Yeah man me and Albert took time... and then albert got the idea that if he adds stickers to his car it will give him more HP since he has no chance at our cars right now! so its a learning lesson on both sides here!:lol:

Manifold is dropped of and getting fixed, will be done super fast, but will not have time to go install till the weekend.

It's all coming together quickly, keep talking haha. I'll probably be done before you.

Me keep talking, your the one talking all this smack talk! That your going to be the fastest FD in nyc... and that you got magic in the car! I still don't see a turbo or anything, for all we know your just going with stock twins again :lol:

Haha I never said anything about the fastest in NYC, just faster than you. I'll leave fastest in NYC to the drag guys.

You said you can beat roan going in reverse on your twins!:lol:

Well you know what, we will have to get Chuch to set up a bbq and get some races going down! Seeing as you barely beat mobeoner last time... get through him and then we can line it up. lol. first you stole my hood then the fenders I am getting and the wing... now your probably going to run the same turbo I got too. :smoker:

I just spoke to Chuch and he says only fast red FDs are allowed down the strip so I believe that excludes you two colored Cars. Plus by the time both y'all turbos spool up I'll be half down the block ;)

Another one talkin smack here! last I remember you ran Albert and he beat you! and the one time me and you raced I beat you to... your at the back of the pack here! right behind Albert of course!

nice work

thanks man... hoping it will come together real soon and be ready for.... winter :scratch: oh the joys of NY

While the manifold is being worked I ordered some turbo bolts online... could not find these guys in any store... I had to use a longer screw with washers to hold them in place... So I only needed 4 but I got 25... just in case!

Also another goodie I got but have yet to install are these fresh new NRG hood dampers made for carbon fiber hoods! cannot wait to get these suckers on.

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...209_193122.jpg


Everything back in and ready to get started! took longer than expected but I changed all the nuts on the turbo and painted the turbonetics logo red!

And after a dead first pull since my battery was dead... connected it to another rx7 and....

After playing with the FPR and the Idle she is Idling like a champ! any worries I had about the motor being shot seamed to fade away. (but still should do a compression test)
http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...209_184410.jpg


She even went for a small ride around the block but taken it easy with no boost since its not all configured yet!
http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...209_185954.jpg


SOOOOO after all this I am happy as hell she is finally up and running... but There are always some glitches, and another popped up! A oil leak from the block where my feed it coming from! and hoping the smoke on the manifold is still from the oil all over the place and that I do not have leak on there too... but ITS ALIVEEEE!!!!!!

Congrats fiz!

I'm not afraid one bit haha.

Thanks a lot man... still got a few kinks, but its getting there... oh and by the way the vids you posted on FB of the dyno was sick, hope it ran some good numbers.

Albert, you know what... as far as we know you have no plans of doing anything with your car, and at the party you were just talking smack.... hahahahah, lets see a pic of a turbo :lol:

DAMN!!! I am pretty pissed off that I couldn't join the shit talk at the party, I was too busy throwing up out side in the park. NO MORE tequila for me EVER!!!
I started drinking @ 9 and throwing up at 11... EPIC FAIL!!!!

^:lol:


John

yeah man epic fail and a half! I finally after 10 years of knowing you get you to come to one of my party's and you puke your brains out! :puke: AND that is after you opened a challenge with my brother! haha :facepalm3:

But yeah you missed the shit talking... well, At least Tom has a receipt for his turbo unlike someone else! :nod:

Thanks again for the invite! We had a lot of fun! :D

this build up look great!

thanks a lot guys! hope to be all done soon so can tidy up over the winter!

been lazy with the car now that its getting cold! I have not yet fixed the oil leak and my battery died again. =(

Took a shot from the back, happy my interior is almost all there.
http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...215_164442.jpg


and no more bed sheet to cover my stuff in the trunk. finally got a cover, but a boss one, but better than a bed sheet.

Nice build man, the car's changed a lot since you first bought it. I'm curious about your choice of an FMIC over one mounted on top, was there a specific reason for that or did you like the look better?

Thanks a lot man. well I went with a FMIC for a few reasons!
1- I got a great deal on the set up so I could not pass it down.
2- Yeah it does look cooler so I did want a FMIC instead of a V-mount or stock mount.
3- I have seen vmounts sake up so much space that its hard to get much air into the turbo and I know I got a big one so It needs some air! And yes the front mount does take up the whole front, but I have room for air intake passages to get there.
4- V-mounts are not usually a bolt (unless they are the expensive ones) on and I did not want to have that much more work!

after the holidays fize will get on the good foot and finish it off. He just keeps eating all the christmas tree candy decorations gets sugar crash and stays home like a bum.

got me some goodies for christmas for the car! Going to hopefully shoot some sick vids with this thing!
http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...4_223711-1.jpg

Also got a rotary oil cap and a coolant non spill filler so I can burp out my system!
http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...225_105559.jpg

took the day off today to get the car issues wrapped up! hopefully I properly fixed my oil leak and will now be sealed properly! Was not able to get the car out though because of the crappy weather today and the face that someones car was blocking me in in the garage! but its ok. because new years is coming and I will have some time to get it outside, check the leak and properly burp out the coolant system!

Car is dirty as hell from being in the garage under the knife for so long, so it might not have been a bad idea to have taken it out in the rain today!
http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...227_163048.jpg

car was out a little for the street tune! still do not have some stuff connected so was just getting stuff set up! need to install the wide-band so can accurately tune! I just so badly wanted to push it just a little bit!

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...102_174306.jpg

Also, my optima battery seams to be on the frits! not sure what to do now =( not sure if warranty will cover it or not!

Haha, that's an awesome oil cap. Where did you get it from?

nice oil cap

Thanks guys, I got it as a gift and they got it off amazon, but this is the site that makes em, they also make the same design for the brake fluid and stuff. http://www.rotary13b1.com/

It is a little larger than I expected and I might need to take off the cross bar to get it on! so I need to see how this will work out for me!

This is a great build, turned out nicely

wanted to update the thread... no update... just no motivation what so ever... even was considering selling the car off! =(

Stop being a lazy bum and finish that car bro! :lol: like what I said, do what u need to do first and then go back fixing her up, once it gets to spring you should be able to have enough motivation on finishing up the car.

I hope so man... I hope so!:(

U suck thats why... U spend your weekends in bloomingdales instead of working on your shit!!!

^ :lol: at bloomingdales.

yeah well sorry that my daily driver has been borrowed for a month month now by someone! soooo hard to get out to the garage if you got my car!

and sorry, didn't know you can see me in bloomingdales from macy's where you are! :lol:

fmic looks good

thanks man... should look even better if I ever put that 99 spec bumper on the car!

looking to buy a water injection kit... I know there are a few options out there. any one have any good and/or bad experiences?

trying to get back in the spirit here... ordered some more accessories and parts and will be working on the car this weekend. hopefully can get it street tuned and drivable for now!

Who's tuning it for you? U Heard about this new spot Q racing in college point that tunes. I know the guy personally I will tell him to hook u up..

yeah I heard about them too. problem is I heard they already have a blown motor count! so I don't know... lets see what happens! :lol:

Oooooo what's this???? Fiz-e actualy putting work in??? Wow!

http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/957d13a9.jpg

HA HA HA... unless I am just sleeping under there! bwah ha ha

Finally get going to the last steps! recharging my battery and getting a new bung welded for the wideband!

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...324_112909.jpg

And then, only with my luck does this happen... Drive about 20 minutes to my garage to get going on the work. I open the trunk to get the DP and battery out and what do I find! the battery tipped over and both terminals hit the DP and pretty much burned its self out and melted in my trunk. Super lucky nothing cough on fire... Now I need to get a new freaking battery!

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/a...324_132500.jpg

After about almost a hour of trouble shooting and trying to get the car started Mobeoner unflooded the car and we were able to get it started to start to adjust the tune to at least be able to drive it...

Felt good to cruise around a little even though we could not push in.
