Just so happened there were some nice imports coming in at the same time I was. Didn't even plan this.
Attachment 618736 And a nice Ferrari 550 in front of a sea of fine cars. Attachment 618737 Yes.. All I see are shades of yellow now lol |
So much Yellow :D
I really think John Renna is the best tuner to have his hands on my FDs over the years, period. And that's saying something, because some pretty damn good dudes have tapped on their keyboards riding shotty as I blasted down many highways from TX to NJ :lol: Did Dan show up in Clunkers? |

Blueberry farms was there. :) I was completely at ease with Johns tuning and methods. You guys give me some renewed confidence that the motor could be here to stay. The parts of the tune we worked on made the drive back home much smoother. It makes me inpatient to get the water inj and LIM installed so we can get the rest of the tune sorted out. With the holidays almost upon us I just have to wait. Lots of NSX's. One of the NSX owners said they were unveiling of the new NSX at an Acura dealer nearby and they were headed over together to see the 2017 model. The RX-7 received a lot of positive comments at the cars and coffee. Chalk it up to a great day all around. |
Looks good Mike. Thanks for posting pics of the antenna install.

Great looking car.

Ok I'm back to work on the car. While funds are limited around the holidays I did manage to eek out a much needed K&N filter for my GT35r turbo.
There isnt much room with the M2 large stock mount Intercooler. So I just have to go with what will fit. A screen is a last resort. As you can see I only have about 2 1/2 inches to the corner of the Intercooler from the face of the turbo. There are even some radiator hoses that are close. I will just have to pinch that a little. I should probably make some chaffing protection for that hose so the filter doesn't wear a hole into the hose. Attachment 618565 Going with this short filter. Just ordered it so let's see how it fits when it gets here on the 24th. K&N RX-4130-1 Universal X-Stream Clamp-On, Universal Air Filters Attachment 618566 Attachment 618567 I seriously lacking any under the hood pics.. Here is a real crappy one for now. Attachment 618568 |
I will be interested to see how that filter does, my first reaction is that it will not have enough surface area is not enough.
Where are you tapped in for your oil feed? |

Where are you tapped in for your oil feed? As far as the oil feed to the turbo; I haven't traced it to see. If I remember I will have a look and let you know. |
I wonder if you could run a 45 or 90 off the turbo and put the filter next to your intercooler. Looks like there is enough room for that.
I had a filter a bit bigger than that on my turbo and when I swapped it for a larger turbo I actually saw more power on the dyno. |

There is a lot of info in this thread about different filter sizes and a few of the solutions people are using. It's how I came across this filter. https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo...filter-722123/ |
Check the "performance parts" section at your local PepBoys. The one next to me has been stocking 4" aluminum piping with bends as well as the corresponding silicone couplers. You may be able to put something together for not much time or effort.

Looking for a 3 bar map sensor and I found the Apexi 3 bar map for the power FC at a stupid low price tonight.
$136 plus 7 shipping. Looks like Christmas came early. I've never seen them this price. APEXi 499-X001 Power FC Accessories 3Bar MAP Sensor |

Good looking car and nice pics!

Weird seeing the right side oil cooler opening naked :bubrub:
|
So the air filter did not fit directly on the turbo. There are hardlines for the A/C just under the turbo that are in the way along with the radiator hose.
So plan B is to get a 45degree coupler or just look for an offset coupler or pipe to get next to the intercooler instead of trying to squeeze this tiny filter in that tiny space. |
