I FINALLY upgraded from the 87 N/A to a 87 T2!!!!!! It was only 3500 Runs Perfect and has a racing beat catback(only mod). I pick it up tomorrow ill try and post more pics when i get it.......Im So excited, like a lilttle school boy on christmas!!! :-)


In the backround is the guy im buying the car froms 400+HP 12 sec 2nd gen that he got 2nd or 3rd in one of the nopie races a couple years ago. and to the left is one of his 2 third gens.

 

Congrats! Welcome to the club. Are you keeping the '87 NA as a daily driver while you fix up the TII?

 

sorry file was to big

 

no had to sell the N/A so i would have enough to buy the T2, Im POOR :-(

 

Cool man,
Congrats and I know how u feel!

Take good care of her!

 

I'll consider selling my vert for a T2. *hint hint*

 

I picked it up today and Its GREAT its like driving a whole diferant car then my N/A.... Iv only drivin it a couple times now and already love it!!!! The guy I bought it from has a couple Rx-7's hes a mechanic and specializes in rx7's and races them. He said they do a stage one mod witch includes full exhaust, Bigger injectors and fuel cutoff for $2,000 and he said it will give me about 100 more hp and ill run in the 13's.... does that sound accurate and a good price??? (i dont have the money to do it....but maybe one day)
Thats all installed for $2,000

 

For $2000 you could do a lot more on your own

 

well i know full racing beat exhaust is close to $800 bucs new. fuel cut is close to $100.....but i have no clue how much injectors are..

 

FCD is about $50-100, depending upon where you aim for your deals. You can make your own full exhaust setup for less than $500 (but then you'll have some excessive noise) Larger injectors are about $100-$200, but it's a bad idea with nothing to control it (s-afc or similar) which is another $150-$300. Plus you'll need a boost controller to make all the new stuff worthwhile, $50-100

 

Congrats. Welcome to the Dark Side. :darth:

 

nice car looks like its in good condition i want to post pics of my new 89 t2 but i don't know how to downsize the pics could anyone help me on that

 

HE GOT THE SUPER RARE SUPER WIDE BODY EDITION!

 

ok want to check a couple things cause im new to the turbo. I can really feel the turbo kick in at 4000 RPM's and I dont know how to read the boost gauge but it boosts to the 5th mark after the 0 mark, is this normal good bad whats it supposed to be ect????????

 

Also It has 120,000 miles, seems to run great, starts great, quiet and doesnt smoke, when should i start looking into a rebuild to prevent blowing the motor???

 

Buy a Boost gauge as your first mod, either in PSI or Bar. Im sure alot more people would be able to help with that question.

 

Get one of these puppies....

then get a fcd and a fuel controller of some sort. that would be a good start. also, that would prevent you from having to buy like, 3 different gauges. it should save you quite a bit in the long run. But, i am sure one of the older forum members probly has more sound advice! I am just starting to heavily mod out my 88 turbo II. right now im getting a remapped ecu, (rtek7 ver. 1.7 anyone have any experience with these?), compatible fuel injectors, the wideband o2 kit with lcd, egt sensor shortly afterwards, and a field sfc hyper R (due to the fact that you can store 3 different types of fuel curves). i already have a full dual exhaust (3"dp to dual 2.5" inlets) with no cats and a stage 1 clutch from centerforce. should be rather fun afterwards!!! i just got my baby running a couple of months ago. spent one year restoring her. very nice indeed. plus there arent too many rex's running around in tulsa, so alot of honda boys turn their heads and goggily-gook all the time. its nice knowing that i have an ORIGINAL styled import!!! welcome to the club of turbo rex's!

 

Normal boost on the stock boost gauge should be about halfway up at max.

Join the party - I got my TII a few months back. Gotta love the feeling when you hit full boost. rrrrrrrrrrrr-RAWWWRRRRR!!!! lol

 

120K on the motor now??? I'd start looking into a rebuild about 30k ago.

 

yes get a aftermarket boost gauge first like others already said about that rebuild question you should look into it soon 120,000 miles on the engine they say around 120,000 miles is the normal life of the t2 engine also how do you downsize pics to post i am trying to post new pics of my new t2 i got can anyone help

 

i just made the pic smaller in paint, but it didn't turn out very well

 

go check ur inbox for private messages

 

100 more HP from exhaust and bigger injectors? I wish. This guy doesn't sound like he knows all that much about FC's. You will need at least a BNR upgraded turbo, full exhaust, 3" turbo inlet duct, boost controller, larger secondaries, walbro fuel pump, probably a front mount intercooler, and something to control it all with like a standalone.

he seems to know alot he says it will run in the 13's after hes done, with stock computer and turbo, he had a fc there that he did it to, it was getting the belts replaced, the guy who owns it said it ran a 13.6. but you cant just go by what people say, thats why i posted it. :-)

 

ok the first day i had it didnt get on it much...I did tonight and i loved it!!! but there might be a problem sometimes in first and second gear right after 6,000RPM's, when im getting on it, it kinnda bogs down a lil then i shift and it sits me back in the seat. Other times it goes geat and i shift at the buzzer right at 7,000RPM's. Is this normal or is something wrong????
