My first HMT took about a week. Second one took morning till night and about 20 trips to lowes and autozone. Well, didnt technically FINISH it. It was non-intercooled and open down-pipe

Kain, don't try and say ---- to me about Rx-7s, I know what they are like, and I decided long ago that they are gay as ---- up your ***.
The Na motors are completely different then the Turbo II motors, so to turbo your NA car, you need the engine, all electronics, transmission, driveshaft, and while you are at it you might as well get the rear end forma turbo 2(unless you have a gXL, then you already have LSD) but yeah Rx-7 burn way too much gas, it just isn't worth it in my opinion to own a FC.
My buddy has a bridge ported Rx-7 with a huge snail, now that things sounds cool at idle(burns so much ------- gass too has 1600cc secondaries).

The day BLACK_DEL_SOL builds his own turbo kit is the day I go to Canada and *** rape Spenser. He'll probably just post pics of somebody else's turbo kit and pass it off as his own like he did before with his car.
