Alex "EL NENE 7" Rodriguez's EYE CANDY part II-

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD
!!!!!!!PICTURES ON PAGE 2,3, AND 4 !!!!!!!!


Well its that time I been doing so tough thinking and I really miss the rotary scene. I am still building the drag car, but it will take me some time due to sponsor set backs and my deployment coming soon soon. For those of you who dont know me missed out on my monster T70 pwered FC. That will all change today.
I teamed up with LUCKY 7 RACING of Duarte, California in a mission to build another "KID 7". What am I gonna be building? What is it gonna be powered by? What power levels are you shooting for this time Alex?

Well here its is, Its pretty simple I know I can build me another 450+whp FC , I know that with the parts and outstanding level of tuners out there , those numbers are a thing of the past. But heres the curve ball. How many have built a solid platform, instant power producing, stock in apprearance, and in a low budget FC lately?

Heres the plan-

I want the engine bay to look as OEM as possible, while still keeping my A/C, PS, and best of all OEM top mount intercooler.

I want a hybrid turbo w/ internal wastegate to help push the 13b into the 320-350 whp power levels.

Most of the mods I have to do ie. fuel rails, line, turbo inlet pipe, etc..... Will resemble OEM looking parts. No namebrands will show. Basically to the untrained eye it will look like a 180whp stock FC.

Same goes for the exterior, stock clean lines no flashy kits or paint. The wheels will be "WORK WHEELS" - I know I am a work equip *****

Interior will be 100% stock, I will only have 2 gauges and those will be in a blacked out glass under the radio.

Now enough about saying what I want to do let the money spending begin!!!!!
PICS IN PAGE 3

Looks like a good plan to me man.

BNR turbo? If so which stage? Also which EMS are you planning on using for this one?

your plans to hit 320-350 on a top mount are definately possible. Not advised but possible.
Am I mistaking or did you say you were shooting for 450? If so will you be squeezing in order to make up the final 100-130 hp? Also I would consider making it an external wastegate like myself and BLUE TII have done. (see thread)
https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/wise-one-circuit-theory-beater-fc-project-789449/

What kind of times will you be shooting for?

Just the man I needed to talk to you have a pm.

I am shooting for 320whp with a 3 row custom intercooler w/ the top portion oem shroud. I also forgot to mention I want to do this with as little boost possible. I clearly witnessed it first hand you dont need a 450 whp car for the street. But if you have 280-300 whp at all times on a daily driver hot or cold temperatures still boosting great now thats a winner!

Hell noooo! Thats why my *** is in the Marine corps I hated school. But I am a MOD and I dont want to turn people down from reading my thread from the bad ENGRISHH.

ahh an inchiki intercooler or thats what it is called in japanese. Basically just means fake or more than meets the eye. With that you can definately hit your HP goals of 350 I would expect.

So what about bottle feeding your baby? Also will you be using meth injection?
Will it be mostly a track car or are you thinking to register it?
I think I have a MazdaSpeed LSD stored back home in Cali if you are interested.
Sorry I am no longer in the parts for free biz hahaha Lucky 7 took me for all I had before I moved to Japan hahaha.

You should do some form of auxiliary injection. The lines can be hidden and it will give you a lot of benefits for what your goals are.

I was going to ask if you had any plans for alcohol/water injection. It seems like it could be useful in a case like this. I want to get a alcohol injection kit myself and would love to see what others are doing with it.

I do plan on meth injection and it will be discrete it will look oem too using a second windshiel washer resovoir would be nice . Like the cold start bottle on some Fc but a little risky been close to heat.

As far as fuel I plan on 720cc primaries 1600cc sec. Fuel delivery will be by a denso supra pump. I will never run another AEROMOTIVE pump on the street!!!!!! They are good at the track but for everyday driving suck .

The car will mainly be used for Pure enjoyment. What ever mood I feel that week is what I will be doing. Considering that I am in California again I want to try a little streets of willow for starters. And registering it 100% legal is another goal. Sure i can pay someone off but I want it to also appeal legal. again by the untrained eye a rotary is as dumb as a box of marbles. They all look round but we know theres little triangles that spin in there.

Sounds like it will be pretty badass when it's done. I love stock looking cars that are actually faster than they look . Judging from your last car, this one will turn out to be amazing. Good luck, I'll be waiting for more updates!

Thanks and like I said guys this will be a budget yet dpne right build. So the help of "FREE" parts will be greatly appreciated.

Parts that I need that usually are a pain to get a hold of on a modified Fc.

STOCK AIRBOX w/air scoop pipe
Oem battery box
fan shroud
s5 turbo manifold
factory gaskets before I get them

so let me get this straight....

you built your fc...
then redid the whole body...
then sold it for dirt cheap...

now you are going to build another one with less power?

why didnt you just keep the original one? i cant imagine you make back nearly as much money as you put into it. or is your sponsor paying for most/all of it? i'm confused.

YUP!!! and I regret it.

YUP!! I dont need 450+ whp or a monstrosity of a turbo to play.

Moving back to cali and the "WIFE" had a large playing role. But also the way I was drained when I tried to start a new life back in florida I pretty much lost everything I had.

On the next FC it will be for my pure enjoyment. It will be nice but I dont want to spend $10,000 + building another FC like I did. Again its just me but I realized I can build me a nice 9.00 et drag car with $15k with my sponsor and connections so theres no point In wasting that much money into a street car that will not be
1- reliable
2-daily driven a lot
3-performance driven- because on the street it will suck ***- I KNOW
4- you are not gonna be using the power everyday
5-SUCKS IN THE SUMMER
6- I have to worry about CALIFORNIA **** cops and smog now

So with that been said I rather Build my drag car and have a FUN fc to play around in every other day

theres really no reason to keep the top mount intercooler given how bad the stock location was
especially u wanted to make 450hp
u can spray alcohol + meth all you wanted to keep your temp lower but a bunch of those is just a waste trying to fight the heat soak from the intercooler

i say FMIC and black it out if u want to keep it stealth
if u swap the FD UIM and black that out too it'd look as stock as it could ever be, that eliminates the bolt holes on the t2 UIMs
NO!!!! i dont want to make 450 whp , been there done that ! I am still looking into the manifold situation. still in the process on the engine we are not sure if we are going with the FD irons yet. If we do it will be a piece of cake for the manifold.

Well you know I have to put the "" on there so iit can make it a bit more JDM.

No for real I have a little connection that this person is helping me on special order parts. I am trying to go back before the end of this year so I can rack up on some wheels and suspension parts, but we will see how that goes.

Get a N/A, convert her.

I know you are better off that way alex, if i was that would be my route.

Cheaper, better, and who cares?

Unless your gonna sell it, did you sell the other fc? If you are then i guess go for a titled FC but i know you could do a good swap.

I gotta swap my fc from auto to stick, im gonna wait till I can turbo that bitch and do it all clean as hell, I was thinking of getting a "decent" t2 and sell my clean N/A, but why would i do that to her :P she has the potential.

You could find a much cleaner n/a for cleap and running decent, run 6port turbo tune it good, would be better then the 4port low comp t2 engine

thats my plan atleast, =)
