Lol, I had some ATF put into the housings, spun the motor, and poured some more in. I'm not going back to the shop until Monday...this will be the longest weekend of my LIFE!!! this thing better run. Oh, on a lighter side...I got a hold of a T2 rear/dif w/ 4.3 gears that should be a nice touch to all the power I'll be putting through them! I'm shooting for a track time in the low 13s....what ya think?

How much did you pick that up for? Lucky bastard! What kind of performance mods is your car going to have? What exhaust did you get for your car? Stock?

Stock? lol..that word doesn't exist very much on my car. The rear end was actually sitting in a pile of other rear ends that were already at the shop..I love the shop...nothing but RX7 parts EVERYWHERE! The exhaust is in my sig...I went w/ the Racing beat 2.5" Downpipe and presilencer, I've got racing UD pulleys, intake, stock *cough*cough turbo(wont be stock for long, trying to get $$ for a TO4E or TDO6), now the 4.3 rear end, dual friction clutch, turboXS boost controller(which I'm installing next weekend hopefully). For daily driving..I'm only gonna be at about 8psi..but with the controller...I'm hoping to get at least 12psi from the stock turbo. Being that my car was an SE and didn't weigh a lot to begin w/ and I've removed MANY heavy items...my car weighed just over 2500 before this conversion started, and I've removed more weight, but added more, etc...so I'm hoping its still around the 2500 area...I think that should be good enough for a low 13 run..especially w/ the NITTO slicks on my old 14" wheels

You should get into 13s, maybe low 14s. I guess I should have looked at your sig. before I asked what mods you have.

Well, now that I found that cheap FMIC...I'm hoping it will give me the cold boost I need to run consistently in the 13s. My goal is to run 13.7sec.

You can get into low 13's with a FMIC. I've seen people hit high 12's.

Go here and find out what your car will do:



1/4 Mile Calculator



Don't forget to add the weight of your DRIVER to your vehicles weight.



In my area there are truck scales that they leave on when they are closed, making it real nice to weigh your vehicle. The bad thing is they are in incriments of 50 lbs. I'm shooting for 2200 lbs with my car (but I may actually be 200 lbs lighter) with 200 lbs sitting in the drivers seat and 250 hp I should run a 13.1 1/4



If my vehicle is 200 lbs lighter I will be in the 12's (12.7). I've also heard Slicks will give you a 1/2-1 sec in the 1/4 but is really hard on your driveline.



BTW: I think this calculator is pretty close my old Supra Turbo ran a 13.9 1/4 and weighed 3750 lbs + my 200 lbs gives 340 HP, which is about dead on.
