Wink Project update

I havn't been home much the last 8 months 1st working WY and now CA. They do fly me home every other weekend.
The tranny is holding up great at 3 months of punishemnt at 25psi boost . I did damage the reverse synchro some by trying to shift into 5th but hitting rev. I'll be putting the solinoid back in and wiring it to the ecu to allow rev under 5mph. It still works just grinds a little.

New items being added to the car

200A alternator a quick how to link (https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...60#post8246560)
I started upgrading the fuel system to run e85. I had just about maxed my old setup running 25psi using 110 race fuel.
3x 1680pri & 3x 2200cc sec. injectors
2 bosch 044's and 1 apex r33 fuel pumps all in tank.
all new larger fuel lines.
and ordered a set of 305/35/r18 Nitto drag radials (The bridgestone S03 have about had it.)

I was hoping to have it together by the time Steve K. was intown tuning cars but I was stuck in CA for Memorial weekend. I'll end up doing it myself again I guess.
With any luck I should be able to accully get her on a dyno this year.

It has been a busy month at work. and only being home for 2 weekends sense I started the thread.
As for power estimates it is hard to say. On race fuel I maxed out the turbo last fall. I would like to see 800-850 at the wheels but I am not sure the turbo flows enough.
I was able to fire it up yesterday for the 1st time on e-85. I really like the smell of the exhaust with the Klotz Benol for premix. I have most of the casual driving tuned and have up to 16 psi coming along well. It will be 2 weeks before I am able to continue.
I am going to replace the o2 sensor just for a piece of mind. The last one has a few years and alot of race gas miles on it.
