Have you seen any change in temps with the different hood?

 

Thanks Na that is my mates GTR.

Nothing significant - if any at all, I want to start racing my car a bit more so I only got it mainly for weight reduction.

Yeah stock bonnet looks better, like I said only got fiberglass one for weight reduction - took a while for it to grow on me as well have still got stock one in shed though

 

 

nice addition to the rear. love the wing

 

That wing is ******* awesome. I want one.

 

Also, what is a 13BEP?

 

EP = Extend port

 

Some pics from other week, killed the motor at this event though

 

that actually looks pretty good dude. sorry to hear about the motor though. What do you have planned or it now?

 

That car looks very good. I think the rear bumper is growing on me too.

 

Thanks guys, no immediate plans just have to pull it out and strip it down to see whats damaged then see where we stand.

 

hey crazyboosta, whats your car sitting on?? what kind of suspension you got??

 

He has Buddy clubs under there.

Ah i wish i could help you with the rebuild and buy your wheels

Time for the car to go on a diet though
Hope you get it back on the track soon.

Cheers
Dean

 

Yeah Buddy Club Racing Spec coil overs, whiteline adjustable sway bars and energy suspension bushing kit.

Thanks mate just need to get some funds happening but she will come back bigger and better, just dont tell my wife how much its costing lol

 

lolz haha keeping secret rx7 price projects away from the wife haha... working and spending on our rx7s are like cheating on our wives and girl friends ahah

 

Time for a bit of an update, found the cause for the failure - stupid cheap *** wastegate broke and caused a massive overboost. Motor has been stripped down and has had bits sent off for balancing and porting, have stripped the car down ready for half cage. Have removed over 120kg from it so I'm hoping to get it somewhere in the 1100-1150 range when its all back together. Hoping to hit around 300rwkw on E85 so should be a bit of beast then anyway heres some pics of damaged rotor/housing and turbo.

 

wow! thats some carnage!

 

thats pretty ******* epic.

 

Yeah big detonation flat out in 4th gear + 3mm Mazda seals = catastrophic failure. Oh well some more ornaments for the shed lol

 

epic carnage for sure!

 

Holy cow that engine got shredded!!!

While you're redoing the engine, why not get a 3 inch ID downpipe and exhaust? And why skimp on the wastegate, one of the few items from making your engine run safely?

 

Yes is all getting changed as it will be a completely new setup plus car is going to be pure track so no need to worry about trying to make it legalish lol Yeah well wastegate was one of those thing when purchased car only did street duties and it worked fine, just the heat from racing killed it. Still I learnt my lesson.

 

i had the same prob with cheap *** wastegate. motor didnt even have 12000 km on it

 

what was the wastegate mr boosta, ebay spec or other australian spec , but yet again, nice damage thats how you do it right

 

I bought it from a shop here a couple of years ago. The diaphragm just perished from the heat and split.

Anyone in the States got some links to some good online shops for Tial gates and Aeromotive fuel pumps?? As I would prefer to buy from a shop rather than ebay. I have found a Jegs? They seem to have good prices for Aeromotive stuff but dont stock Tial gear.
