I was wondering what that blue wire was. Mine's just hanging out of my dash. I guess I should get around to install a stereo of some kind...

Well I did not have a camera when I started on the car so the best I can do is take some pics with the parts out of car and then show you more recent.

Picture a bone stock 88GTU with a blown motor no center consol trim pice no ac vents no sterio oxodized paint with rust spots evrywhere from metal shavings siting on the car for 2 years. dirty as could be.

Here is some snipits of befor.




After 2 months. New calipers rims new tail lights motor swap FMIC

I was thinking that as well! Just wait until Aaron Cake gets a hold of that pic. He is **** about wiring and I remember him saying something about runing along the driver base trim.

got it stock s4 silver with a faded primerish silver respray. 20 on a j spec. i did alot to it over time.


this is how it was setup with the hybrid...




during the change over, ewwwwww


this is how it is now:
wish it was done.... im so slow.




here is a pic of the hybrid, the stock turbo and then a pic of the t70 i have now.





it ran a 14.1 at 101 2.2 60ft first pass ever in this car. mostly stock 10psi

ran a 13.3 @ 106 2.1 60ft with the hybrid at 12 psi

id like to run 11s or maybe faster with my new setup.


the thread of my new setup:
https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo-rx-7s-23/my-build-up-update-some-huge-pics-questions-453902/

hey sleeper, do you experience and lag with such a big FMIC??? the one i was looknig at was pretty ginormous, but i read about some lag tryin to pressurize it, and kinda opted against it.
