Talking 88 GXL Turbo Build

Hello to all the RX7 enthusiasts, its been a long time since I dropped by the forum and posted, Today I took some time to share with all of you my build......

Car: '88 GXL , Engine: S5 TII Semi Pport w/4340 Studs , Tranny: Ford C4 A/t w/TransBrake , Diff: S5 TII , Turbo: BW S480 1.10a/r T6

This Pics are from when I bought the car as a roller.


This is when I was going thru the hole wiring removing what I wasn't going to use


Back Together

Thanks, I got $1300 into it. The turbine wheel was changed along with the housing for better spooling the turbo, had to go this route due to the A/T.
