Anyways, today was the first day I "really" got my Turbo II back on the road. It's been under the knife now for nearly two months while I've accumulated parts and fixed various issues.

The new performance mods are:

Edexy H/D clutch and pressure plate ('turbine' hooked me up )
KYB AGX struts and RS*R "race" springs
Apexi S-AFC
680cc primary injectors (thanks rx7doctor)
890cc secondary injectors (thanks J-rat)

And this fun little gem:



Alleged specs are: ported s5 hybrid with a V-trim TO4B compressor wheel, .60a/r and a T04 housing... I still don't know turbo's *that* much, so I'm just playing the parrot.

Anyways, I got everything put back together (finally) and began tuning today via the S-AFC and a borrowed wide-band. Again, Tyler (turbine) is the gangsta' who hooked me up. We were able to get a pretty rock-solid tune, with max boost set at 12 PSI until I can get my FMIC bought and installed (next week). We tuned for low 11's and after a couple hours of casual tuning, we got the thing pretty much locked.

We also had a little run in with an NSX that didn't pose too much of a problem.

Anyways, I'm really stoked with the results and the increased power, so I figured I'd share.

 

sweet

 

BTW, this is my Turbo--however it looks a little better with the new suspension.

damn..very nice! love the satin black! glad to hear shes back terrorizing the roads! post some engine pics

 

Coilovers?

 

Hmm... Nah man, KYB AGX's and RS*R springs. The pic is before the suspension upgrade.

nUb.

 

That pict was NOT taken at sears. I'm disappointed

Love the rims

I was impressed on how smooth the 680s tuned out. I anticipated some trickery but all went very well.
Just about a perfect injector combo for that turbo (680x890)

Word on the NSX couldnt **** with us.

 

wow congradulations man! It's a great feeling to have the car working and working well!

damn man, thats beautiful. u have any new pics u can post since it has been dropped?

Kyb Agx = good choice (im running the same struts). diff. springs tho - eibach prokit

 

nice!

I second the engine bay pic motion!!

You've always had clean, concise FC's erik - I like the style

 

Looks great Erik.

 

Nice Pic!!! What Exhaust Sysytem Do U Have?

 

I <3 your taillights. Did you just take those stupid diffuser things out?

 

satin black is freakin sexy as all get out on your FC.

if I ever buy a beater fc that needs a paint job i think I'll have to do that.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. The paint is just basic Duplicolor semi-flat with some good prep-work. I have to say the car looks SO GOOD with the new suspension... It's a whole new monster, and it frikkin' pulls SO nice in 4th gear.

Heh, I'm gonna wait 'til I get my FMIC installed before the engine-bay pics. It's pretty *clean*, but it's kinda cluttered.

RX710thAE, the exhaust is dual Apexi N1's. p4nc7, yeah I mod'd my taillights.

 

I second that notion.....from the passenger seat and from behind the wheel it is a friggin' beast

w00t!

 

I liked the white one better. But I did the black ones performance!

You build some nice cars yo.

 

very nice looking setup erik. I can't wait to see that thing turned loose in person.

 

your s4 give me something to look forward to and dream about when i get my s4 pretty soon. I love the N1's too, but i am going to go single exit. I dont think i'm going to go too wild in the build though, like a lot of us, i just want a streetable car with decent power, not tryin to beat down Z06's or anything. i like this smile so i thought id just throw it in for fun cant wait to hear more on your 7, later

 

Are you *sure* you want to see this thing turned loose in person?

 

Round II???

 

Yeah, the white car was purdy... Then again, considering that I sold it for $5.7k and bought this one with nearly identical mods for $2.5k--I can't complain.

I think I might paint this car white in like, 2 weeks... Maybe...

 

very nice.....you have to post more pics.

 

sure, I'll tell you what though. Instead of me waiting for you to get dyno tuned and have the car running perfectly, and then just going out for fun with 30 miles on a new build and zero tuning, how about we wait until I am actually tuned this time.

Not to mention that we won't be doing any ricer bullshit roll races either.

seriously though, I don't see why it's so hard to believe that I can appreciate a quick car, even if it does whip me. besides, i've always liked RX-7's [shrug]
