88 FC3S 13B REW 45r N20 Haltech Elite

Hello I'm Anthony Dinuzzo, I Decided that I would like to put effort into sharing my build with the rest of the world. Like the title says I have an FC That ive so far Swapped in Full Bridge REW built by Angel Motorsports.

I have also added in a Direct Port Fogger system from Nitrous Oxide Systems.
Controlling Everything will done with a Haltech Elite 1500.

A little background on me and the car. if you've been interested so far to keep reading.

I'm 22 originally from Chicago area but now in Michigan.
My rx-7 I bought from the original owner in Michigan about 3 years ago.
This is is a base model rx7(SE) I originally built the car with just a JDM S5 Turbo 2 swap with a 45r turbo set up on it Run by a haltech PS1k car was fun but not fast enough and about a year after owning it. I put the stock turbo back on it and blew it up.

So now were here. This is not a start thread by no means my car is almost ready to hit the road but if people have questions I can certainly do my best to answer them. Youll find that some things ive done on my car are not what you would normally see.

Thank you.

When you spray that thing, run it on waste gate spring pressure first and see how well it holds boost under control.

Is the big bar at the back of the engine bay a fuel cooler?

Its an oil cooler, I've installed some sensors in the system to measure its performance, it was recommended to me from an old head in the dirt track racing world, we'll see how it works.

I made my own originally, but my turbo set up was built by glease on his car and my custom mount sat significantly lower than the stock mount.

So I ended up buying the Angel Motorsports swap mount.

All I can say is wow. You definitely have my attention, how much power do you expect to put down? Also, where about in Michigan are you? I'd love to check it out sometime.

there is a "builds" section of the forum maybe a mod can move it there.

I like people who do something different, good luck with the project

running stock hood? im not so sure how effective that oil cooler is going to be, do you still have the stock oil cooler in place as well?

i actually did realize that this was probably in the wrong place, I did re start this in the build section.

Yes stock hood, airflow there will be tricky but I think I'm going to put hood spacers in the back to raise it off the seal, and duct the engine bay either from the bottom or through the front

thanks, yea it was 7/8 plate, mine is a full REW I didn't change anything over.

im using the full function Hall effect trigger, witch I believe uses basically a copy of the rx8 trigger wheel
