Hi guys

She's someone else's unfinished project. Got a lot of problems to work through but IL explain in the technical help section.
+it's a complete rx7 motor swop single turbo
+She's been ported to stage 3. street port
+3mm racing apex seals
+T4 knock of turbo [replacing with 750hp precision turbo]
+spitstronic fuel management system
+new electronic fuel pump to feed larger injectors
+standard gearbox
+new Mazda b150 bakkie clutch pressure plate and release bearing the springs are tighter fit. Works perfect more bite
+standard 6 speed box
+75mm straight through pipe with 2 boxes at the back

My plans
Bigger turbo
Definitely needs tuning
New down pipe as it's leaking
Reposition of turbo
50mm BOV
New set up on turbo and intercooler pipes. [looks a bit odd as it's done at the moment ] plus has a vacuum leak somewhere in system

That's all I remember for now
Thanks
​​​​
