1. stock turbos are out to be replaced with a better set of stockers

2. intercooler is out to be replaced with rotaryextreme regular v-mount

3. stock main pulley was just replaced with pettit underdrive version w/ goodyear gatorbacks

4. primary and secondary coolant lines to turbo being replaced

5. turbo piping is undergoing the polish process

any advice on what else should be replaced, changed, ect?? thanks everyone.



BTW:Photoshoot before the teardown..

 

Engine bay wash, vacumn hose job, and a battery.

 

agree with you on the engine bay needing a good wash.. i might have to spray over a few parts that have rust on it.. anyways, the hoses were changed to silicone by tripoint mazda but i might have to redo it.. and the battery is out because i am still trying to decide on relocation or small batt..

 

relocate the battery.

 

I suggest stick with the big battery and maybe relocate to the back. The small battery is too risky. I went with the small battery and nothing but problems. Good luck!

thanks. what gauge wire you use?

 

i think most people use 1 guage but i used 4 gauge and i have no problems with starting, i also use the small dinky hawker 680 batt.

u can change the pulley's and fuel filter while ur cars down

 

the only thing that bothers me about having the battery relocated to the rear is having it track legal.. I do not want to run an electrical power cut-off switch on the rear of the car body.
