don't get me wrong, turbos are cool... but most the people I have talked to about road racing prefer a powerful NA, if you watch those best motoring videos they say NA is more fun
i loved my N/A but it was SLOW..............

I should have pics downloaded tomorrow when I get to work...
I just pulled the fiero out of the garage (first time in like 2 years?) cleaned up and pushed the rx-7 in to finish up everything, have to install the aluminum radiator and intakes, new fuel filter and lines, figure out the vacuum line elimination, install header etc.
vosko: I've seen some really clean turbo setups, theres a guy on evilforum that has an amazingly clean engine bay with no bullshit on his red FC, but my NA will not have PS, AC, or emissions junk... but since I'm still using the stock ECU for now I will still have the AFM and some junk, but it's minimal.... it also has an electric fan, the engine looks lonely in the engine bay. Maybe it needs a turbo to keep it's company :smirk:
pulling the fiero out and seeing it in the sunlight reminded me of how mean it looks with those 17x8 konig villains on A520's w/12" rotors :yum: I really have to finish that car.
cheers all, break time over.

pics!
I was so happy to get it in
the rest are here.
note that the LIM is unfinished in the pics, I still have to hit it with the flapper and some hand sanding... It's looking good though... I should have taken more but I was freezin my *** off and pressed for time. Will take more later.
All I'm waiting on now is new diffusers from mazdatrix for the primary injectors, I have to mount the aluminum radiator and electric fan (some fabrication), and install the PC680 battery (relocating it to behind passenger seat). I've already cranked her a bit to get some oil through the passages and on the bearings, with fuel pump disabled.... compression swooshes sound really good even with the full RB exhaust on.

is that a aluminum water neck?...who sells that..i was going to make one please PM me with a web site, phone #
I have another S4 aluminum one if you want it, email me.
I think they might be bound to the water pump housing though, so you might have to get the S4 housing to run the S4 neck...
