Got the car running.
Natural Sound finished up installing the sound system and interior. Couple weeks ago we took it to Marken to break the motor in on the dyno. Had a few small issues but was a great success. We took it back to Marken and finished tuning and got some numbers. 464WHP and 371ft/lbs 91 octane pump fuel 15psi of boost That was all we wanted to accomplish, break 450whp on the wastegate on pump fuel. Attachment 715664 Tucking 20" rims! Only FD I've ever seen that can do that. Attachment 715665 Attachment 715666 Attachment 715667 Attachment 715668 Attachment 715669 600whp here we come |
^ thats the latest update since this past weekend.
The body shop has some panels polish and fit (sideskirts) and we also have some cold start tuning left. Other than that, in the spring I hope the owner will bring the car back to us to raise the boost and try some 110 octane. I want to see 600whp out of this yet. Not too bad....for a showcar! |
Holy shit!!!
thats sweet that your building it basicly in your garage... amazing.. looks superb... how long have you been going at this project...? I like the color combo, and the Rx-7 on the front middle lip part... the rear looks awesome too... the tail lights mold in perfectly.... very very sweet car... so there is what 3-4 of these fortune kits now on cars in Canada... very nice car sir J. |

Thanks for the great comments Prodigy, I've been working on it for my customer for almost 2 years now.

Man that is a ton of work in that car. Just looking at the wiring gave me a cold sweat. I do not have the patience for that.
|
Great work!
|
I can appreciate the hard work that went into that, but it's not my cup of tea.
