Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

well... the project is coming at a snails pace. the spare engine i got is going to get sent out and rebuilt. so far, from what i heard, stock exhaust ported rx7's ccan reach around 400 and thats their stop gap. so i dont give a fucken ---- at all.

also as some of you might have remembered, i was in an accident. its getting fixed very very very slowly. i baught a stud welder from habor freight and i will use it eventually. its raining too much and its too cold. so imma put off the actual work tills pring time.

so on to this post. its a small developement in the life of me turboing my car. yes turboing. i decided this rout because.. well.... i dont like a 1500 rpm idle and have to double clutch like a granny to get it of the line when im driving to work. im talking about porting. so i opted for turbo instead. so meh, here are the pics.

other than that, you can ell i got the stock turbo setup for a turbo rx7. so imma work with that. even though i will be runing low boost for a lil bit, i will still have tons of low end because i will be using higher compression rotors. so yeah.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

your exhaust housing looks like a boston baked bean.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

thats cus its ------- huge, and its a twin scroll.

o btw i forgot to list what i got.

upper and lower intake manifolds. all complete.
fuel rails
4x550cc injectors ( i only need two though )
turbo, and exhaust manifold for 425 shipped. i tor the turbo apart and cleaned it up some. and the flapper on the exhaust manifold for the twin scroll is coming out.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

how many miles do those motors usually last? my buddy has one in his carport that hes selling me for 500. he drives a volvo and knows nothing bout cars. it has 180k on the cluster. when i popped the hood it has racing beat strut bar, after market wastegate, hks boost controller, 5spoke 3 piece work rims in the trunk, a sparco seat in the trunk, has racing beat exhaust and some sort of suspension that ive never heard of, question is should i be expecting this motor to need a rebuild? its a turbo 2 by the way

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

the turbo and exhaust manifold are worth that much? holy ----... my cousin traded all of the turbo stuff for a tII rx7, a 3" exhaust and a tII hood for an NA RX-7 that didnt run, had beat up fenders, beat up hood and a beat up bumper.. if only he knew...

yes. 180k is a ---- on on rx7's

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

no. 425 was for everything.

that depends. i would buy it if i was you. the car by itself is worth a ---- ton of money. plus, rx7 engines are butter. the can boost a ---- ton if your turbo can make it and if you provide enough fuel. but as i said, i would get it if i was you.ill see what i can cook up.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

what does removing the flapper for the twin port do? quicker or slower spool time? what's the purpose of doing this.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

looks good kain, I never thought I would see the day that you ungayed your rx7. Whey did you send your mill out for a rebuild? I thought from your last thread you were doing it?

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

i dont see why you got the intake, are you going to use na rotors in t2 housings? thats the only way that intake will bolt up. If your planning on just putting the turbo manifold on an na motor yout going to need a spacer that pushes the turbo from the block, and possibally a notch in the frame

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

that hoe in your avatar got ass control skills :6

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

his avatar got and ass... shake it dont break it

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

thats the plan. plus, the porting on the na manoifolds sucks. so yeah, ill use the turbo end irons and intermediate.

or my other rout im tossing around in my head right now is .. a .. well... a itb setup, with the turbo and stand alone, but thats a lil more money then what i wanna deal with.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

How far along is the body work? Get that quarter fixed yet?

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

well... i got the new door on and painted flat white. i also did the front fender cus that had a minute dent in the front tip. i hated that dent cus it was soo obvious. so i went ahead and ghetto fixed that. i mean its not perfect, but for a 2 hours fix it job, and to the untrained eye, it looks damn good.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

------ sweet :y

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

never thought id see kain boosted :o

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

well... after doing some reaserching and some asking, i find out, that, dun dun dun. my turbo unit uses to4 parts. so that means basically most any t04 part can be fitted. boy o boy am i gonna have some fun with this.

and after thinking about it, my poopy 300 whp is kinda lame. i might aswell go the full way and do a t2 tranny swap, and boost the fucker to 400 whp.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

can we quote u on that?

:P

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

Atta boy.

I'll get the tII info to you ASAP.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

sounds like kain is gonna see 300hp before hotrex. :-X

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

im not in a race with anyone. i could care less. if hotrex has that much hp good for him. honnestly.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

Haha good stuff Kain. We all never thought we'd see the Porn King boosting! Thats good though. :D

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

thats the mainstream thing. people all the time say i cant do this and i cant do that. i end up showing them that i can. o well.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

you cant ever ---- a chick. now go to work!

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

lol. o i can ---- one. the difference is if i ever will.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

answer my question u hoe

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

im doing it cus i can, and because its restrictive as hell.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

word

lookin good so far kain, keep us updated on how she turns out.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

im oing it oem because it will be cheap, but proven to produce good ammounts of power.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

sweet, i want to see a video when you finish.

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

im asking why tho, what does it improve besides you saying its restrictive. does it improve spool time? smoother boost? does it have to be removed or can the flap jus be left open?

Re: Kains project rx7 tidbits.
 

the tiwn scroll imporves spool times, @ idle to low boost one side is closed on the turbine inlet to spool the turbo faster. @ higher rpm/boost it opens boths sides of the turbin housing so it wont restrick the exhaust flow. This is only in s4 T2's cause the s5 T2's have a better designed exhaust side wheel to help spool times
