rx7 FD Progress--aspec 500r turbo kit
 

so this is about the 3rd time ive wrote this, my laptop keeps crashing and its really starting to piss me off.
anyway, just thought id post some pics of the progress of the rx7 so far, this week ill be waiting on some piping to be welded and that "should" be about it. what a load off my shoulders, its been almost a year and damn im ready for it.
mods recently added: street port, 3mm apex seals, aspec 500r kit, tial wastegate, tial bov, secondary fuel rail, supra fuel pump, aeromotive fpr, thats all i can think of right now. --list at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2229056
id like to thank javier the most for being a badass. you gave me so much guidance and did a great job at porting and rebuilding- matt for helping me put everything together, curtis for welding, and everyone else who helped out [sabastian, justin, jodie, jinka, brandon, larry, etc]
should be running soon, i may just throw the drivers seat in it because my interior is pretty stripped
anyway heres the pics of the engine progress:

thats looks sick... cant wait to start modding mine

I so looking forward to putting in my 500R when I get it. Enjoy and congrats on the build.

im going to be completely honest, mine was a bitch, but im sure its going to be well worth it

thats a really nice kit im sure all the work was worth it.

Kristyn, I thought you already were running a Greddy T78? Well hmm, when is yours going to be done? Because I am picking my FD up from Pearland around middle of December from getting my GT35R done.

ill find out once i get tuned, it better be worth it lol

i go by kris sometimes, but im not sure if you are talking to me...
anyway i ran stock twins before this set up, dont remeber considering the greddy t78, but i was considering the gt35r before i came across the 500r

--bet you are looking forward to your fd being done, atleast you'll have one hell of a christmas by having it back :]

I am your friend on myspace and I thought that is what it said on your tagline. I can't remember where I got t78 from though. I think in one of our convo's you said you were thinking about it. I can't remember though....oh and I just commented you on myspace.

knew i recognized the username somewhere, gotta comment me how it runs once u get it back :)

very nice!!! I'm saving up to do a single too. do you have a vacume hose diagram for the single conversion? I've searched but I couldn't find it. and thanks for all the pics.

looking at big turbos makes me want to cry in my s4 GXL. it's a serious double edged sword because its stock and has 30k original miles and so its sort of like murder to mess with it too much in my opinion.

i dont have a diagram, but i can send you some pics of the vaccums going to my upper intake--would that help you out?

nice when chicks like to get down and dirty, your projects coming along pretty well

are you doing this in car audio shop? lol

you need better oil cooling

twin oil cooling coming soon ;)

good to hear

thank you :)

looking good. One day I'm gonna spend the money on aspec's GT3574... one day....

here it is. nevermind the red circles (was in relation to something else)..

i was pretty reliable the first two years till the water seal broke :(
