fancy with the words thats all, i did remove the extra butterfly`s and the iac , i had all the holes welded even the ones from the extra butterfly`s

i am trying , only problem i have left is my i/c piping , wich is a bit complicated cause it runs trough the front of the car and underneath the headlights so....but i will make some vids for u guys
thanks for the tip jeff , i think though my 20b has had an oil mod (i was told 20b`s are prone to bearing failure at high hp ) so i guess my oil press is a tad bit higher than normal

oooo so pretty man! i'm jealous,
hey quick question if you don't mind... I see you've upgraded the coils/ignitors--what is the factory 20b ignition system like? how much boost/hp can you play with before it starts to blow out the spark??
cheers

not shure cause i didnt get my original coils ,but i ran with my 13brew 20psi with stock ignition and a big single ....dont know if that helps
from what ive heard the 20b`s coils are similar to the fc coils , and from what i understand those are alomost indistructible...so..

It's definitely higher than a stock FC turbo, and it's slightly higher than the RB "street" OPR.
It looks like it might be identical to the FD stock unit specs.

i bought pre-bend pipes, and now i am going to weld them up , the intercooler is an apexi that i used on my 2-rotor setup , and now is converted to use for the 3-rotor, its mounted all the way in the front ,i will post a pic with the front on , once i get home ill post them

the turbo fc cable is prolly over 2 feet

yup they are like $30 a pop ,so i guess they`re cheaper than the bosch coils , i like them because they are kinda an upgrade at the same time
and no so far i am pre-mixing, i`ll be trying to mak esome kind of ghetto-rig-device later to make the omp work ...but thats later
all i have to do now is bleed my clutch, finish my i/c piping ,and check that damn bump steer,then we`ll see what this baby can do

they have an adapter plate for the fd front cover to run a mechanical OMP. of course, if you use that plate you have to run an external oil source. just make a tank and mount it at least 6 inches above the inlet bung on the adapter. then make a cable to run it. voila. problem solved. hahahaha.

Felix has your IC proven to be efficiant due to not having that many fins?
Years ago I was checking out SCC's Project Rx7 and they did a test on the M2 medium and large IC. Originally the M2 medium IC was more efficiant than the M2 larger one. The larger one had a bigger overall core but had less fins than the medium IC. In result, the larger IC had more pressure loss than the medium IC. Eventually they redesigned the large IC to have more fins. Now the M2 large IC proves to be more efficiant than their medium IC (less pressure loss). I would hate for you to loss HP because of too much pressure loss.

yeah actually i was wondering the same thing... im trying to decide on which IC to use.... the greddy 3row "looked" good?? thats about all i have to go on... im not aware of a website that has comparisons of efficiancy for various IC's. that sounds like somehting that jason at rx7store should do since he has all of them. i may even just temporarily use the stock 20b ic for awhile.
