This car is actually my dads. He bought a 93 with a destroyed engine (blown doesn't cut it for how bad this engine is).
First and foremost I need an engine. The one in it is blown. I should really say destroyed. It is blown to pieces inside not 1 good piece...well maybe the eccentric shaft. I need a good engine - I have a hook up at a Mazda Dealership and can get a factory rebuild for $2K. Anyone else knwo where I can get a good engine? I need a clutch too. I want to add we are keeping the car as stock as possible. The only real mod will be a cat-back. Where can I get a good deal on a clutch?? I have an ACT in my FC and I am happy. I have been told the Centerforce Dual Friction is a good clutch. BTW - We had the twins rebuilt by Majestic Turbo. Like I said Stock. We want to race it in the AutoX in the Super Stock Class and kick some vette ass. Thanks for your help. I am a whiz on FC's the FD's I am not sure where to get things for. |
if your engine is done..... reman is the cheapest way to go....

I'll look into the ACT streep strip. I have that in my FC.
Turbo II - Like Russell said it is a stock class. This is the one place in the SCCA where a Rotary can still rule and not be chocked by stupid restricions made to only slow down the rotary. It is proven a C-5 cannot gain much from a cat-back but the FD will. That is about the only mod allowed. Thats why I am jumping to B- Prepared I tried to run them in A-Street prepared and they have way more horsepower. If I follow the rules I can get maybe 225 RWHP whereas a Z-06 can have upwards of 450rwhp. The funny part is I am only about 2 tenths slower at the end of a 40 second course. In B-prepaered I can run unlimited power against them |
And they against you... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
Yeah ASP really screws 3rd gens. You can do intake and exhaust, but you can't use any sort of boost control? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png I'd rather jump to BP and keep my engine thank you. I've heard Malloy Mazda sells cheap remans, I believe they are on the East coast somewhere? I think they were just below your $2k... probably not enough to justify shipping it... |
Yes the vettes cand vipers can run unlimited horsepower. I am running my FC in B-prepared by the way. After we rebuild it I am expecting more horsepower than I can ever need.
We are street porting it / Extrude honing the intake/ Throttle body mod. / Porting the exhaust manifold / 3" Downpipe-midpipe / Reducing the weight as much as possible. Thanks for the tips fellas. Hopefully you'll see me and my FC in Topeka next year. |

I would say get one from your hookup if you can get a deal. But I don't see 2k as much of a deal. ACT Is a good clutch you'll be fine with that. If your leaving your car mostly stock I think you could slip in the 99 spec turbos under the radar. Or get the BB ones. The officials would never know the difference.

FD3Boost - Like like your WickedWeasel.com girl in your sig.
I think he can get the engine for $1500 or less. We have not talked about it yet. I ordered an engine from Mazda Dismantlers in Cali. And they sent me a siezed engine!! I have been waiting for over a month now for an engine. I am calling tonight to see if it is even close to being delivered if not I am cancelling and ordering the Mazda one. I would get the newer or BB turbo but I just got the OEM ones rebuilt so we will use them for a while. Thanks for the suggestion though I didn't think of that. |

Slava - Good to see you here. I will drop a line next week.

Good Call FD3Boost !!!!!!!!! 99spec turbos you da man.
