1987 Turbo 2

Hey Guys,

Well, I'm a new rotary owner! Just picked up an '87 model Turbo II.

This car is a former track car, so I'm going to keep it that way. With that in mind, the car needs quite a bit of work. It does have some nice mods, which I will list below plus a link to photobucket.

Currently, the car does run. But, I need to get a tune on it; it starts & idles, but with as much mods on the car, I want to get it checked out and looked at since I'm new at this rotary thing.

I'll be needing some recommendations on brake upgrades. If you take a look at the mods, you can see it's had some money put into it, but you can also tell by the pics, the car needs some TLC. The turbo is new and so is the Mircotech LT10C. The car has potential...

So, for those who do know the turbo cars, your input is welcome!

MODS:
13bt Street ported and rebuilt by Brian Cain of BDC Motorsports w/ ~8000mi on the engine- full rebuild w/ all new seals, hard and soft....cryogenically treated side and apex seals, new bearings, 3rd gen corner seals, RX-8 oil pressure regulator, new everything else. Intake runners and ports expanded and mirror polished. Emissions removed.

Thanks Marc,

Will do!

We're sorting the wiring today and will then bolt on the FMIC. The FMIC kit has plenty of hoses/couplers, but we're going to tig weld it instead. I'll be posting pics of it up as we move forward.
