Engine looks great! I don't think I've seen an intake mani setup like this. Have more info on it? Are you going to clean up the bay some before you bolt everything back up?

Yeah ill be cleaning up the engine bay more. I might also polish the transmission as well.
I believe its a cartech upper manifold into duel webber throttle bodies into a port matched custom lower intake with 900cc x4. Just for the break in period. Once broken in, ill put 1600cc x 4 with more boost from my t4 t66.
I need to clean it more and then im getting a custom turbo mani made and ceramic coated and my haltech platinum sport 1000 all installed along with other various thing nessarry to gain 500 horse.
just got it and the t2 trans in my 88 vert last weekend.
thanks for the positive response. what im going for.
its my 1st turbo rx7 and im going big. Ive owned rx7 sence I was 16 (83 rx7 1st car) im now 27 lol.
you only live once, 500 hp pow pow!!!

I like this shot, once I added the larger radiator I can't add the intake duct, I think I will do some cutting of the duct to clear and fiberglass the cuts to seal?

It's probably just me, but LS engines make me think "elephant" when I see them because of how the intake looks.

That number sounds like a bit of an over-estimate haha
