Default The Project Thus Far (pics)

Check it out kids. Here's what I got so far.

Here's a preview of things to come (hehehe)


Note the 450cc RX-7 injectors



The assembled bottom end (arias pistons/crower rods)

Just curious, how much is this costing you (the bottom end rebuilding)?

Is that a sleeved block? Shhhhhwiiiing!!!
I hate you. How much boost are you planning on running? You need a bigger turbo.

I'm doing the bottom end myself. It cost about $100 to get the block and crank checked out and balanced. I got the bombdiggidy deal on my internals. Also, the block is not sleaved, that's just the head gasket you see.

Nice! What model RX-7 are those from? Do you anticipate any problems using them?

Dammit, it's not teal!!!! That's OK though, I can take it. The injectors are from a 2nd gen NA RX-7. They are saturated, so no resistor box (yay). You can pick them up cheap if you look. I have the motor in the car now, and my Hondata takes the 450cc's just fine.

Sweet, I just earned the caption under my name....


I wasn't looking hard enough.

Steam clean the block, then paint it Type-R Red. Not only will you car go faster, it will also go faster.

I'm hungry. What's a word that rhymes with orange? Why can't I grow a mustache? Plastic bag! Plastic bag!
