I'm replacing the auto tranny in a Honda Accord and deciding if I'm swapping out my broke gsl-se 13b for a 2nd gen 13b or rebuilding.

Diff, dyno and spray. Gotta get the wideband working too. Actually, I've mostly been working on wiring someone else's car.

What's new since my last post:



Submitted rotor housings for machining and sleeve insertion

Assembled dual throttles



I'm using two protege throttle bodies, one for each rotor. I know it seems complicated but everyone said that about putting a TII LIM on a 6 Port block.

Will this thing run this year Colin?





For those in the area, come by Speedorama London this weekend. Got a little somethin, somethin.

Motor and turbo is in car . Still have lots to do and barely any time.

**** I wish you called me man. I would have dropped by no doubt!



I keep working trying to get ahead but I don't know. I have debt to take care of before the RX7 hits the road again, but keep in mind I have all the parts I need to drive the car, less the engine hard/soft seal kit to put it back together. I'm not buying the seal kit before my bills are lifted. But I have everything else!



So I guess squaring up my debt is technically progress on the car, but it's harder to gauge than just buying parts piece by piece to build a peripheral port. I like working on the car without spending money, but I can only go so far before I need the seals!
