So you are driving the current stock setup ? I thought you had rebuilt the RE and had it in NA form.

NAs are still fun ...

 

I love digikey ive ordered so much stuff from there and always get it next day im ordering Mil-spec connectors and making a 2 piece harness just so i dont have to Pull the harness through the firewall and maybe some Proper Wire loom to wrap it all in \\cars looking good man

 

Yeah 6port... Stock everything, buy I have the TII driveline installed, so it's just a simple drop the re in and start fabbing!

Here is the page with what you need:

Well the Exhaust has been ported, the intake has been polished!

Didn't change the intake timing at all, just opened up the exhaust a touch, I am hoping this will make the turbo spool like the stock one once did.

Here's a few pics:











I'll spend a little more time cleaning them up, but it's going to get dirty again as soon as I fire it up, so it's not going to be a like a mirror.

 

That's some high-tech housing you got there - complete with an internal rinse cycle...whew!

 

Haven't updated this in a long while, nothing new to report, other than adding a 929 Master and Booster, and the 626/Mx6 Front lip.

Here are some recent pictures:

 

Dayumm , car looks fantastic ! ,nice simple mods !

 

Hey Nismo_Convert86, what size tires are you running? Did you roll the fenders? Are you using spacers? Do you have any rubbing issues ( like when you turn in a driveway?) And your car is lowered a bit, right?

 

I would love to see your car in Black with Ghost flames or something. Black car, black tint, black tires and rims. It'll be a stealth shadow...a mirage. They won't see you coming; But they will HEAR you.

 

John, I'm running 225 45 17 tires up front, they did rub, so i rolled the fenders, in the rear I have 255 40 17, no need to roll those fenders at all, I am not using spacers at all.

Black is nice, but not my style, I don't think they will hear me until my wastegate opens, when it does you can hear me coming like 20 miles away lol!

 

bump this up,

Any updates over 2011 , or atleast pictures ?

 

Nope, no updates, just drove it; bought a new house with a 32x36 shop, and have a baby girl on the way so not much progress, should be pulling the engine this year, and getting the RE built, but who knows, what time, and money will allow, but it will get done.

 

Congratulations on the new one on the way !,

 

If you want more response from an upgraded turbo, port the exhaust down about 3MM. Make the bottom of the port a bit roundish to open a little more gradually which will cut down on the noise a little. This cuts more into the blowdown phase of the exhaust stroke and will make a major difference in exhaust energy hitting the turbine.

 

sounds like the pineapple EP2a

 

I was actually referencing Racing Beat, whom did it some 30 years before Pineapple. But yeah, basically same result.

 

So after 3 years of putting it off, and the safe arrival of our daughter, I have had time to tear into the car a bit...

 

Ahhh you removed the engine without me? I was all ready to drink some beers and get to work.

 

Its about time!

 

I only have so much time, Got the intakes off tonight to get the wiring harness off, should be ready for you to pick up Monday.

Lol I know I know, but progress is progress!

 

Photo update...

 

No photos, but I have the rad mounted, the haltech placed in there, it needs to be tidied up, then the Intercooler needs to be fitted, then the ducting.... Oh crap, I have lots to do, should have the rebuild kit ordered next month, then start saving for the Goopy seals, and housing refinishing. Planning on having the engine built by Fall for real this year.

You should have stopped by Sunday, I would have made it Saturday, but I was at my wifes grandfathers funeral.

 

Gigitty! Parts have arrived! Just need to send out the housings to goopy, and get their apex seals, then it's build time! With the engine built it should really modulate me to get my *** in gear, my wife and I are planning to make DGRR 14.

 

Is that new oil control rings I see in those square boxes. NICE.

 

Yes sir 400 bones right there booo
