your bay looks amazing, one of the best i've ever seen. are you running independant twins?

 

Thanks

Yes, one per rotor.

 

How well does that work out for boost response?

 

 

bump dammit!

 

I have a few more details to work on but its 80% done now

 

thats a great looking engine bay!

 

most recent of mine

 

Where did you pick up your shroud? I love that it is pretty much plain with just the rx-7 etched in. Beautiful work so far!

 

Thanks, I just took some cardboard and cut out the shape then had a local fabricator cut the shape out of some aluminum. I Polished it and had the logo engraved.

It looks better then I expected , and with the duct work done around my FMIC and RAD its very effective . Looks great and works... got to love that.

 

some of these engine bays looks just amazing!!! have you guys done it by yourself??

i just had this car like 3 weeks and still need few months to get it all sorted but here's how it looks now
(left-when i bought it, right - what i've done so far)

 

Definately a nice touch! Hide all the front of the engine bay and adds just the right amount of bling!

 

NICE WORK! That alum. shroud piece is nice. How much did it cost to just cut it? (minus engraving)

 

you cant get a piece from lowes and cut it out yourself. i have dont it many times before making custom heat shields

 

I think i might just do that!

 

Here is mine as of 8 months ago. Very functional.
Air filters recently replaced with K&Ns

 

65 bucks since it was scrap they had in the shop. All the bling is nice, but if I did it again...most would be powder coated, and the shroud is going to be CF soon. This one will be just for shows. Its alot of up keep. You cant see them but my fuel rails are polished and all my fittings are silver.

 

they sell them on ebay ever so often, i have one sitting in my garage, I think i am going to wrap it in cf though.

 

 

dang man...thats pretty bad-***

 

Here's a few pics of my work in progress...
