Sweet build so far. That turbo looks pretty big, you sure that's going to be responsive enough for drifting?

S5 vert up in SB for $550, if it really just needs a drive shaft this could be a nice deal:

I was thinking the same thing, but that's alli had from a previous build. Should get the job done though.

What's the specs on that turbo? 62-1? Looks like an older Turbonetics turbo 60 series.

It is. It is a t72 q trim with an ar 96. Due to the turbine housing beeing on center it doesn't quite fit. Called turbonetics and that trim style is out dated. So I am updating the turbine wheel and changing it to an 115 divided and no longer on center.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to have a local shop port it, Shipping fees alone would cost more.

I know a couple of people who do great work for porting state side, but for doing the machine work for the oversize studs I only know Mazdatrix and 1200 bucks just seems ridiculous to me.

Ahh. I see. Yeah, you need a machine shop that knows what they are doing with the oversize studs. Good luck!

Nice 3 rotor build there PISTON KILLA. Hey Tyrel you show any news pics of your 3 Rotor on here? I sure hope to get the the FC on the road soon with the built GT35R kit. Sit N Sleep needs to get the machining done.

I don't see any 3 rotor hotness, maybe you confused that 13b-re upper manifold for a 20b one? They do look similar. What kind of machining work are you waiting on to finish your build?

He's referring to my long 3 rotor build in the black fd. No pics until it's finished.

It's so nice to see a good amount of rotary owners in the area! I'm thinking next month may be the perfect time for a local BBQ..What do you all think? I should have my car back in my hands in the next couple of weeks from the bodyshop
