The compressor housing gets quite hot which makes the filter's rubber collar hot which caused the collar to tear under the weight of the filter. So, I stuck on a GReddy AirINX. Is this the way to go?

Here's another view. My space is limited.

what is that connected to your intercooler?

It looks like the water tank to the radiators coolent, but I could be wrong

Looks like it will hold up better, I ha a similar filter on my vert, was an HKS, after a year or two from the heat it got really brittle and just fell apart, but it's better then falling off LOL

greddy is a good setup but yea what is that thing attached to ur i/c im very curious

you should ask before you buy stuff!!

It looks to me like the air/air IC has been converted to water/air and thats an ice box sitting next to it. An ideal setup for drags. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Damn a T66 with Air to Water, Not bad at all https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif





You should be fine with that setup

Yep -



That's in my sig - GReddy SMIC converted to liquid cooling. I use a JABSCO pump to circulate the coolant thru the I/C and its own radiator. But, the friggin' turbo compressor gets hot

....here Shayne (Smarty Pants), I guess I shoulda' asked ya 'bout this befo' I done did 'dis......

Sorry for the large image - Chris Ott did make several 400+HP pulls at 400, 402, and 405. I don't know why I ended up with the 397HP https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png , but hell, I'm a happy sum-beetch. The car is fast and reliable (for now).

Mild Street port?

Engine is from a '94 JDM R&R'd by RX7.com. It's only a stock port w/ 2mm seals. I was going to do a street port w/ 3mm seals but I became

terminally ill before completion of the engine. I probably won't be able to drive much longer and I decided not to spend all the extra money

for the extra performance mods. I just wanted to get this thing finished and on the road and enjoy it for awhile. It'll get sold eventually, but until then,

we'll run it and take care of it. The engine is quite strong.

Damn sorry to hear that man https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png



I was thinking stock or small port, but thats pretty good power for no porting. Drive the **** out of it, while you can https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Nice setup. Sorry to hear about your illness. Noticed your B-day is in 57, don't see many older guys with fully modded seven's often.

Thanks - here's the rest of it.

Wow, that looks sweet.

Looking Good! Keep it oiled! Would a heat shield help in anyway?

Heat shield is on the turbo and the DP is wrapped w/ DEI wrap. I'll post a clearer pic when I get home.

thats a beautiful car...... and hopefully it gets finished soon so you can drive it as much as you can .... til you cant drive it anymore

very clean car. looks good!

The other side of it. Thanks for the compliments.

you know...... a picture of your car is in www.fikse.com

http://www.fikse.com/yourcar/street40.html ill trade you my fm5's for those

Hehe,



Actually, that's not my car @ Fikse but rather for a dude named Craig B. Zaller who is entering his car for the "Ultimate Street Cahllenge" competition in the July issue of Sport Compact Car magazine, page 138. I see that he has done a buncha stuff w/ PFS. Unfortunately for him, as per his naive "smacktalk", he hasn't done enough preparation evidenced by "his numbers." https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif No stock turbo system will give him 380 HP at the flywheel or the rear wheels. He mentions no fuel system preps - fuel pump, injectors and no turbo improvement - the big things we all talk about.



His car looks nice enough. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bigthumb.gif

ohh..

I hope you enjoy it!

is that the PFS wing? I never see any pics of it from that angle

Yep - it's a PFS wing.



I just got back in from a cruise 'round town. We loaded up a our usual mix of aviation gas and turned up the boost.



I'll mod my signature for all my mods like I have on the other forum.



How does the Borla midpipe work out? My PFS catback is blown and I'm thinkin' of goin' w/ an ApexI N1 single and a resonated midpipe. I want the power, the looks, and a deeper, mellow, powerful tone.

Apex'i doesn't know how to weld. At least on the N1 dual I've seen.



Go with a Borla in the midpipe and have them make you a Borla catback at the same time. It will probably be cheaper, and you can get it all out of stainless. I'm thinking hard about selling my HKS Hyper Carbon Ti and doing this.

I've seen Craigs car in person its pretty nice but I don't think its gonna win the ultimate street car challenge

lol welp i dont have the borla MP yet https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png





it will come soon though, got all my cash tied up in something else at the molment.





got any more pics of the wing? none of the pics i see do it justice.





bobby

happened to me before, the only reason it would do that is if you had the clamp on to tight that it was pinching into the rubber. Don't tighten the clamp too tight.

I'd stay away from the apexi exhaust system, way too loud and crappy sounding. Go m2 or racing beat dual, sounds great, looks great, and performs good too.

The rs*r looks good!
