Just bought a Black 87TurboII thanks to ray of Coeur d' Alene ID.



My plans are to finish my exhaust (3" with a Flow Master three chamber muffler) this weekend. Install a boost controller and finish and test my own FCD that i have been working on four two months now. I will be adding a SX boost reference fuel regulator also. Also will be adding a W/B for tuning. Thats about it for this season. It will be fun to cruz around in and I plan on making a few road trips.

I pretty much suck when it comes to this lump I call a computer but if these pics load I think they will speak for themselves. Tiny Garage and FC rebuild + much *** pain.





Only been at it for a couple days but now I have to go back to work so the pace will be slowing way down.

I was at the last Friday Night drags. It was the first week I owned the car. It was totally stock and "The Ray" wanted to see what the minor mods he made to Cory's RX7 would be compared to a all stock 7. Cory beat me pretty good.



So then the next week The Ray did his magic and got my car running a lot faster. It felt like I double my HP.



I just got the 3"exhaust done tonight and I'm very happy with the sound. I should have some pics tomorrow.



I might make it for a one of the days durning Apple Blossom. My work keeps getting in the way.

Well hope you can make it for one of the days. Look forward to seeing you at the track this year. Hopefully its not the last year, but from what I hear, it is the last year. So guess we all better enjoy while we can. Bring on the pics

well since i tore down my turbo NA to bare block to fix some exhuast leak issues. not blocking off exhuast pasage to the middle port under hte primarys, ( i belice that was part of the leak)



heres some pics of my NA turbo with port matched manifolds( i port matched a 4 port manifold to bolt to the na 6 port block , this is what the final product turned out like, not great, but it does work fine!
