FC resto/cruiser build up
I just got back in the FC game with my resto/cruiser build up on a 1988 rx-7 gxl 2+2
im not going to crazy on this one , my goal is a nice sunday cruiser for tearing up all the mountian roads out here but still have a/c and all the goodies for comfort (im getting old...lol) the car has 85k org miles and everything works (cruise/ac/aas/sunroof) mods so far: Corksport Rad./ Shroud combo VINSPEED intake box (not installed yet) with cold air 6 port sleeves from rob pre cat delete pipe no name catback (pretty quiet) springs Short Shifter w/ real mazdaspeed CF knob. re amemiya plug wires some stereo stuff (3amps/kicker sub/EQ custom mounted/mids/highs) bunch of new window trim/int. plastic stuff Bride seats ergo II 17's speedy lite wheels MINT S5 tails mods coming soon RB header (or SDJ if i can find one) custom cat back (not to loud) Rtek ecu upgrade momo wheel coilovers (stance maybe IDK) Corksport intake tube (TB to AFM) I'm hoping for around 180-200 hp all smog legal. CARB legal street ported S5 motor with all the smog stuff on so i can Ref' it some pics of how it sits now http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010004-2.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010005-3.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010007-1.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010014-1.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010013-1.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...x/P1010018.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...x/P1010017.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010011-2.jpg |

I have a request. If you can, do a pull with the cone filter and one with the air box on. I'm kinda curious to see if there are any gains or not.
Nice car btw. I would say that with a cone and the vinspeed drawing cold air (like nick1986's) would make a few ponies more than a stock set-up ,i picked up a few MPH in the 1/8th on my old n/a with a new intake. |
dude i love your car man! so clean!
|
some new pics got the airbox in (gab strut bar/HKS intake w/ carb sticker/red silcone rad. hoses on its way)

GAB strut bar ($35) i repainted it.

check aaron cake's write up (its real easy) i wasnt going to spend $200 on a rail (i got both seats for $200..lol) |
got a new gauge pod made 3 gauges and din slot (real gauges on the way) i might powercoat it red (i dunno)
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010038-2.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010037-1.jpg corksport intake should get here today |
whats that in the glove box bro?
|
its a EQ for the stereo
|
nice car man.
|
Nice setup, I have that same shroud/ rad setup but I haven't installed it yet, I saw that you have a water temp. gauge, so did you notice a difference before and after the install?
Do you happen to know if those air boxes are still being produced? I was gonna make my own out of fiberglass, but that piece has always looked much nicer to me. (Nevermind, found a thread on TeamFC3S.) |
the water temp is hooked up yet (got red samco hoses and inline temp sender going in) i just had it in there
yea vinspeed still makes the box and i got the corksport intake on but i need to trim up the air box (hks foam filter going in) |
intake on (i need to trim my air box and paint)
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010040-1.jpg and tossed on a momo wheel (busy day for me ) http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010041-1.jpg |
yea definetly a nice setup.
|
dude you definitely have to dyno this specially when i saw you got the pineapple racing sleaves and everything
|
yea im going to get a rtek and racing beat full set up (looking for a used set up) then im going to dyno and see where im at (160ish hopefully)
|
got the intake all done with CARB # (smog legal) some pics-
corksport pipe/ used (new) HKS MAF adaptor w/ carb # and i got a used hks filter ($50) and trimmed up air box. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010041-2.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010042-1.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...P1010043-1.jpg |
