i love the outcome.. your car looks sick!

i wonder if i can come close to the 1000whp with two 044's. my old CCW's used to stick out about 2-3mm and it almost messed up my rear flares are you planning on leaving it like that?

my old turbo used to sit in a similar location as yours and all it was doing was sucking up hot air from the radiator. when you re-do your manifold see if you can tilt the turbo back in a angle so is not so close to the radiator.. kinda like mine

 

I was thinking about adding bump stops just in case.

I was trying to move the turbo back farther, but the exhaust housing is too big to fit. I clearanced out one of the humps on the strut tower like you did.
I'll keep playing with it.

 

1000whp? Is your block studded or pinned or are you just running a later series block?

 

me or ironmdnx?

 

sick car

 

Well I guess both since your heading towards that level also.

 

mine is pinned, C code, Balanced, bridgeport(previously street)... i know i will make over 1000whp if my two fuel pumps let me everything else should handle it.

i know his car is streetport, balanced and im sure its pinned and if i remember right it's a C code as well.

both of our cars made 800whp+ with a 80mm turbo @ 25 psi. we both running 88mm turbos now.. i dont see why they would not make 1000whp around 30 psi.

 

My engine is studded, balanced, aftermarket eshaft, all new irons(no stamp). I still have my origial b series irons.
The ports are a large streetport, Judge Ito style.

 

Which eshaft are you running?

 

I have a Jeff Bruce (Precision Eng.) from NZ. At the time the exchange rate was awesome. It was only $14xx shipped.
When I broke my e-shaft a few years ago.

IronmdnX about what rpm did your old turbo spool at( starting to boost till peak)? also what rpm do you expect the new one to spool at?

 

I just sent an email to Jeff and asked for a price.

Hope that helps.

 

I looked at a 4th gear dyno pull log

3500= 2psi, 4000= 7psi, 4500= 12psi, 5200= 25psi.

The new turbo will have more lagg. We will find out soon.

 

Prices are the same; $2400+520 ship = $2920(NZD)

Car is looking amazing

 

You took the engine out and took it apart the same day you snapped the eshaft? https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ght=jeff+bruce

Damn.

 

Yep, I can have my engine out an about 2 hours, teardown of the engine is pretty quick after that.

 

Hmmm it looks like the 4rotor crank kit just got cheaper. Without shipping, I converted the price to $5294.90. Damn I need to come up with some money.

 

Reading this thread I couldn't help but think of your car. https://www.rx7club.com/automotive-news-lounge-22/super-fd-922870/

Request for an update

 

He'll probably give you a more detailed update.

He got his axels Thursday and the drive shaft sb built this week. Hopefully I'll see him next weekend at the local car hang out next weekend.

A quick update.
Axles came in and are installed. I picked up my driveshaft yesterday after work. I still need an alignment and to set final ride height.
The wheels and tires do fit within the flares with the weight of the car on them. So no bump stops needed..

I was able to take it for a quick spin arround the block. The turbo spools about the same as my old one. I do have an exhaust leak somewhere. I think/hope it is the wastegate gasket.

Next on the list is get the windows tinted and get black seats or skins.
I'll post pics tomorrow.

 

Could we see some pictures of the Axles fited to the car?

 

Been way too busy with work, plus I have 2 other FD's in my garage that I'm working on.



I hope to get time the next couple of days to finish a few items and get an alignment done.
I'll take some picture when I clean her up.

I'll take some pics of the 8.8 swap for you also. There are a few threads on here and the v8 forum about it.

 

Thanks, I would appreciate it. I used your last thread on the T56 swap to do my car; it’s one of my favourite threads!
