my turbovert project car almost complete(pics inside)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, its almost complete, my turbo vert. I just wanted to share some pics, and specs on it.

89 rx7 vert
92k miles on chassis
18x8 HP racing evo wheels(sorry mills, but i liked them on yours)
complete T2 drivetrain swap
rotaryresurrection large streetport rebuild
T04e turbo kit
custom intake setup
cheap e bay stage 3 clutch
720cc secondary injectors
HKS Fcon
HKS GCC
HKS FCD
innovate wideband
Leatherseats.com group buy seat covers
Greddy turbotimer
Full turbo back racing beat exhaust(on back order)
powdercoated lower, and upper intake manifolds(Kevin Landers)

Ive been into 3rd gens for about 6 yrs now, but have always loved the verts, i got a good deal on this MINT rolling chassis, and then bought a T2 donor car, and did the swap. Its turned out great, so far no problems. I do have to wait until the exhaust shows up before i really get a chance to drive it, and tune it a little. Maybe in a few weeks, it will be good. I would like to make around 350rwhp when its done

planned upgrades(soon)
Power FC
larger turbo kit
here are the pics

Otherwise very good looking!

You forgot to list "skyjacker suspension" under modifications.

Rims look killer, though.

That blowoff valve needs to be routed back into the turbo intake duct...i don't see how you are geting a smooth idle with it being open vented like that.
