That turbo does look awesome.

 

Good luck!!!

 

Thanks! I can't wait to get some time to build this! !

 

 

I laughed when the housing and rotor threw its bra on the floor.

 

Ha ha that **** was Grrrreat!!!

 

Bump

 

build day!!!!

 

More pics. Sorry if they are repeats

 

Thats the same flywheel you installed on mine! nice! Also Is that the pineapple racing engine mount adapter? I ordered one on the 31st and yet to get it but looking forward to getting my streetported block on the stand.

 

Lookin good Myles!

 

My Pineapple motor adapter thing just came in the mail, now if I only my engine holder that I ordered last month from Harbour frieght would hurry up and get here.. Then I gotta wait for the motor! THE SUSPENSE!

 

Thanks man!!!

 

Yep same flywheel. And yep pineapple adaptor I also have the mazdatrix adaptor and they both work really well!! Suspense! Tell me about it! This has been a long project! And still have a ways to go!

 

Nice! My stand just came in and I assembled it, now just waiting for my motor to come in.....!!! should swap the motor in over night which is what I am trying to do, just gotta order or find the ******* 54mm socket and a tourqe wrench and alot of beer and red bulllllll!

 

Ha ha. Good luck man! Wish I could help

 

Craftsman 2-1/8 in. Socket, 12 pt. - Tool Catalog - Mechanic's Tools - Sockets
That one is way way way cheaper than my snap on socket!!!!

 

Hey....If the weather is nice Friday night, I'll be driving my FD to Savannah to watch a football game. Will there be any cars out after 10pm or so? Where? I'd love to meet some folks. I'm only 1.5 hrs away near Brunswick.

 

Would it be better to order it in a 1/2? ive already broke two 3/4 wrenches on the tranny support bolts...lol. gotta bust out the big guns!

 

3/4 is pretty big...3/8 broken?

 

Ah yeah my mistake, I remember you tried to get it off by hand and ended up using the air tool, so maybe ill throw the engine in my minivan and take it to a shop and have them get it off for me lol.

 

Sorry I have been out of the loop. I recently took command of a Tank Company and we are heading to Afghanistan shortly, so I have not had a lot of time to do anything.

Myles, that build is looking nice!

Dan, I would open that engine from Japan. There have been a lot of issues with those engines. I know Carlos helped the girl who converted her na FC to turbo II ordered an engine from oversee too. It blew for user errors, but I have heard of others having issues too. Also, my tune will be super rich ith the lack of air flow from a non streetported engine. Just some things to think about.

Anyone heard from Ed? How is the 20b doing?

 

Congrats on the tank company and upcoming deployment, that should be fun!

Id like to tear into it but I am going to open my street ported motor up and rebuild that for the next rx7 I buy, I am putting this rx7 together with the jap motor and going to sell it and get into something a bit more reliable. People are rich here so I should be able to pull 15k from this, we will see.

 

My Harbor Frieght has a 20% off coupon in the store for ANY items, I bought a 2 ton engine lift today and tommorow im going to pic up a welder. Good time to buy some bigish ticket items for 20% off which is pretty good. I paid 140$ for the cherry picker.

 

my 85





back when I used to race bikes





and some love for my last FD



Finally getting my garage set up with all the big items and growing my tool collection up, ill post some updated pictures of the garage when I have it all setup and a bunch of the furniture moved out. I still need to get a big air compresser, air tools, welder and a beer tap.
