sorry for the long post.....got carried away....the 2nd-6th pics are of the current turbo kit fabrication/installation.....its been 1.5 months since the shop started on it, its about 70% done....all the fuel stuff are installed and intercooler mounted, all thats left are the remaining piping and tuning. it MIGHT be finished in about another week *fingers crossed*

this will be my daily driver hopefully.....it has virtually NO appearance mods, im not fascinated by all the kits or rims....its gonna be all go and no show cant afford to make it do both. all comments welcome

ps. if u also browse probetalk.com, please keep this information on the DL...esp. the pics....and if ur a member of PT and sees this, do the same, and consider urself lucky, im trying not to release too much info to everyone at PT cuz im waiting for the big meet in november, thanks

 

lol, you know like half the members of PT browse this board regularly right? good lookin car though man... keep us posted on that turbo install, and let us know what the kl-ze is puttin out after the turbo.

 

lol, i didnt know PTers come here.....oh well.....those are the only pics im gonna show even after its done.....

by the way, im boosting the 03, not the ZE, i'm only gonna be using the ZE manifold cuz of the better flow/bigger runners

 

thats sweet man. i used to have a probe..all stock.but it could hang with the best to a point. that thing is gonna be fast as hell when its done. nice job on gettin the car to that point.

nice dude! i really enjoy those pgts! i looked at a few while i was looking for a second car, you got a nice one there.

 

thanks guys for the compliments, i should have it back in a week or so, i'll post some finished pics then

 

turbo kl03, that's sweet!!! I take it that your shop will be tunning everything? Please post your dyno when you're finished. I'm sure you'll see some good numbers.

thanks for sharing


BTW, how much were the RX-7 rims?

 

yes the shop WILL be tuning the car....thats why im paying him to install things, so i dont have to mess with it, ive seen waaaay too many DIY people fudge up and scrap the projects :lol: the shop has a chassis dyno there and he will be using that to fine tune everything, i'll def. have a dyno plot when i get it back, and i will only take the car back if im pleased with the results (i have a range im aiming for and know that my parts will be able to achieve)....so if its not at the range, i'll tell him to get it there :P

the rims w/ pretty good tires were a lil over 600 bucks shipped, they can be had for cheaper, but w/o tires, it was time for me to get new tires and i found a guy selling WITH tires in good condition so i really saved alot of cash
