finally cleaned my engine bay

Never cleaned my engine after the rebuild, which was approx 1.5 years back. I cleaned it myself. Its all stock. I also put an exhaust on. It has some Japanese writing on it, however I could never tell which make it is.

I took out the bulb from my boost gauge since it was really dim. Does anyone know the size of the bulb for this gauge. The bulb i took off was not the original one (as a result I'm unsure of the size and number). Also can you guys help me identify my exhaust?

Still holding on with Ron 89/90.

Please excuse my photography skills.

I would love to, however in my country we only get RON 90. Thats why on the flip side, i'm actually trying to restrict the boost at 7psi (using the Profec Type S).

Kittens----- yea i know. Great product though!!

One more question...How much does Hi test cost in Bangladesh? In Pakistan, it is like RS 50 for a damn liter. No wonder they don't let people pump their own gas...

darkphantom: Thanks a lot.

Goodbar6: Thanks. Next move it to get the feed side skirt and i want to replace my front with the 99spec.

Rotary Racer: I have no option. Can't basically mod my car beacuse of available octane ratings. Also a friend of mine, explained "The RX-7 was never designed to be some high powered super car, yet that's what people want. It just doesn't work well with the RX-7."

SomeGuy_sg: Thanks. Thats what I thought. I saw kakimotos in my Hyper Rev vol91. All I can say now is, they make great exhaust systems. It sounds so nice with my Knightsport CAT. A deep throaty sound. NOT loud and I am loving it. Also I dont creep with a HIFLO CAT and this Catback, which I was fearing. (0.75kg/cm2)

jic and jeff p : Thanks. Will do.

harris69: Yep, get a LOT of attention. I'll tell you this much. I EVEN HAVE TO IMPORT MY OIL FILTER,AIR FILTER and SPARK PLUGS. Sorry, I didn't quite understand. What's Hitest?

if you want to limit your boost there should be a pill in the vac line that goes from your primary turbo to your wastegate actuator. just take the pill out or put a new vac line with out the pill and then there is a next vac line that vents boost out of the actuator just plug it. and you will have 7psi. hit me up if you need more help.

Please help about the size of the bulb for the boost gauge. Which size should I buy? The original bulb was missing, therefore I cant tell which size I need.

No one helped me with the size of the bulb for my boost gauge. I changed it with one, however the problem is still here. The upper half illuminates fine but the lower half doesn't. (please see the picture)

Also the boost gauge I believe, if i can find the right bulb will match my dash perfectly.

Any idea where I can find the water temp gauge of the same blitz series?

Sorry, once again, my photography skill sucks.

P.S. I got a McIntosh HU (am waiting on the audio control unit)to replace my current stereo setup. I'll fit perfectly and hopefully the lighting will match as well. Now only if i could find a bulb for my boost gauge.

On a lighter note this is what i have to do every night to keep the RATS from entering my exhaust.
