Projects of 2008
 
So I'm kind of new the forum, finally registered after two years of lurking around... and well 2008 for me is going to be a crazy year for building my ---- up...

Project #1 Begin restoration of my Mazda 323 GTX (1.6L DOHC Turbo, 4-wheel drive)

Project #2 Begin my long dreamed of turbo Escort setup

project #3 Begin Supercharging my VR6 in my bora...




So the question I have for you guyz is this, what forced induction related project do you plan on starting, or finishing in 2008?

Post pictars of said Mazda.

Supercharging is for fags, go turbo or go home.

Integra 91,

t3 precision turbo
eagle rod
forged piston
450cc
full crower built ls head
port and polish
xenocron 255 fuel pump
ported skunk2 intake manifold
tial wastegate
cdm bov
mini ram horn manifold


Still missing piping, interfooler, pison and rod, oil line (the drain supposed to be shipped soon) ::) And I don't know if I'll keep the 450cc. For the exhaust, I have a 2.5" catback, but maybe I'll buy a 3", but less ricer than this one. 4" outlet is a bit big :1 But if I don't want to spend more money I'll keep it.

Anyway, when I begin the build I'll start a new thread ;D

I plan to finally finish boosting my Focus. Ideally, I'd like to get it done before ALMS at Mid-Ohio in mid July.

upgraded the turbo set up on my car

topmount manifold
gt35 turbo
50mm bov
44mm wastegate

still gotta fab up a downpipe and dump and get it tuned..
trying to get a 10 or low 11 sec pass this year :6

Re: Projects of 2008
 
Get the sedan back on the road with a new clutch, ghetto exhaust (instead of just downpipe) and drag radials up front... This ---- is getting spendy

Also, not turbo related... But I'd like to find a cheap 92-95 hatch and run crome on the stock motor.. Advance the timing, run colder plugs, set rev limit to like 5 or 6k, add a little water injection with a 5 gallon tank in the trunk to keep temps down, lean the ---- out of the low cam map, set the valve lash to the loose side of spec to make sure they always stay somewhat cool, and read the plugs/EGTs until I get a ---- ton of gas mileage :6 Backwards ass I know :l

Project that I want to start, is mpfi obd1 swap and turbo my sedan. Car is a 91 dx sedan. Goal is to find a f22 swap, and boost it with a holset.

But i just found a guy selling a dx hatch and a si shell, that im thinking about picking up. If I pick those up then I will mostly try and sell the si shell and make the dx hatch my project.

$5k is a steal.

If I was you I'd sell that body, keep the motor and get an FC.

Jacking up the car 3ft to get the engine out FTL. There is only one true RX7.

Scratched this idea....

Buying a JDM B16A swap from my friend for $800. I offered him $800 and he said yes, so im like hell yeah. Has mounts, linkage, axles all for a ef. Just needs a starter and a dizzy. I have a obd1 ecu and dizzy. Just need to find a starter. Possibly even a obd1 harness to make it a little easier to convert with my boomslang harness.

Plan is to boost this by july.
