She might not be that fast, but she got to look good.

 

Did you just throw the wheels on or did they need work like rolling the fenders or changing the suspension?

 

Just throw them on, nothing else done to make them fit.

 

Working on a turbo exhaust manifold, custom made to clear the bulky Pro Jay LIM, and off course it will clear my modified RE semi LIM by a mile.













Pics of the manifold will be posted once is completely welded, and will have dual turbosmart 40 mm gates.

 

I like, cant wait to hear this beast come alive.Lol

 

Great progress, can't wait to see it running!

Are you going to get the 8.8 swap kit?

What transmission do you plan on using?

 

Looks Sick!

 

Believe me, I can't wait to hear her running, should be before end of the month.


Yes I'm going 8.8, Tranny I'm looking at getting the Supra Getrac, but that will be next year, to much money wasted this year.


Thanks buddy, your build isn't staying behind.

 

Drop fuel pumps in the tank, installed FPR.

 

Fuel lines done.
ABS delete done, still need to bleed lines.
Wiring harness installed, still need to install Altenator.
All pulleys installed.
Need to finish exhaust manifold and downpipe, and find a few small parts that I misplaced.

Next to start working on intercooler setup, and get upper intake and compressor cover powder coated, most likely Gloss Black.

 

Awesome work. Looks beautiful... We are getting close to see the black mamba in action!

 

The powder coating looks awesome! Great color choices. Should be a really fun car to take out when you get her done.

 

Manifold 90% welded! all is left is weld the Wastegate runners and dump tubes, the downpipe is also almost done. Also did a quick fitment of the 99 spec bumper, if all to plan I should be able to do the first start up next weekend. Then after that yo fabricate the intercooler setup, it being kinda hard finding a intercooler core that it will work, so will be probably be using two cores.

 

Hi BLACK MAMBA, What's the ticknesse tube exhaust manifold turbo? You will not aplly any suport for the turbo to engine?

 

Schedule 40 = 0.145"

Not planning on bracing it at the moment, but a removable brace from the air pump bracket to the one of the bolts in the T4 flange has crossed my mind.

 

Well I couldn't wait to have the intercooler / radiator setup done, I had to get motivated.
There is a exhaust leak at the downpipe to Midpipe flange.

 

Wow she's alive, very nice Luis.

 

The sound of power ...... Epic
Bet you are happy as **** with the music out the back

 

Bro 3 things:

First, AWSOME!

Second: You never told me where i could get the cannards for the stock 99 bumper.

Third: Need an RX-7 Front Plate as well LOL

 

Thanks Ric.


Oh yeah, very happy.



Thanks, bro. I was hoping you forgot about the Canards, but pm sent.

I bought the front plate from a guy on the forum about a year ago.

 

That idle sounds intimidating!

 

Eargasm! Sounds great

 

sounds great....much better on my computer than my phone.

 

congrats on getting it running , that is a very nice sound .

 

Nice looking engine bay and congrats on getting it running. Hope to join you soon And another Borg Warner user. I think you'll like the 74mm over the previous 80mm unit.
