Other Changes for the Duece

 A few small upgrades.

-10an catch can and new coolant overflow

Installed, I love it.

 New intake set-up, still finishing.  Cold air air-box with a big AEM dry filter.

Turbo Upgrades

 Performed some flow modifications to the turbo as well:
Kinugawa 20g wheel, Old vs New

 Old Compressor Inlet

 Manually lathed velocity stack:

Velocity stacks can increase flow up to and over 15%, I hope it does so here.

Exhaust Upgrades for the 2

Pictures are worth a thousand words...

 Slug Pressed in to promote laminar flow post turbine

 Porting Exhaust manifold

 Adapter to Turbo

New vs Old

Hoping to produce more horsepower as a result of all these flow modifications.

NHRA 2010

Went to a NHRA event at O'Reilly Raceway.  Here are some cool pics from it.

Small Updates

Not much going on.  Been busy getting ready to move.  I finished installed my rebuilt transmission.... shifts like butter!  I also completed my hot-pipe and cold-pipe set up.

Also cleaned up the trunk.  I will eventually re-do it as I'm not satisfied with the 5 A.M. job I did.

Small Updates

Haven't gotten THAT much done... pulled an all nighter last week.  I ended up pulling the tranny, completely disassembling it to get to the diff, and re-assembling everything new in the cleaned tranny case by 7 the next morning.  Heres a picture of the garage mid-way through.

Its now installed, and I am making some small modifications.  I will now have a single pieced 2.5" hot-pipe and a 3" coldpipe.  I'm also installing a new a/c compressor in hopes that I will have running a/c once again.

Sadly, that is about it for now.  I have plans on injecting more water/meth pre-turbo as my intake temps were over 200 at the end of the 1/4mile last time out.  Then a tune!

MR2 Problems :(

I bought and installed a junk transmission.  It HATES going into 4th.  So I am now rebuilding my other transmission.  Here are some pictures:

Got a lot of work to do.

Finished Project/Track Time

Finished The RX-7.  Roll Cages SUCK!  Never will do one again in a rush.  Heres some pictures:

And we went to the track.  The RX-7 is having issues currently, and so am I.  More about that later.

Here is my best run.  I'm into the 11's!!!!!!!

11 Second Pass

New Stuff... Crunch Time

Just finished the exhaust on the RX-7, got a lot more to do still (hot-pipe setup and a roll bar by Sunday... WOW!)

Downpipe

Reduces to a 4" exhaust with 3 mufflers

So we have a lot more to do before Sunday, a lot of late nights and little sleep.  As for my car, here is a small update picture:  Recirculating BOV fitting and valve cover painted

Sunday = Norwalk for some drag racing.  Can't wait!
