Word up... Well maybe with my commission check I get next month I'll go ****** up a turbo FB... Doubt it... I need to build my FD to beat you guys...

 

If i drop an FD motor in the hatch space of my gsl se, is that close enough for the fb turbo crew, Dave?

 

well you know im in with my 20B Turbo FB. see you at apple blossom!

 

Well, I'm collecting bits and pieces for mine. Won't be done by Apple Blossom, unfortunately, but next year for sure.

 

Tim, just remember that you will always be heavier than me! haha

Jenkin, If you can keep up with me from 40-100 then you are in.

2000, look forward to a race. What kind of numbers are you putting down with that beast?

Percent. You can make it! It only took me 2.5 years to get mine running right. Why can't you do it in 4 months. j/k Turbo FB's are work, and they take time and $$. Just ask Adrian. If you need some help let me know.

I would also like to open it up to any "unique" FB's. If some one has a 3 rotor, 4 rotor, turbo, supercharged or nitrous rx7 hit me up. I am looking for 10-15 cars. I think that we have around 8 right now.

 

Ya, Mine is actually back on the road as of a couple weeks ago. I havent driven it much but I want to sell as soon as i can get someone interested. im not planning on going to ABF but if you wanted some video then mabe we could meet up at some point.

Sounds good. Maybe we can get something over here first as soon as the weather clears up.

 

If anyone wants to build a turbo FB I am for hire. The only reason mine is gone is because it spun a bearing and my new buiding owner doesn't let you even change your oil in the parking lot and my old owner let me rebuild in my spot, so I have all the knowlege and skil and desire to build another one, just hit me up if you need help.

I appreciate it, thanks.

I'm hoping it won't take me that long, my initial build is a lot less extensive than yours. Basically just slapping an S5 turbo on a ported old-school 13B, fabbing up some brackets for a cheap eBay intercooler, and running it blow-through with a Weber 48 DCOE. Not that it's going to be a cakewalk anyway, and I've still got a lot of parts to buy and not a whole lot of money to do it with.

 

Carbs make the swap a lot quicker. It seems that it took me 6 months to slap in a turbo motor and 2 years to get the wiring right.

 

Turbo FB store is still open.

i wanna get some of that stuff but i dont have a turbo fb yet

 

Sweet a DOG SHIRT!!! lol

 

You don't need a turbo FB to get a shirt...

 

Correct, but I don't have a dog =(

 

That's right, I have one, the store is open to everyone and anyone - apparently even dogs

 

Ya that might work. We should try and line something up. I think I gave you my number to call at one point, I am still having trouble getting my PM stuff on here to work due to a serious back log of messages...
They used to allow you to have like 900 or something, now you can only have 500. i am still sorting them all. Sometimes PM;s can get to me and other times not. Any ways, next time i see you we will line it up.

As of Wednesday car now has downed motor. water seals have been bad for two years and finally went out with the cold weather. high comp + boost = blown water seals. didnt overheat motor though. my daily out-of-the-block running water temp was between 140 and 160 degrees F. Dont know if im going to rebuild yet. Set up was fun to do and quick as hell for a stock port 12a!

 

Sorry to hear about your motor projekt. If you get it running before may bring her on out.

 

Rotortuner, that was on my old phone. Would you mind PM'ing me your email address?

 

Thanks Z. yeah i pulled the engine out and plan to rebuild it. im going to be getting rid of my fb as a rolling chassis because i have too many vehicles right now and it is my only one not running. i will have it posted in the for sale in a day or two. dont want to but need to. i will get another fb in about a year.
