Looking good Sam Hope I get the first ride

 

If your definition of first ride is right after my ride then no doubt!! . Lookin good Sam ...once you break her in lets turn up the boost and see if we can keep Long in our sights

 

Thanks for kind words guys. I just hope this one stays together for a while longer. I think that the boost will stay below 15 for quite a while. Just so ya know Anthony, Long's car will rip both of us a new one easily

 

Long's car has already ripped him a new one i think, lets just hope he can keep it between the white lines! HAAHAHAHAH Everything is lookin good sam I bet its gonna be a monster when she's back!

 

You bet. I've been waiting for over a year to get the 9.4 back together. God, I miss the torque it made.

 

Yesterday was a good day. I got the engine put together and back in the car. Man, this thing runs great. I'll get some pics and video this weekend.

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys, But this is Sam's thread and let me tell you, his
car runs great!! and When it gets broke in it will be a BEAST!! Corey now you just
need to turbo the SA

 

haha nooo I just need to get it runnin!!!!

 

This was a long weekend. I had to pull the engine back out, and tear it back apart. I had an apex seal stick in the down position. There was a little nick beside the apex seal groove on the front rotor. It was like something got sucked through the engine. I never found anything wrong or missing. Damn, I'm glad I went with cryo seals this time. Anywho, Long came by for a little today to help me drop the engine back in.

Fired up the first time . I will get some vids of it running this week. I swear. On a side note, I guess the Vert is sold. The guy is supposed to come pick it up in the morning. I hate to see the Vert go, but it was purchased with the intent to sell.

 

I finally got a friend that wasn't scared to ride with me and take a little video. I have about 400 miles on it now. I am running 12psi of boost till it gets broke in a little more. Sorry for the wait, but here's the vid.

Damn Sam thats worth missing the rally just about
(got my shifter rewelded thank God haha)

but a question
on the SEM painted interior has that held up since I rode in it?
I didn't know if that was best or dyeing the parts...
duplicolor sure isn't...
luckily it held up 1 week just for dgrr but its coming off =X

 

nice sam. so u really can run more boost on n/a rotors than what i thought.

 

Zoom.....

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. The car is actually pulling harder now that I replaced the chewed up hot side wheel on the turbo.Thats the thing about cryoed apex seals, more boost=more power without breaking and chewing up your engine and turbo. BTW, that tire "chirp" was going from 2nd to 3rd

STAY AWAY from the DupliColor CRAP! Their interior "paint" isn't worth a flip. I have used SEM interior dye for years without any problems. The SEM isn't a spraypaint that coats the parts, it actually dyes the part, so there is no flakeing off later.

 

Nice project, good work!

 

Nice man I really want to turbo my 83 rx7!!!!!

 

Thanks. It's all in how much time and money you want to put in it

 

I want to put a lot in my car!!! I just need to get some money first!!

 

I finally got around to putting a TII trans, flywheel, starter, yada yada. Anywho, now that I am not scared to throw some real serious power at the ol' FB, I rebuilt my turbo and went with a smaller hotside. All that I can say is holy sh$t!!!!!!!

Here's a little taste of 12psi

Awesome!

Are you still rocking the rtek and top-mount?

The inspiration of my build .

 

I'm running a R-Tek 1.7 with a front mount intercooler. The top mount was kinda holding me back. Don't get me wrong, it gave me awsome throttle responce, but it was hurting my performance at 12psi and above.

 

Sorry I haven't posted pics of the new front mount.

 

 

After destroying 3 or 4 NA transmissions, I decided to finally break down and put the TII trans in. Some tranny carnage.

 

And seeing as how the wife kept saying that my car was evil, I decided to oblige her





You will bow before the Decepticons!!!!!
