5 months of work coming to fruition
 

here it is, finally after all the anticipation (at least by me) my build is finally done and my monster is coughing back to life


This wasnt the first time i started it, just a video to show what i have going on. It took me about 4 hours of messing with my ECU to get it all started up, then after letting it idle for a good 20 minutes it died on its own cause the gas light had been on when i blew the motor in march and i had forgotten to fill it up since then, so i went out to get some and after finding 2 gas stations still closed after the lighting storm that ended 2 hours prior and 1 gas station that only had regular i finally found one that wasnt retarded, filled my jerry can and went home to fill her up and try again. After i got her running again i was able to figure out the issues after a quick drive around the block. As soon as i backed out of the driveway i realized i had forgot the power steering fluid (had to remove cooling line and re-route for the v-mount) then about 3/4 of the way around the block my engine coolant alarm came on so i gently yet quickly made my way home, and in the driveway that surgeing told me i likely have a vacuum leak(although it may just be i havent set up the idle correctly, not sure)

My build was a long one, really starting in november, and then my motor blew in march so i have been pieceing it back together since then

mods i have done are:
- Greddy Vmount kit (just the layout kit, hot side piping and intake piping is custom)
- Borg Warner EFR series 8374 IWG Turbo
- Turblown 3" Downpipe and Manifold with inconel heat sheild for manifold
- Davies Craig Electric water pump (controlled by ECU)
- Turblown EWP kit
- CJ motorsports "FPD" Fuel Rail kit
- Aeromotive Fuel regulator
- Injector Dynamics ID1000 primaries and ID2000 Secondaries
- Pineapple raceing large street port (both intake and exhaust ported and polished by me useing the templates)
- Exedy Twin plate racing Clutch
- Sakebomb Garage oil filter pedestal
- Innovate Oil temp/pressure gauge
- AEM wideband o2 sensor and AFR Gauge (plumbed into my ECU)
- AEM truboost boost controller (mounted in cluster in place of stock boost gauge)
- Adaptronic series 8 RX7 Plug & Play ECU
- Knight sports 3.5" high flow cat

Had to make a few custom things, such as my fiberglass pillar mounted 2 gauge pod, Battery box, the intake pipeing on the turbo is custom cut and fit by me, i pulled the wire harness right apart, got rid of all the wires i no longer needed and re wrapped it(as well as pinned out a few things that i would be re-purposeing)

The car came with a couple things, had a 3" Kakimoto catback on it, that bodykit (dont know what it is), fully adjustable coilovers (cant remmeber brand but they are pretty good), Mazdaspeed brakes (not sure if those were standard or not), and my Yokohama Super Advan V2 rims wrapped in AD07's (that need to be replaced soon)
