Ok guys I thought I would come here and show off my new Greddy FMIC! I noticed a nice HP increase and the car seems to handle high end alot better (more smooth).

that looks so nice and your car must be running a lot cooler now rather than having the stock

yah, tell him he did a nice job making it all fit :bigthumg:



mike

damn tight, what up with the oversized battery? maybe it just looks big cuz u got so much other **** in there... nice

The battery is a little bigger than stock. It came with the car when I bought it.



When I got the car it had one modification (strut bar) and the engine was dead. Now look at all the stuff that has been done to it! I can't wait to get my Haltech and Turbo Upgrade next week!

looks VERY good :yum:

Looks GREAT!

Is that the new V-SPL core fmic from Greddy? How much? From where?

turborotor has the same one. it def fits better on 89-91's though :bigthumg:

matt's ic



and



mmmm big intercooler



mike

how much have u spent on that car already. thats a lot of work u put into it

Thats the new kit you can buy at rx7.com Its only 1k https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

one day I will have a nice shiny intercooler peeking out from behind my black bumper

looks good cept no everyone can see what your working with lol.. no more sneaking up from behind on unsuspecting v8's

I want the 3 core https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Hey, I have an extra one of those too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

in time, let me sell this other vert and the games will begin.

clean install

Ah, it's a kiot. That's why. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Looks nice. How was the install?? I am getting ready to do it to my TII as well.



I also have a little snail to throw in too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Nice, what kind of turbo is that.



I got 3k to spend here...but I am debating on what kind of turbo upgrade to do. I was thinking of doing a stage 3 or 4 from BNR...



What are my other choices that aren't going to cost me $2000+

How much power are you looking for? A good custom setup shouldn't cost you more than $2000.

I want to be able to do atleast 350hp. I was looking at the BNR stage 3 but have heard that these sometimes aren't the best bet. The other 1k I am using for a Haltech.

u bastards, ill be back in this thread when i find another TII https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Its a T-04E from Sportscarmotion. It came with air cleaner downpipe wastegate etc.. $3,500.



I am expecting 350RWHP @ 12 PSI.



I can boost this up to 18 but I want the engine to last a while.

I saw it last night... that is one big intercooler! :bigthumg:

If all you're looking for is 350 HP then the HKS TO4E kit would do just fine. If you want 350 HP with the potential for more then go for a custom kit. Do you want an external wastegate? Going custom will almost certainly require that. An HKS cast manifold and standard wastegate will cost about $600. You could also get a SFP manifold for an extra $150. They're very good. The stuff to do the oil lines and downpipe will cost you about $100-200, depending on how fancy you want to get. Then you'll just need a turbo. My friend made 383 RWHP at 15 PSI on his TO4E. I think it was a .81 A/R P trim turbine. It spools up very quickly, and the tope end is still pretty good. A 60-1 would also be nice, but more money.

Well I was looking at the HKS T04E kit and it looks really nice but is kind of pricey. Now if I did a custom job I was wondering if it would be better. For instance I got a quote from BNR on this:



60-1 compressor wheel

T04B dynamic Package

360 thrust package

15 degree clipped turbine

ported wastegate

ported turbine housing entrance

all new piston rings/bearings ect.

balanced and blueprinted

1 year warranty



Now the quote I got for this is to send my turbo in and they do the above to it. The cost is $700. With this setup I was also thinking of getting a external wastegate....



Do you guys think this would be a better way to go? Also the above should fit right in a require little modification/s.

Natas unfortunately because they are using your stock turbo you won't be able to go with an external wastegate. The good part though is that because it's your stock turbo it will bolt directly to your stock manifold. The only modification you may need to do is have a spacer put on so that it has room to fit in the space between the engine and fender(pushes it up higher so that it will have the required space).

That will bolt right in without much modification, but 350 HP will be at or above the limits of that setup. It will DEFINITELY be a big improvement over stock, especially with the standalone ECU. Just make sure that your wastegate is ported. I would recommend it as a start.

Great start IMO. Is your engine ported?

Ok guys here's the verdict on what I am doing:

I talked to Don Marvel of www.marvelspeed.com about everything and he said in his experience that its better to go with a full turbo rather than a hybrid....plus Don know's that I will probally want more power in the end. Kind of funny tho, when I first got my car it needed a rebuild so I went to don. He suggested I get a street port and I said...no that's just extra....I am not going to do anything to it other than keep it stock. Well he convinced me to get a nice good street port and I am happy as hell I went that way.



So anyway don told me if I got a Hybrid I would probally want more in the long run....why not get something bigger now and run low boost?



So we decided on a 60-1 Turbo with a Tial Wastegate and one of his special customized manifolds. Don claims that this manifold blows away the HKS and other commercial products.



I may go over to Don's tomorrow to get pic's of the manifold that he completed for me today. We are waiting for the Turbo to come in then we are dropping it all in on Saturday.



Until I get a haltech I will probally run no more than 8psi. I have 2 720 secondaries and a Walbro fuel pump...but we don;t want to push it until I get the haltech.....but when I do get the haltech it will be on! I'm going to run 12-14psi with the haltech (controlled by my Apex-i Super AVCR!)

sounds good. turborotor is running almost the exact setup... his car is an easy 12 second car with traction https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i love it

Sounds like a nice set up! Did you ever get any gauges?

Yes the Boost guage is going to be installed when I get the new turbo!

i want an FMIC https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif ah guages, i just installed my defi link system:water and boost tonight. Not totally done, but all the wiring is.
