She is Back in my arms again. has been in the shop for 7 months. painting her black this fall. All mods listed in sig. would love to hear some feedback and i have some questions about my idle. thanks looking

 

more pics

 

Can you say "sleeper?" Very nice.

 

yeah haha. no one knows what hit em, untill the hear the BOV go off.

thanks man

 

i like the plumbing for the turbo. not a bad idea. allow the turbo might heat the intake charge

 

my only problems after the swap are a Horrible idle, i need a new driveshaft, and im running way to rich. other than that the car feels great and has lots of power.

 

comp cams?

 

lol i was waiting for that.. haha the shop put that on for some reason.

 

lol.... Nice progress BTW, I love how un-attention getting it looks.

 

interesting intercooler piping you got there. why did you choose that? the turbo heat isn't going to help the air going in...

 

It just occurred to me that maybe one of the reasons you're running rich is you may need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. If you have a higher-flow fuel pump than the stock TII pump, it could be pushing more fuel that the stock regulator could handle, causing the engine to run rich and have a terrible idle.

 

With how little air makes contact with the pipe it's not too much of a worry. If it is, make youserlf a turbo blanket. THey can be easily designed so they're simply warm to the touch after a hard pull.

 

the piping is pretty much exactly just like greddy's first model for the FC.the only other thing that i would cange is the exhaust tips. get them angled down more so they are not poiting at the ground

 

Dang, 7 months? How come she was in the shop for that long? Right now, I'm still trying to fix the problems on my girl.

 

ahh your in alberta, i'm in calgary, where abouts are you?...

if somewhere around me i'd love to see the car and ask some questions in person, you could see my GT-X aswell....

:P

 

and the reason your running rich is because you have nothing to control the fuel injectors.... gotta get a Rtec or Fcon :P

 

arch, your in calgary hey? my cousin lives down there i would totaly love to hang out and talk cars.

i plan on getting Safc2 to controll fuel, so i hope that would work. but what can i do about the regulator??

and i am doing most of the cosmetics that are to be done this fall. hopefully a mariah motorsports mode six wing and black paint.

 

OMG......................................









Your clock works?!!!!!! wow. Impressive :P

 

Wow, you're right!! I still haven't seen a working FC clock in person though.

 

Oh and thats not it. not only does my clock work but so does my airial. i thought that was pretty sweet. in my last rx7, neither of those things worked.

 

that interior is in fantastic shape

 

Nice work it all looks good. I like the ICP rought. It allso makes it so you dont have to work around ICP when removing spark plugs. Thow Theres no way I could have roughted 3in pipe all down one fender :-( I tryd.

Your using 720's just get a rtek chip it is pre tuned for 720s and betor performance and cheeper then you will ever get out of a SAFC2. It even changes your timing for more boost and built in FCD.

nice sleeping look and great interior. My clock dont even work but my last one did.

 

yes i am quite proud of my interior. in these pictures the car is very dirty. it has been raining here for a few days so i rinsed off the exterior for the pics. the int. looks so much better when its all cleaned up. thanks for the comment.

 

do u think the rtek would solve my bad idle problem? and should i still get an safc to compliment?

 

Your idle issue is ither a dirty BACV or tps setings / idle adjustment. The secondarys dont even kick in untill 3,800RPMs so there not even on during idle. It could be dirty injectors did you have the 550s cleand?

There is no need for a SAFC with a rtek. Your setup is ideal for a rtek or I would sugest another rought.
