installing t51r "pics"

Here are some pics of my car. I about done installing the turbo just have to make a dp and hook up all vacuum hoses. I ordered a blitz fmic should be installing it within the next week. My mods are stage 3 ported motor by Jason at rx7store, mp, trust catback, fuel pump, fuel reg, 850cc primaries, 1300 secondaries, fluidline rad, profec b spec 2, act street/strip clutch. Cant wait to be done and see what she will do. I know lag lag lag its not that important to me but if it is to bad I will just shoot some nitrous through her. Oh and buy the way it a 94 silver r2. I got it completely stock. Just got bit by the bug and started moding and of corse blew it up. So new motor and all the goodies got to go in. I have done all the work my self and for the first time I gess we will se how bad I get flamed. I took the motor out and put it in. When I got in the motor the clutch wouldn’t work so I had to drop the transmission. Oh and by the way I just turned 18. Here come the flames.....

yes i have a pfc

You think so. What kind of boost do you guys think I should tune for? I am going to have mc racing do a little tune to were I can drive it then I will have Steve Kahn tune it in the spring or when I get time to drive to Texas. What kind of hp do you think I will be able to make? I have a question can I have them tune for race fuel for high boost setting on profec and 93 on low boost setting. I have no clue on the tuning aspect.

that turbo needs to run 20 or higher.....only reason for a turbo that big. anything under 20 and you will get beat by a smaller turbo.

Someone was selling t51r kai and manifold on ebay for $2222 plush shipping? Was wondering if you bought that one?

that's a really good price then. And I think you're gonna need some more fuel for that sucka too... I would go with 1600's in the secondaries which means you have to get a new rail too. I'm 18 too! Represent! I can barely even afford single turboing my car right now... err not really afford it at all but I'm still doing it

You're going to want to push that bitch past 20 psi before she'll even be happy. I see a lot of race gas and bigger fuel injectors in your future!

You should have Jason tune the car for you. Rx7store can get the job done.

Did you happen to check and see if a engine ever blew up on that turbo? Hopefully there isnt a reason that you got such a good deal.

Looks good,
Stephen

That's a big turbo and you will have to run high boost on it.You should put bigger secondaries like 1600cc the primaries you have on 850cc are cool.You will have a lot of lag but like you said that isn't a factor since your going to run nitrous.

I have a after market fuel rail for the primaries that i dont have installed. I would sell it or trade if for aftermarket secondarie fuel rail. the turbo was not on a blown motor. I would love for jason to tune my car but how in the hell am i gonna get it up there that damn far. It would be like a 18 hr drive. 5 hr to steve kahn. How high of boost can i run with out going to larger injectors and race gas. This isnt my daily driver but i do drive it alot on the weekends. Race gas would burn a big hole in the pocket.
