Sorry to copy off you, but I blame you making me want it

 

My watermelon shooter never gets any love

 

^ You need a 4" Titanium exhaust for that bridge port

All good man, we gotta get some sound clip of us rolling together

 

Started rebuilding my 12A. My goal is to have my car ready to drive to DGRR 15. 😎

 

I think me and don are doing the east coast rotary classic June 6.

 

Drive or trailer?

 

Probably drive 1 and trailer 1. Just in case.

 

Are you running it with a straight midpipe?

 

I'd love to get a decent car trailer. Maybe this year. Take this car back to the mountains...maybe desert southwest. Then I'd be tempted to crash a Chicago area meet and put some (user) names and faces together.

 

soon i'll be installing a greddy 20g turbo kit on my t2 and hopefully a greddy front mount. also have to do something with the exhaust on the car

 

izzy, look what showed up.




It's idling like poo because it has 720s in, but the rtek isn't installed. That will be my first task. It had to snow the day it arrives

 

Welcome to the fc world, Adam

 

Now I just need an FB

 

i need a fd now, i have 2 fc's and the turbo fb in my stable

 

Desoldering these chips and jumper off for an rtek install is a pain in the butt. Got one chip off and one to go.

 

What's the plan for the FC Adam?

 

Racecar! The FD is too precious and expensive to track IMO. This Fc cost me as much as an OK miata and it's NOT a miata. Parts cost about what miata parts cost and again it's NOT a miata

After installing the rtek myself and feeling like a baws, I pulled it in the garage to begin emissions delete and inspect everything. She had been idling and all of a sudden I hear a really loud clicking somewhere under the IC and then it died.

I pulled the UIM (way more involved then in the FD) and pulled the injectors. I'll be sending them out to witch hunter for cleaning and testing. I'm going to keep the thermowax, double throttles and BAC. But kill off the airp pump, split pipe, AWS, and egr.

This has a very clean engine with supposedly 2k on it and built by Karak. It's very exciting to have a second 7 in the house and I gotta say, I'm far less scared to work on the FC then the FD.


Look how clean the UIM was:



Several of my injector clips were cracked as are many electrical clips. I'll probably be splicing in new ones this winter. Suggestions on the best method? I was thinking but splices with sealed heat shrink.

Adam

 

soldering with heat shrink is the best method imo. Adam, what turbo do you plan on running on the fc?

 

Jim,

We need to talk trailers. I too would like trailer access a couple times a year. Perhaps we can combine resources for something a little nicer.

Rick

 

^Not until I get a ride in the Judge.

 

I think that can be arranged. I am looking forward to bringing it out in the spring. I have a block at the machine shop for it now. It should be ready to install around May.

We should meet up to just hang out and BS. Maybe down at Mantown.

 

Anytime. I'll be working on the '52 this month. Changing out steering gear and column. I'll give you a call. The refrigerator is stocked.

 

Greetings fellas,

Looking for someone that can assist me with my Turbo FB. i just moved back here from Orlando, and my car is running like crap. EMS is a Microtech 10LT-S....any assistance would be great appreciated or pointing me in the direction of a reputable shop as well.

Carlitos

 

Hey carlitos,

I also have a turbo fb, how did you turbo it? T2 swap or turbo the 13b or 12a?

 

I did a complete 91 TII swap into the gslse. I remember seeing my very first turbo gslse in Japan, and i had to have this conversion. All the work was completed and tuned by Kilo Racing in Orlando.
