I purchased it from my friend John. He never got around to installing it on his car before he sold it, but it wasn't exactly unused either (see picture). Needless to say, I got it at a good price. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

LOL, New meaning to the term blow off valve.

UPDATE:



Coupler:

Justin from Davinci has been nice enough to dig into his personal stash of couplers and send me a 3 to 2.5" transition. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Thanks again man.



IC pipe:

The 120 deg Greddy elbow I ordered from Ihor at Gotham Racing arrived yesterday, one day ahead of schedule!



Oil lines:

Below I have posted a picture of my feed and return lines. Please keep in mind that I have not actually connected the feed line yet, but I did lay it over the block and it appears to fit fine. The feed line is designed to run directly from the banjo fitting on the block to the turbo. Notice the super trick 14mm to -3an banjo fitting; BAT global had to order that sucker from German! The beauty of this setup is I have a -3 feed line without any reducers or the need to do a silly line loop near the turbo. I will post back once it is finally installed to confirm that it does in fact fit.



Special thanks to Justin at Davinci for providing the line length measurements and Eric Weller at BAT global for tracking down the Banjo fitting and a couple other obscure parts that I wasn't able to find anywhere else. I told Eric other RX7 owners may be interested in ordering a feed line from him so he is going to try to keep the parts in stock and he has a copy of my invoice on file for reference. There is one mistake on my invoice. I initially ordered a 1/8" line to turbo elbow, but the correct size is 1/4" as I posted in the picture. If anybody decides to order from him it's probably worth reminding him of this.





OIL FEED:

RETURN:

Arn't you missing a connection for the retun? Is that a SS hose? I think I will give them a call.



Chris

Other than the threaded turbo flange I bought from Ken at Cheapturbo.com and the return line to block connection, that is everything. I plan on modifying the stock block flange so I can slip the return line over it. I have attached a picture of the assembled return line below. Note I didn't push the line all the way over the hose end.



The line is made out of the same material that is used in the stainless lines, but does not have the braided casing. The main benefit of braided lines is that they can withstand high fluid pressure. Since the feed is a -3 and the return is a -12 the pressure should be negligable on the return.

UPDATE

Downpipe:

The downpipe I originally ordered has been delayed for at least another 3 weeks. Fortunately, Justin at Davinci is sending me a Davinci downpipe on short notice. Yesterday I told him I wanted to buy one and he sent it out today. With any luck I will receive it by the end of the week. I will post some pictures and feedback once I receive it. That is two I owe you for now Justin. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



midpipe

I bought it off ebay from a seller that claims it works with the stock downpipe. However, it looks suspiciously like the midpipe in the $125 downpipe/midpipe combo that does not mate up with the stock parts. It took 3 weeks and $50 in shipping to get it here. Overall it was not one of the better ebay transactions I've had, but at least I got something:)



Wastegate

My tial 44mm is supposed to arrive on the 25th. I have already lined someone up to TIG weld the v-band flange to the manifold.



Manifold

The turbo flange on my Autochrome manifold was slightly warped so I had a local machine shop machine it flat. The end result came out very well; I cannot fit even a sheet of paper between the flange and the glass top of my coffee table. The shop charged me one hour of labor for the work.



I will probably start the install process tomorrow evening. More pics to follow.

Oh man your gonna have fun. I didn't read back so sorry if you already spoke on this but what are you doing for fuel?

The fuel mods went in when I replaced the motor in October.
