Sup guys......I picked my 7 up today. I had a new ported motor installed, apexi gauges, Tokico 5 ways, Eibach's and Haltech E6K...

 

..

 

Holy ****, your car is sick! 11 sec car

 

another

 

Hey the car looks great. Now if you would just polish your manifold and pipes you would be all set.

 

one more

 

awsome. hope to see some 10 second timeslips soon!

 

You and me both!

 

what guages u got in the dash on the passenger side?

 

Apexi Boost, fuel pressure, water temp., and EGT

 

I noticed you have the greddy pulley kit with a main underdrive pulley. Any cooling problems with that set up or problems with the alternator when sitting idle? What size belt are you using for the alt and water pump?

 

gauges are hott in passanger side

 

glad shees back ernie...now quit showing off...

FOR ALL YOUR POLISHING NEEDS contact TWINTUROTEDDY

looking good ernie

 

That radiator looks HUGE. Is it just the angle of the photo or does it stand almost vertical? I see in your sig that it is a Mazdacomp radiator, but it's not the direct replacement is it? How big is that thing?

 

Sooooooper nice, Ernie!!! Man, makes me wish I hadn't sold my FD now

 

Looks damn nice man

 

yum....tasty.

 

Sweet Ernie! You should be proud and take care of her.

 

ErnieT, your car is sick for sure. Did you dyno it while it was up there?? Just wondering if you hit 500rwhp yet. I used to work down in Owings Mills which I doubt is even close to you, but I am looking for another job somewhere in MD right now. Anyways, I hope I don't end up next to you at a stop light.... I consider my car pretty quick but again your car is just sick..

 

First, ErnieT the car looks great. Mmmm... big turbo. I look forward to reading about your experiences at the drag strip with the new setup.

I've got the UR main pulley and the SR underdrive pulleys for the WP and Alt. Without the larger WP pulley, there would be very little contact and I am pretty sure it would slip. Even with the larger pulleys, the anodization has worn off after a few track events. I suspect that it might slip a little, but I haven't had any major problems with that setup. I use a Gates K050295 or K050290 belt. I can't remember which length it is right now, but I think only one of those will be a valid part number. I bought it at a local auto parts store that I located by using the distributor locator thing on the Gates site. None of the other local shops had a 5-rib belt in the right size, but the Gates distributor was able to special order it and get it the same day for about $10.

I am switching to Evans NPG+ coolant, so I'm going to switch back to the stock main pulley and stock WP pulley to increase the speed of the water pump and reduce the chance of slipping. I've had no problems with the alternator being underdriven, and keeping the larger alternator pulley will increase contact on the WP pulley, so I am keeping the larger pulley on there.

Thanks guys. As far as the radiator goes, its a regular Mazdacomp inverted. Dave says I won't have any cooling issue's with the pulley setup. Havn't had it long enough to tell. After I re-coop awhile, I'll polish the inside of the engine bay. Right now, Im tapped!

 

Would be nice to see a dyno sheet and what psi you are running. I can see why you are tapped out.

Ernie -

The car is bad a$$. I love the GTC front end.

What carbon fiber kit do you have? It is really nice looking.

Later,
Patrick

 

Sweet!

hows your ride with the eibach and tokicos?
