So a custom spec garrett BB turbo. Is that something like a GT70R ??? The Exhaust side looks a bit big to be a Gt35/40 variant.

you dont have to give out your secret trims/specs, just ABOUT what other turbo its equivalent to would be great. Awesome work by the way....

All I can say is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. That is traction-issues power there.

 

howd you set up your turbo to be posistioned up front like that? thats sick as hell.

 

oh yeah. hurry and bring your car by my work. the guys are dieing to see it.

 

What was the website for the fan shroud. Above link did not work. Does this fit the fluidyne rad. (looks like thats what you have).

Thanks,

 

Ian, if you knew how to spell, you'd have known that he just missed one letter.

My fan is from them as well.

 

Your car was amazing.
That was fun stopping by to see it run but damn is it loud. hehe that's a good thing though.

 

Another perfect example of an Rx-7. Great work man.

It's really an amazing achivement. keep working at it. maybe you'll hit 500!!!!!. good luck

Dam Dude. You know I can't spell I did not recognize that fan shroud on your car.

CA RX7. What part #'s did you use.

Thanks,
Ian

 

Sorry about that guys. I tend to type and not pay attention to how I am spelling. My wife is making fun of me as I type this even I can't remember exactly what the part numbers are BUT if you look at their online catalog it's the 18" monster fan. They only have one like that. I was told at the time of order that there is only 1 shroud that properly fits that fan and so I went with it... I think it was for a 67 camaro or something.

My radiator is a Mazdacomp, so the external dimensions are the same as the stocker... except thickness obviously.

thanks,

no prob on the spelling. At least you have some grammer skills unlike myself.

Your car is to clean. I've been trying to polish my stuff the same. Did you do that your self or sent it out?

Ian

?

 

Chris,
I got some nice video of flames shooting out of your wastegate and your glowing red manifold Very impressive numbers. Now we just need to get Matt's peice of **** running.

Scott

 

I did all the polishing myself. Actually, I have done all the work on this car myself, or I should say without professional help. moremazda and J Rat helped as did my neighbors and wife ... but yes, I did the polishing. It really helps to buy an actuall polisher... none of that drill stuff.

Scott, I REALLY want to see that video. I'll have to swing by over the holiday sometime if you're gonna be around and yes, we need Matt's car running

-Chris

*oops, just realized Robin is signed in

 

If you send me the vid, I can host it!

Jarrett

 

Didn't mean to ignore you Fatty and chris:

The turbo is very simliar to a T04R, except that it's BB. I honestly have no idea what the Gt70R even is as far as wheel trim etc. The turbo is nice but I think a major player in the performance is my custom manifold. Which is the reason that the turbo is positon where it is. I didn't intend for it to be quite that high, but it works very well.

Scott, you gotta get those vids to J-rat.

-Chris

 

thats impressive

 

Chris

My computer is old-school don't really know how to get the vid on it. Next time you are on this side of town give me a call and you can borrow the tape. Just get my number from Matt

later
Scott

 

shweet. I'll be calling you this weekend. Jarrett said he can digitize it for me.

 

I think Chris has a PT Turbo
from his description

 

HOST IT!!!!! That was crazy seeing the manifold glow that way.

I have only seen that on my friends 3/4 ton chevy when we installed cams and had to run the car for a half hour straight without stopping.

 

It's very similiar, though not exactly.
