update on rx-7 nightmare...project
Ok its been nothing but a pain in the ass. WE are STILL doing the pre-fit stage and fabing crap..
some problems that have come up..1 the HKS manifold I had for the project fit fine on the engine however did not fit in the engine bay..pushed turbo to far out (hit strut tower) and also sat to low (hit frame rail). The WG also was hitting the floor pan of car.. FIX: contacted a shop in AZ to make a new manifold specific for me.. 2 went to mount engine/tranny and mounts are 1 inch off (forward of mounting point on car. Fix: make new crossmember. Not done yet. Need parts back from shop fabing my manifold/downpipe set up. 3 Hot side of turbo has shitty design kind of chokes turbo spool at high rpm. FIX: Guy doing my man/dp set up swaped me a new hotside and did a V-band for me..Went from a .81 to a 1.0 hotside.
Here are some pics of the work-in-progress of the manifold/ DP set up..will post more pics of project later in this thread.
