here's my work in progress.

 

Looks good.. Looks like she will be ready for Saturday..

 

maybe, you never know. but you didnt said which Saturday.

 

You know what Saturday im talking about.....

 

i might be changing ecu, im going to try the pfc and see if the harness is ok, if not i might sell the pfc and get a haltech sp1000 with a premade harness.

 

Tuner?

 

Still a couple things to clean up...ugly power steering reservoir lol, abs and brake booster soon to look better!

 

thats an issue with either one, self tunning i guess.

 

Haltech / crispeed if you can get him to tune the car and hes local.

Now I laugh on the inside when people ask what cam I have.....

 

LOL, atleast you can tell them it has pistons. Kills me when people ask if its Turbo if its a V8

 

1st picture is what my engine bay used to look like. The other two are the "current work in progress" pictures. Changed out the the whole IC set up. Piping for the IC will go directly into the front end, and running dual oil coolers. That should help with heat! Vented hood on order, along with new front end. Still lots more to do!

 

WOW! WOW!
what can you tell us about your engine (if anything) stock? I can't wait to see the end results! The colors scheme really pops out with all the polishing. Very nice!

 

mazdalover, it appears you still have the stock bov (bypassvalve, its the brown thing above the turbo-->intercooler piping) and an aftermarket bov (appears to be HKS). Is that correct?

 

M2 Large SMIC will be next.

 

 

is that a hybrid t2 motor in your fd>?

 

S6 housings, S5 lightened rotors, S6 bottom intake, S5 top intake.
Nothing to special, but gets around the track.

 

OK, I'll have a go then...










lol, thanks to my glamorous assistant

 

The twin turbo FD Rx-7 utilizes two BOV's one is used to as an actual bypass valve for the second turbo venting until 4500rpm when the rear turbo comes on line. The bypass valve (brown) is controlled by a solenoid and it closes the brown bypass valve to build boost on the second turbo. The aftermarket BOV is a Synapse, and this is used as a regular BOV.

 

Before:


After (95%completed):


all thats left is install some pulleys (pineapple idler, matching purple alt and WP and AC tensioner),ceramic coat and wrap the dump and make a cold air intake tube to locate the filter down near the intercooler.

Brad.

 

I win. Or lose depending on how you look at it.
