IRPerformance Built
So after looking for around 9 months i pulled the trigger and bought a Montego Blue RX-7 with 66k miles on the motor. No dents paint still looking really amazing for its age. After about 2 months of having the car i called Ihor from IRP and after discussing what my power goals would be I purchased a IRP Borg warner S360 with dual external wastegate setup.
In Febrauary i made a trip over to New Jersey to check out the shop and drop off my car. I decided to have IRP rebuild the motor and stage 4 race port it with RX Parts 2mm apex seals they used a Banzai Racing aluminum pulley kit with Pinapple racing idler pully and IRP motor mounts. For fuel went with Walbro 450, FFE rails, Bosch EV14 1000/2000cc injectors and Relocated the Braille 21lb battery to a the passneger bin and installed a HKS Twin Power ignition system. IRP Installed a Apexi boost control kit and 3 bar map sensor setting the boost to 12 PSI. They also pulled the stock intercooler setup out and installed the Greddy V Mount intercooler while modifing everything to keep my A/C and a Greddy polished elbow with the AEM V2W/M Injection Kit. My alternator was loooking rough so decided to get the IRP upgraded 140amp alterntor and IRP Water Pump. They removed my A- Pillar and went with a prosport Triple guage Pod with 52MM innovation MTX-3852 Oil Temp/ Pressure, Digital Wideband AFR, MTX-3851 Boost guage. My clutch was slipping when i got the car so i decided to go with the ACT ZX6-XTSS street grip clutch and the ACT Lightned flywheel and a Sakebomb Clutch cable. As for now the car came with a PFC but i plan on swapping it out for a Adaptronic setup so i can run E85 next year.
I want to thank Ihor and his team they really did a excellant job with the car and i couldnt be more happier, they answered all my question and during my build were always gave me updates on how things were going! The motor is breaking in right now and upon completion Ihor is going to set the boost to 20 PSI and I Hope to get it on the dyno soon to see what numbers it produces.
I will upload some more pictures of everything else and im sure there might be a thing or 2 that ill have to add to this thread.

I wish I was driving!
Its refreshing to read about such high satisfaction and complete communication throughout the build process from a builder. Makes impressive numbers as well.
I am curious about the colouring of the parts on the front stack (counterweight, oil driven gear, oil pump). Is it funky flash photography, or is the blotching the result of a chemical cleaning process?
