Finally Going Single! Part 2
In February of last year I started my build thread in the single turbo forum. Since then, I rearranged my photobucket account and as a result, many of the links to the images are now broken and I am unable to edit them. I decided to repost many of the pictures here in the 3rd Gen section so this will be a continuation (in a way) of the old thread found here:
https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo-rx-7s-23/finally-going-single-889334/ As a refresher, here is a list of the mods will be adding, or already have on this build. It has been updated from the old thread: Power FC/Datalogit Pineapple Racing Mild Street Port W/Stage 3 Oil Mods. T04Z Turbo kit Synapse 50mm Wastegate CJ Motorsports Dual Walbro Fuel Pump Assy. Sakebomb Dual Oil Cooler 25 Row Track Kit AEM Water/Meth injection AEM UEGO Wideband A/F Sensor M-Spec Style Front Mount Intercooler 850CC Primaries 1680CC Secondaries HKS Twin Power Ignition GM 3 Bar Map Sensor Greddy Elbow Greddy Type RS BOV Shine Auto Project side skirts, bumper, & rear add-ons Full Paint (including Engine Bay) 99 Spec Tail Lights Fast Acting IAT Sensor Dual Pre-Turbo EGTs Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller A couple of before pics. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/MVC-011F.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/DSCF0962.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/HPIM0136.jpg And the teardown begings: http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/DSCF0968.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/DSCF0970.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/DSCF0973.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/DSCF0969.jpg The reason behind the entire build: http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...DSCF0980-1.jpg New Toys!: http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/c62bd377.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/59c64b1b.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/004d9df8.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/abc7eb45.jpg |

I was going to say your wastegate is on backwards but looks like you got it taken care of! Besides that it looks really nice. Very similar to what I am doing. Good job.
|
looks great, as stated rotated the wastegate so that its facing the ground. unless you plan on running a closed wastegate.
|
I've been debating on whether or not to plumb it back into the exhaust. Opinions???

your build looks good.
|
great looking ride, all the hard work will be worth it in the end. I had a blast with my rebuild.
|
Mine is vented but it is all up to your preference. If you're in a place that is anal about smog laws and cops all over, I would suggest plumbing it back into the exhaust. Mine is vented and in car it doesn't seem loud really. But this is coming from someone who had a 05 GTO with LT headers, large cam and open headers.
|
i love it all. that cooling plate is shexy.
|
two thumbs up for you man nice job!
|
as stated depending on emission laws that should help you decided what to do. i run an open wastegate and love the sound of it opening up, but we dont have smog were i live.
|
super sexy build
|
That's very sexy :)
|
Thanks for the compliments. Here's some more progress pics of things o fabled in the last few days.
New mount for the coils integrating a support tab for the intake manifold. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/5b63826d.jpg Front bumper support and a drop bracket for the relays so they will be just under the cover between the intercooler and the radiator. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/19615555.jpg |
Looks like a really tidy setup you have there mate! Keep up for good work.
|
All that nice work and a cheap Fram oil filter Hmm !
|
Haha. I already had the filter sitting on my shelf. It was left over from my wife's old Infinity G20 we sold a long time ago. No worries, it wont be on there for long.
|
|
thats bad ass!:icon_tup:
|
Nice man! I got to see this thing sometime soon!
|
Turbo8, once I get it done I'll start going to the meets again. Do you usually go to them? I haven't beard much lately since Mike B put his car into the wall.
Here's more pics of the new radiator mounts/ductwork. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/e13b4c44.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/c4e9fd55.jpg |
