I think they will be ok when I lower then car. Hell I dont have an issue tapping on the fender lip to clearnace it a little if necessary. I may even have the guy that is going to paint the car trim that area back maybe a 1/4-1/2"

sweet, my turbo gets here today, time to get the ball rollin on my car!

Do you have to do anything to the piping or will it all bolt up?

i got the one turbo to test fit. It will work, i'm not going to have to change the exhaust manifold, but we are going to redo the intake piping a little bit.



After i get it running and enjoy it this summer, i'm throwing in a 20b





woot



i went and started her up tonight with just the manifold on, fired right up on the first crank, literally, flames were shooting out of my engine bay https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

20b damn your a baller https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

the only reason im doing it is because it will be so cheap.



dee if you read this, i love you...



errr



not really but kayo's mass producing a chromemolloy subframe for 20b that eliminates bump steer...



pretty sweet

EWWWWWWW TMI TMI To Much Information https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

lol



youd love him too if he saved you so much money

Probably but I wouldnt proclaim it for the world to see. LOL



Hopefully I can get back home this weekend and do a little breakin on the diff.

Hey bobby hows the car coming. My good news is last weekend I took the car and got the cage certified.



I also found out the lowering springs I have arent going to work out so back to stock springs for me....



The car is ready......have a few bugs here and there to work out but for the most part she is good to go. My tach is reading wrong but I think I forgot to clip wires on it.

no progress, i'm at UMD now so i only have weekends, and the turbopeople are dicking me over.



good to hear about ur car though

You are at UMD? I thought you were still a senior in High School???



Welcome to my world only getting to the car on weekends!!



Tom you around? you put a single turbo on it yet?

maybe you guys should start an '06 edition?

Still around. Rebuilding the motor & Putting in a GT35RS. Maybe I will actually see the strip next year.



Of course, given the speed with which you guys are moving, I may get there first!

Easy Tom..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I am done the mechanical side of things. I am off to the paint booth when I get back from Sunny Fort Polk, LA at the end of Feb.



Then to the dyno shop and some last minute things like swapping the springs out for more ground clearnance and I am ready for the track.



My first race of the season is the end of March so that is my goal.

yeah im a freshman at UMD.



I dont even get weekends, i dont have a car (at all right now besides the 7) so i cant get home too easily...

Roger. Well my car goes to get body and paint this weekend and then some last minute button up things before I get her final dyno'd then I will be ready for the 29-30 April when I have my first 2 series races.

so long story short,



the turbo people are dicking both dee (he has no spares for his car) and me around. If they dont fix this by the end of the week something dramatic is going to happen...

That sucks man....Who is your supplier?



Hey I ran into some kid at my buddy's body shop and he was spouting off that he knew and one of his biddies ran a RX7 race car that ran CONSISTANT 7.60's.



I said oh you mean Dee, he got real quite...I think he was trying to bullshit me and I caught him by knowing who he was talking about. Some high school kid.



He went on to inform me that Dee's car is faster than mine...... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif Hey ******* thanks for the heads up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

hahahha awesome



if they dont get it to me this week im just gonna buy one.



Theres been a fire lit under my (an even bigger blaze under dee's) to get this **** taken care of https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

**** Dee better get going Nopi starts back up again soon.



Any idea when you are gonna be track ready? My car is done at the body shop, Saturday it goes to Paint then the following week it goes to the dyno then the drag strip....hopefully

No clue when ill be done. Basically when i get the chance to finish it...



dee isnt dedicated to nopi this year. Mazda wants him to run NHRA, and honestly he has a much better chance winning there...

Isnt he still racing Efantis, Justin and everyone else for NOPI.

He's going to go to nopi events when he can.



Some of the guys run both series, if that's what you are asking

Thats what I was asking. The top guys (Paul, Justin) run NHRA too so how is NHRA easier for him? Rules more towards him?



Any word on the turbos?

Dee's car is very competitive in NHRA, they limit the turbo size of the supras considerably



Apparently they should be on their way...



Ill work on the car this weekend if they get here

Sweet man.



Yeah I figured NHRA would be stricter on the Supra to even things out.



So is Dee staying 2 rotor?



Oh and BTW did you want those stock axles? They have been sitting at the house for months now cleaned and ready. Like I said earlier you are welcome to them if you want them. I dont have extra clips for them but you can have the axles.

update:



interior is stripped, I detarred the car, going to spray it black inside.



still no turbo, ive got a real big single and manifold sitting around tho...

Do you want those axles?



I made it to the dyno and found out my intake was choking the heads at 6500rpm so I am going to a Carb intake. Should be on the car this weekend.



Then back to the dyno....

Sure, Ill take em...





Any preliminary numbers ? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png





I ended up working night shifts for my dad this week (7pm to 6am) and that kinda trumped my car project. I need the money first i guess...



I wanna get it sprayed this weekend\...

Yes but they are a secret https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

10-4 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i will say this though we never sprayed it....yet

Bobby you still alive?

mabye.



my car runs again.



I am going to redo the manifold tho, because the layout blows.



Not before i retune with the new turbos. Car drives great though! at 10lbs boost comes on way faster then before and the car is still way fast, cant wait to tune high boost...

Glad to hear you are making some progress. Maybe we can get a fall get together at Mason Dixon!!!

You still out there?





I'm going to the dyno soon!

Hey Bobby. I havent seen you or been on for a while. A ton of changes since I have last seen it. Hope all is well.
