rx7 FD Progress--aspec 500r turbo kit
 
18 Attachment(s)
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:

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

zack4173 11-12-07 12:40 AM

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

DMoneyRX-7 11-12-07 12:45 AM

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.

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 :]

DMoneyRX-7 11-12-07 12:56 AM

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.

sinoeun 11-12-07 02:40 AM

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.

davemo 11-12-07 10:07 AM

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?

ah it should be all back together and on the road by this weekend. ended up doing a lot of additional mods while the motor was out so that's delayed the whole process.

eh, i know how that goes. what happened to your motor? :(

purerx7 11-13-07 01:08 PM

looks good, any reason you chose the 500r over the gt35r?

pure_rotary 11-13-07 01:11 PM

well, i was debating between the gt35 or gt40, leaning more towards the 35r, i kept reading as much research i could find, and i read the thread about the 500r and since its a step up, i figured id go for it.
the whole set up was kinda a bitch to me, but hopefully the results will make up for it.

LoL i was about to ask the same thing... well sorta.. more like i sure hope the first picture is a chick, otherwise someone needs a serious wardrobe makeover :lol: then i saw the chick in another picture... girls who work on cars - especially rx-7s - are the damn sexiest girls out there (granted they are hot to begin with)

turBRO240 11-13-07 02:08 PM

Youre just jealous and i doubt your driving record is flawless

GT34 11-13-07 03:30 PM

There's nothing hotter than a lady working on a car, especially if that car's an FD. Excellent job on the build.

worst accident ive been in was going under an overpass, caught gravel, and hit a curb- fked up my rim :(
then again, compaired to crashing a whole vehicle, a rim is nothing, but shit happens.

no nothing to hide, i just usually dont like posting pics of me/me working on my car because someway or another i come across forums posting my pictures and harrassing about them, it just got pretty annoying.
:] i think i might have a pic of me on my cardomain--link on first post.
