new everything

So I finally brought my engine home and started bolting stuff on. Fresh streetported rebuild, 35r kit, spec stage 3 and ultimate fuel system from rx7store, aluminum flywheel from mazda trix, used re small v-mount. For what I want to do with the car I want quick quick spool above anything else, I hope the .82 T4 version of the 35r along with the porting will give me just that. Its been awhile getting everything together and im happy to finally see some progress towards getting my car out to the track.






just to see how far forward the turbo sat, still alot left to hook up. Yeah that coolant fill cap is

still have quite a few thing to finish, get some spacers so the top feed injectors fit properly (should these have came with my kit from rx7store?), make the fuel lines, bolt on the rest of the accesories, plumb the turbo lines, remove the rest of the sequential lines, cap stuff off and misc crap. Get some bolts that actually fit for the turbo.

Lookin' good, lots of nice shiny new parts . I think you'll be more than happy with the spool

I have a spare set of brand new injector spacers for the kgparts rail I can send you if you can wait until next weekend.

Yeah, I guess they must have been left out of the kit I purchased from you?- the ultimate kit with both rails and stuff. Think you can send a set out my way? And the fpr that came with the kit has no gauge, is that normal?

Hey, my Ultimate Fuel kit came with the gauge for the FPR and I had injector clips also. Nice setup btw. I have the XSPower manifold as well. Good luck and I'm sure you'll be happy with the spool.

nah, its gonna be re-routed. Im a fan of open gated cars if they spool late but ones that will hit full boost very quickly and very often open dump is just too much.
