My FD Resurrection
Ok, so after 11 months of neglect, I have finally decided to bring my FD back to life.
the car will be getting an all new set-up with the focus on more useable mower and more power in general.

there will be lots of pics following. heres a few just to get started.

this is the setup from 2006 before the autronic SM2 and CDI ignition

next came engine porting and building. I decided on a large half bridge again. I have had bridgeported turbo FD's in the past and I LOVE the sound, power and response. IMO its what porting tools were made for. my last setup made over 600 on a mild street port, but I missed the bridge, so we're gonna try that again.

the entire rotating assy west sent to roger manderville for balancing after bearing clearances were done.

I'm also gonna be trading in my GT42RS for a BW S475 and running E85.

I'll be running 6x1600cc injectors, which should be good for 750whp

Man i don't see how you can have such a nice fd and let it sit for 11 months. You guys have an awesome crew and i love to see how your car is gonna perform.

I've had my car for 6 months and its driving me crazy that its not running. Good luck again, hope to see it in action soon.

intake manifold & TB with o rings, TPS sensor, intake mani gasket, and all new hardware is $1350 standard and $1400 semi perif. its a direct bolt on and doesn't require any shortening of the manifold like others on the market do.

thanks for all the compliments guys
