88 rx7 gxl with a s5 TII swap. currently running the rtek 2.1 with 720/900 and a bnr stage 2. theres some other crap on there too but too lazy to list them all, and there is still tuning to be done. enough talk here's a couple of pics. and yes i know i need an air filter.

 

very nice!

 

Looks Good man!!

 

You need an air filter. Lol nice car man.

 

i like the bay, even with the blurry pics it looks fairly clean and neat

 

thanks.

the engine bay isnt really that glossy since it is high temp paint. i thought about using clear coat but i didnt think itll hold up. it does keep the temps in the bay down some, even during hot days.

 

Looks good.

 

speaking of keeping heat down- I knew there was something I forgot to do to the car tonight, put the turbo blanket on!

how about I sell you a lip for the front of that car?

 

im actually gonna make my own lip, i dont want anything too crazy just something simple. i got kinda tired of the homedepot lip.

 

if ur gonna do a lip, i think 240sx lip looks great on s4.

 

yea thats the route im going but the 240 lip looks a little too tall i want something a little shorter. probably a half or an eighth inch shorter than a 240 lip.

 

are you going to do any suspension and at least clean rims to make it look like a clean daily sleeper?? i love how sleeper it is but some rims and suspension to use that power would complete it.

 

LOVE the hidden intercooler. Looks like you're not an idiot like the other numbskulls that cut the hell out of their front bumper so everyone can see what they have.



Speaking of sleeper, the car in the background's mine too. No one ever suspects it

 

Some cut the bumber for improved flow numbskull.




OP, I love the silver man! And I agree, it is very sleeper and I too am a fan of the hidden intercooler, especially when you want to appear stock

 

the rims look a hell of alot cleaner now since i did buff and polished it. as for the suspension im running tokico all around on stock springs, i cant find any springs that would retain the stock height. but i do have teins strictly for scca season

 

nice...well i know swaybars and adjustable shocks would help alot out without ridding your ride height and if you have fully adjustable teins you can make your car stock heights or at least have wheel gap lol

 

if youre running a standalone..................why not just convert the afm (its mounted wrong and wont work properly like that) to a IAT sensor? confused on that fact

Lloyd

 

i was running a stock TII ecu that day since the rtek hasnt been tuned yet, other than that i usually dont run with the afm.

 

ah ha, well that answers that question.
for setting up a standalone, what sensors do you recomend besides rpm and load?

Lloyd

 

You should seriously think about gettin one of his lips, they look really nice. Here's a jacked pic from his thread... hope thats okay

 

................... You know the AFM is supposed to be level right? .......

Nice car!

 

Nice no one well suspect a thing lol.

 

im still using somewhat of my na setup, works alright on a tii. which is a gm 4bar and a hot wire maf from a mustang that i hooked up in boost. works pretty well untuned. if thats what you were asking.


i thought about it but if i was going for a lip like that i would have to make a whole front diffuser. dont wanna add anything just for looks right now but i will definitely go for this look in the near future. im talking about the orange vert in the back.

yea i know, to top it off that was a na afm didnt notice it til i got home and looked at it. i know im pretty terrible. i dont drive it everyday though, i only drive it to the friday night meets, this setup is only temporary planning to go vmount within the month just waiting on another payday for the intercooler and rad then tuning time

 

its funny, right after i posted that and walked away from the computer, i was just saying to myself how running a hotwire afm from a ford and then running a coolant temp sensor would probably be perfectly acceptable with rpm and load sensors

Lloyd

 

lol thats funny. yea it runs fine with the hotwire routed in boost soo it looks like i dont run an afm
