Roof wing is for sure in the picture when it comes to what I'm getting next, not sure if I'm just going to make my own or buy one yet.

My buddy just sent me the link to the rolling shots he got from yesterday...

I made the splitters out of some sheet metal I had laying around the house, it's nice scraping them rather than cracking my bumper even more.

You got me, I saw the car in japanese influenced thread and I fell in love. Hood vent will happen when I go vmount, so only a matter of time. You would catch that haha.

Like alot of things, I got bored of it. Needed switch things up a bit.

Sandly, they need to go if I'm going to finish this turbo the way I want to.


But on the bright side...
Night before.

Attachment 717037

Attachment 717038
Still need some sort of intercooler setup, afm, throttle cable, dp, and some other knick knacks.

FC3S1019 10-01-11 02:34 PM

is that a s4 or s5 block? sick fc btw

I fc3SLIDE 10-01-11 03:10 PM

from the way that turbo manifold looks its s4 but i could be mistaken

_Mac_ 10-01-11 07:33 PM

Correcto, everything is s4.

RadioX7 10-01-11 10:14 PM

shit should take you a half a day if you have everything or are you ganna clean it and rebuild it

_Mac_ 10-01-11 10:50 PM

If I had the funds to rebuild it I would. While I'm waiting for my wheels to sell I'll be cleaning everything getting rid of all that gunk and rust. The motor gave me 6 good puffs so I'm hoping everything is okay. Apparently it ran flawlessly before it got pulled so I'm going to by that, crossing fingers!

I finished the UIM and throttle body tonight, I'll post pics later if you guys even care haha.

waldog 10-03-11 08:13 PM

MAC, your shit looks sick man. That's a sexy fc you got. :icon_tup:

RadioX7 10-03-11 09:51 PM

What I usaly do is take out the spare plugs and get a flat head to push the apex seal to feel the spring.......

sharingan 19 10-03-11 10:33 PM

Coming together nicely! I have a feeling your car will have respectable pwr before mine gets pretty, lol.

Video is happening once I finish dropping in my motor and hit the track. Don't worry, I havent forgotten about the full length video.

Can you elaborate? Or just come by and show me when you pick up the other pair of wheels lol.

Haha we'll see we'll see, I do like the vmount setup you put together though. If I get anywhere near 220hp I'll be pretty happy especially since I'm not rebuilding internals or porting. I'm still debating between a high mounted fmic or vmic, I'll see how much I have left over after I have all the necessities.



Got a little done today, after I got out of class I went to go pick up a 2.5" downpipe from WhiteRice_7. After that I had a photoshoot with MazdaFitment.com, should hopefully be seeing the feature with them. Finally got home and did a little work on the turbo.

Of course it got fresh paint as well as the downpipe
Attachment 717042

Ported the rear housing to match

REAmemiya_fan 10-04-11 06:18 AM

Maybe I just can't read or it wasnt included, but is this going to a 4 port or 6 port engine? And what exactly is port matching?

RadioX7 10-04-11 03:44 PM

Can I start a team nuisance in jacksonville? Are there stickers? T shirts?

Hypertek 10-05-11 11:04 PM

create your own its not hard, fun actually.. start locally.
back in 04-07 I had started Limit Break! tho we kinda fell apart but im hoping to bring it back. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8096981_n.jpg

I was thinking about making an rx7 one Rotary Rival

_Mac_ 10-06-11 12:49 AM

Not sure if were ready for another team in another state haha. Only reason we have a Utah team is because we have relatives that are in the team. Bring it back hypertek! Looks like you had something going there.


Stupid s4 manifold flapper thing is getting welded tomorrow, thats all the updates I have for now lol.

REAmemiya_fan 10-06-11 01:16 AM

Thanks for the explanation, and good article too. Love the pics! Being a grammar Nazi (well, sometimes) I did find some typos but overall cool to hear the history on the car and team :P

sharingan 19 10-06-11 01:22 AM

^^^ like the "214/45/17" tires? I wasn't gonna say anything if nobody else did....Cool pics nonetheless.

Mac/Hyper:
Lol, I was joking about the stickers and t-shirts (mainly because I didn't think you had any) lol

Feels like forever since I've updated. Heres a small one:

My motor mounts ripped when pulling the motor so I snagged these for cheap.
Attachment 717045

Then I got around to installing my Walbro that I had sitting around.
Attachment 717046

Also painted the engine bay, waiting to get the T2 motor in so I can start hacking at my na harness.
Attachment 717047


Still need:
-Injector O-Rings
-Turbo to Manifold Gasket
-Intake Mani Gaskets
-FMIC Setup
-Stage 3 Clutch
-Throttle Cable
-S4 FCD
-Boost Gauge
-E-Fans
