going out


going in



engine: s5 n/a with tII housings, big street port, Ported and exrude honed intake,
oil pan baffle, safc tuned and dynoed by rx7.com .

 

Awesome, only in california, lol. I have never seen a repu in person, wagons, rx3's and 4, but never a repu

after paint

 

before any paint

 

Looks great, keep us posted.

 

Congrats on your find More pics

 

Congrats! Looks like its gonna be fun Thats like just the right amount of power for the repu. Any tranny changes? Is that intake available anywhere?

 

keeping the stock repu tranny for now. i will be installing a tII tranny when i get a light weight flywheel, the intake is from bonez

 

I can't tell if it's just the lighting in the pic of the painted engine bay or my monitor- did you stray away from the stock Olympia Blue? One of the other guys (I think Frank) on mazdarepu.com has an S5 engine in his truck as well... an Olympia Blue '74, if I remember correctly.

Looks nice! I love these trucks!

Im thinking about the same thing, TII Housings, Streetport, but my S5 motor will
be carbed with a Dell 48 for the old school look.



And mikewoodkozar go to www.mrcmt.com and you will see 3 or 4 or our repus.

 

i dont know what the factory color its a greenish blue.
the engine bay is metallic green now still thinking about the final color it may be too dark.

 

 

ok so now the engine is in time to mount: T & L coils, ECU , SAFC and a bit of wiring and intsall a msd inline FI pump more pics to come!

 

Looks like its gonna be a blast

 

noice

 

Updates?

 

What a big difference after you paint the engine bay. Very nice. More pics.

 

ive mounted the ecu and the pass side harness, iam cleaning up the drivers side harness before it gets installed. looking for color coded diagram (s5 na)anyone?
iam missing the fuse block for part of the wirring so another trip to pick n pull if i cant find one on here.

 

Looking sweet.Keep the pics coming on your progress.It's good to see another vintage on the road.

 

FSMs can be found here.

Never seen a Dynamic Chamber like that, how did you do it? Looks sharp, along with the engine bay and choice of body color. Unfortunately, restoring my REPU is a ways off but looking at your's gives me hope for 'someday'.

 

You buy that from a racer in santa cruz. I've seen that motor before

 

Great job! That thing is going to be a blast!!!

 

yes i did, a really cool guy even tho he dropped a ls1 in the FC that had this motor.

 

oh man that is sweet bro nice truck

 

man makes me want a REPU even more.
