Well it has been posted on TeamFC3S already, I figured i would post it here too. So yeah Finally convinced BDC to do our 1st full bridge street car, yes I drive it to work.
My car was already half bridged, so bridging the primaries was cake conservative too. I also swapped my turbo set up while I was at it. I went from the Master Power T-70 to the Master Power GT-45 turbo. It is a very large turbo with an exhaust wheel bigger than a Q-trim wheel. Thanx to bobybeach for the turbo too. I already have around 250 miles on the engine and I'm loving it. I see it no different than driving my old Half-bp around town and yes you get a choppier idle. The low end response feels the same to me too. The car is almost ready/set up for hi boost runs. which i hope to do in the next 2 weeks or so. Any ideas on what type of power to expect around 21psi?
here are some pix.













Goin in for paint!!!

whoa, nice! are those fno1rs polished?

 

I have never seen anyone use this turbo on an RX-7 before, but it doesn't seem TOO big. I say that if you crank it to 30psi you might hit your goal of 600rwhp. Lots of people seem to think that around 500+hp you run into restrictions with the stock intake setup, that's why a lot of the high HP people have Jaytech or custom intake manifolds when trying to push that much HP. Still, LUPE made 603rwhp on a streetported FD engine@27psi, I think at 30 you'll crack 600.

What are you doing to make sure the engine holds together at high boost (>15psi)?

 

You better give me a ride!

 

Thanx! Yes they are polished. They dont sell these.

 

Yes that is the ultimate goal...just need a better EBC to do it. The engine will do fine under 20psi...its 30 where I begin to squint.

 

I'll let you know when its done..We'll test it out down George Bush Speedway.

 

Don't mean to steal your thread, but about how much does a full bridgeport with a full rebuild cost?

 

You would have to ask bdc i'm not sure he does full for customers.

 

looks good, better make another dyno video

 

just wondering what size shoe that is next to the turbo? because that pic makes the turbo look massive

 

That's some nice bridgeport there. The video sounds good.....

I've seen this turbo used before on an RX-7, though it was a 20B. Made something like 407HP at 7 PSI....which is amazing considering that the shop who built it can't even put together a 13B properly....

 

My shoe size is 11.5 it is indeed a large turbo more pix and vids to come

 

i have a new desktop background hehe.

 

wondering what kinda exhaust manifold you have, and if you worry about it possibly cracking under stress+heat. Cant wait to see numbers!

 

The manifold is an HKS Cast...should be bullet proof.

 

damn dude! what a turbo upgrade! thats the turbo i almost bought, but went a little more conservitive w/ the mp t70 you lucky ***!

 

Dave Gibson ran that turbo on his street port 13b he ran on pinks. Not posted but he made 570whp at 27psi on a mustang dyno.

 

Yes indeed the turbo should bring back good numbers, with the full bridge I hope to make the power with slightly lower boost.. time will tell

 

Whens it coming back from paint?

 

Iloved the vedio, it was so intoxicating. Nice job man.

 

Please tell me you'll be at the DFW meet this weekend. I wanna see this thing in person!

 

Errr...I'm going to try to..I was really going, until I lost my license plate on the highway last week. I havent made it to the Tax office..I suppose I should go tomorrow?

 

Please do. You can give rides! :P.

 

those nikes are nice. oh and the car too
