FD photoshoot when the weather was nice!
This is a customers car I built the engine for in the summer, just finally got the pics from my buddy who took the pics.
Figured I'd post 'em here too since he's a local guy. Very cool guy to deal with, he's really happy with the way it turned out....after a such a long wait.
1993 FD
99,000 kms on chassis
2,500 kms on fresh engine
Custom streetport
Apexi RX-6 single turbo kit
Apexi externally vented wastegate (loudest thing on the planet)
Greddy Front mount Intercooler kit
old skool Haltech E6K
Tuned by Ivan (our tuning, wiring guru and RX-7 lover)
Defi Blue racer gauges
Fresh paint by Joe from Classic Autobody
The car makes roughly 425-450 whp, pretty fun stuff!
Enjoy!

We street tuned it up to 18psi on 91 octane, it would blaze the tires into 4th gear but turned the boost down to 12psi for the customer. Scary enough at 12psi for the street.
425whp is an educated guess comparing it to other rotary cars I've driven. So no...it was not dyno'ed. Possibly next summer we will convince him to run it at a dyno.

very nice car. must put down the power nicely...the RX-6 is a nicely sized turbo for the street, IMO...not cheap though!
not too many people running 400whp+ on those turbos on pump fuel, but who knows. looks like a great build!

550cc primaries and 1680cc secondaries flow tested before install
I'd have to ask Ivan our tuner if he remembers the duty cycle, but I think we were almost out of injector....
