i was wondering how much RWHP im looking at here on the stock boost levels or around stock boost levels cause i know with the exhust done it brings it up a little bit. also would anyone like to take a guess on how much i pick this up for cause it has bad compression?? :bigthumb: :bigthumb:

Nice car, who'd you pick it up from? I don't remember seeing anyone from Houston selling a car like that recently

it was some kid that was moving up to college station infact. he lived in the woodlands.

got any pics of the car

heres the pics of the car . minus the greddy intercooler and hardpipes cuz he took them out when i bougth the car but ad a blitz exhust !

also can anybody tell me what greddy intercooler that was and maybe a website that has that exact one cuz i dont want a front mount.

Looks like a nice car, and it has a lot of the "reliability" mods already done. Congrats.

With alof those mods the car should also have a DP BTW. At least it better.

on stock boost and still runing a stock cat I'd say you are at 260-280 RWHP (assuming the power FC is tuned. Get an IC and add a midpipe and you should be in the 300's.


Seems to me that car is almost ready to hit 15 lbs of boost (ignition, fuel pump, injectors). With a 15lb of boost and with all of the proper mods you should be seeing around 350 RWHP.

thanx Rotorhead am so happy that i got her, but can anyone anwser my questions plz.. also ill let everyone know how much i got her for once sum ppl guess

yea montego it has Dp and no cat

I haven't seen that one in a while. I think it has been discontinued.

But for a good SMIC you don't have to stick to greedy. I'd say go with either a PFS, or ASP SMIC. Check the for sale section here.



on another note, compare your mods to other cars that have similar mods.

cool graph thingy, lots of help. but damn that sux that the intercooler is discontinued the reason i wanted that one was because i didnt want any headachs with fitting another brand intercooler and piping to the greedy t/b elbow.

all of the intercooler kits fit the greddy elbow. ;) unless you get one for the stock piping. with the exception of any one-off elbows, Greddy is the only aftermarket elbow for this car. (Im 99% sure anyways).

OH well that sloves that problem then. anyways i only paid 5grand for the car since nobody has ask yet. i think its a steal of a deal anyone think different??

5K? Wow... that's a really good deal. Congrats man! Very good looking car.

by the way, how many miles does it have on it???

5K? Damn, someone didnt know what they had or REALLLLLLLLLLLLY needed some money. :)

Neither the PFS or Pettit will work with that piping arrangement.....

For only $5k, it APPEARS to be a screaming deal, however, at that price I would worry about flood damage/salvage title.....

In any case, congratulations on your car. Lot's of knowledgable FD people in your general area. Don't blow it up.

Damn $5k is an awesome deal! Why can't I find deals like that? Is anything wrong with it? Blown? Coolant Seals going? If not, Congrats Dude!

Miles well on the body there is but im gonna be puttin in a new motor that is rebuild and ill be keeping my old one to rebuild it as well, so if that one goes i have a spare.

but as far as running no its not it has bad compression on the rear housing. and hopefully with this new motor it will be working fine. Yea the guy was moving to college station and needed it out of his parents house fast so i talk him down to five grand but with no intercooler.

salavage title is a negative it was a rich kid and his parents would have neither done such a thing believe me. but about the smic how come it wont work with my set-up cuz someone said it already that it would.

I don't believe anything a seller tells me....I assume the title you received is a clear title then? No Carfax issues?

Well, that someone was wrong.

Some of the SMICs require a stock intake elbow connection -- these include the PFS and Pettit. Neither of those two ICs would work with your piping setup as is.

With the piping setup you have there, ICs that would work include the stock IC, the SR Motorsports, the Blitz, the Greddy (obviously), and the M2/ASP/Pettit Large (which would replace the hard pipe from the elbow to the IC with their own).

Good luck with your new car.

ok ive search the forums on which smic is the best but arent the all the same when it all boils down it the basics but if sumone knows which is good but also at a good price plz tell me ur opinions.

You didn't search very hard, there are definite differences between the ICs I listed....start here, old but still valid data:

http://www.fd3s.net/intercoolers.html

Sorry i meant i search on the forums. and ive been serching and i cant find a retailer online of the are ASP Large intercoolers and ductings. anyone have a link or wanna sell theres???

If you find more deals like that let me know :bigthumb:

NP man ill keep a eye open for ya!!! i just cant wait to drive her, its just she so beautiful sitting there and so temping. does anyone feel this way when their 7 is down for the count and awaiting for sum more cash thrown at it:(?!?!

my apologies I forgot to specify which use the stock elbow.

yea but can someone tell me the website for a retailer of ASP Large intercoolers and ductings or are these dicont. too?

thats a great deal for that price its just like ripping the person off LOL. but you said it has a bad compression. i thinks its still a good deal with a bad motor though. at least you have a shit load of tuner there in texas that can reguilt and tune your engine right.

Oh whoops, missed that part...:D

still no one has posted about a retailer of ASP Large intercoolers and ductings which would be a big help to me?!? so if u know one plz post their link. :bigthumb:

its all good. You had me second guessing myself for a second. :D

try www.rx7store.net

or pm Kevin T. Wyum he makes them.


https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...light=asp+smic

thnx fo the links. and i just finished reading the long forum about the M2 thing which means i could find a knock off from other companys for a better deal?

sigh

don't do knockoffs.. general idea with rx7s.. is "u get what you pay for.."

nvm thats a general saying for anything in general eh?

^^What he said. Dont buy knock off, because in the end, you do get what you pay for. The quality of the ASP intercoolers are amazing, so your getting everything your paying for.

The only problem i can think of is that i thought RX7store has been sold out of ASP intercoolers for a while. If i'm wrong, someone, please fill me in. I'd say the best bet on one of those intercoolers is pm'ing Kevin T Wyum.

With these cars, dont go cheap; save a little extra money, and get the best.

Good deal is to much of an understatement. A steal sounds more like it.

lol I posted that so you would know the difference between M2 and ASP IC's and whom to contact for one.


M-

as they all say. you ripped this guy off.

i came close to what you got for your FD. i only paid $6,000 for mine and it was rebuilt + the mods. but 5,000 is like a civic

yea but the guy was cool im just glad i got the car. o yea that forum was long as hell it took me forever to read that shit.

Rpat, post a WTB SMIC thread in the parts for sale section. You can find some killer deals on used SMIC's there. That's where I bought mine. Many will come with the Greddy Elbow. The Elbow's are only $150 new.
