figured I might as well start one.
No pictures yet, I can't find my digital camera.
Anyways, here's what's been done:
When I first bought the car the previous owner had already replaced all the vacuum hoses with silicone ones, and had removed the pre-cat and added a full 3 inch exhaust all the way back to the muffler, but he left the stock muffler on, ok whatever.
First thing I wanted to do was put an intake on it, because as anyone who has seen a FD's engine bay can attest to, there is no way the stock filter allows the turbos and motor to breathe properly. So I got the Trust (Greddy Japan) Airinx Intake, and put it on. Provided a LOT more room where the old black plastic box was and I immediately felt a slight increase in power.
Then I started to smell a burning clutch, so I ordered a new ACT stage 2 clutch kit with High Performance Pressure Plate. Pulled the trannsmission, and found out that it wasn't the clutch that was bad, it was the flywheel. So I ordered a new Fidanza lightweight unit, weighs 8.5 pounds (i think, which is about 13 lbs less than stock). At the same time I managed to pick up a nice set of Tokiko Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks with H&R springs, when done the car pulled better than I thought, just couldn't launch thanks to very little rotational mass/inertia.
So the car was slammed and at the time I thought I just needed new tires, exhuast and ECU, but no...
Found out a the previous owner also had new 99 spec turbos installed, which I just got back from getting rebuilt as one of the gaskets was cracked and leaking oil.
I've been buying up parts to put on when I got a chance and while the turbos were in Texas getting rebuilt here's what I did:
new 550 primaries and 850 secondaries
boost, afr, oil temp guages, all to be mounted in the center console above the stereo (will take pictures when completed)
HKS boost controller
clean out (from the leaking oil in the turbos) the entire intake tract, including flush the intercooler out.
replace the coolant hoses
and unfortuantely (or maybe fortunately) I had to pull the Tokiko/H&R set up because I also bought 18" ADR M classic rims from ryan (Chevelle7D2) with new tires (YES!) and they were too big and rubbed the fender. so I put the stock shocks/springs back on.

I think that's all that's been done for now.
Cliffs: Greddy Intake, boost controller, 3 in exhaust, guages, new flywheel and clutch, 18" ADR M classic rims, 8.5 wide front, 9.5 back (stock is 16 x 8 all around), replaced vacuum hoses and injectors.

Future plans (hopefully before summer is over/next winter):
Tein SS height adjustable coilovers
Apexi Power FC with Commander and Datalogit (ECU)
Stainless steel exhaust, thinking about going to Mr. Muffler for this since it's a passive system and he can give me a good deal
Unorthodox Full Pulley set
Greddy Intercooler pipe 3-piece set
Efini y-pipe
bigger stock mount intercooler

Way down the road plans:
Seibon Scoot style carbon fiber hood (maybe, maybe painted, idk)http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/seibonst.htm
Feed type 2 spoiler (i'll get the pic later) or 99 spec spoiler
99 spec front bumper
Either BNR stage 3 twin turbos (dual GT28 turbos) or single turbo, thinking a gt42
1600cc secondary injectors w/ fuel rail or bored out stock 850s running 1200/1300 cc
bosch/supra/RP/walboro fuel pump
HKS twinpower ignition
Front mount or v-mount intercooler
Koyo Radiator
dual oilcoolers
Meth injection kit
port of some size, dunno yet

Goals for first stage (next summer/winter)
350 hp, 15 psi, low 12s

Goals for second stage
400-425 hp, low 11s/high 10s

I think that's it for now.

23rd December 2008, 11:58 AM
couple things I forgot:
Sparco steering wheel is in
I got a new stereo, but I want to get a better one (I don't remember the brand I have now, I'll post up when I go check), I also want one 10 or 12 inch sub,
relocating battery and fuel filter to the trunk

More way down the road plans:
Big Brake kit (cross drilled and slotted rotors)
polished and maybe black powder coated engine bay
new paint
Volk CE28Ns, maybe

Why do you want twin GT28s or 1 GT42 and only want 400ish HP? A single GT3071R or GT30R will get you there for less money than the twins and less lag than the single GT40

the twins are a sequential ball bearing unit that is a really cool idea, and my power doesn't even start to show itself till 4k so i'm so used to lag anyways it doesn't bother me.

i'll post a better explanation in a bit

millertime
23rd December 2008, 02:51 PM
the BNR's aren't exactly true gt28s, they are the rough equivalent of two GT28s
and with the GT 40 I could have a safer lower boost tune and easily have 400, I could run a smaller GT35 (which is another option) but the turbo would be closer to it's peak, and price is all about the same, I could get 500+ from a T04Z, but I don't want or need that much power, plus the spool is still too much.

Looking around a bit I've found a few better deals on the GT35s, but the 40s would allow me to have a much better peak power if I wanted to tune it that way.

JustinGSX
23rd December 2008, 02:59 PM
His point was that those turbos are major overkill for your goals, not that they're "not cool". A GT42 is a BIG turbo and I wouldn't choose it unless your planning on at least 600hp someday.

But I know goals are always broken.

23rd December 2008, 03:38 PM
yeah, i looked at it again and now I realize that the biggest turbo I'll want is the T04Z which is still good for over 500, which is way too much, so i'm looking into the GT30 or GT35 series turbos, but the BNRs are still an option, but I've got some time to make up my mind as that's at least a few years down the road

T04Z turbos are ****ing massive as well. A GT35 is good for over 500 and a GT30 will hit 500 on race and a good tune.
Also look into the Borg Warner S200 series.

and the apexi PFC commander has a afr display, it's also one of the gauges i'm getting installed, so i've got that covered.

skyler's convertible FC is supposed to weight about 3300, the FD weighed like 2880, like 40 pounds more than bugra's 240, or there abouts, and that was with a LOT of extra stuff in it and a full tank of gas. The normal time for a 350 hp FD is high 11s low 12s, a few people have managed high 10s on 350, but that's rare.

I want to keep the turbos in their most efficient range and also minimize wear and tear on them. That's where the meth kit comes in too, lower boost along with the meth kit will allow me to run slightly leaner afr's (low 13s instead of low 11s which are recommended for turbo rotaries and the meth will help decrease temperatures) so I can get better gas mileage and more power.

and it's ok matt... I wish I could get drunk at the moment.

Unless you are very knowledgeable on the 13B-REW or have a lot of discretionary income, I suggest you at LEAST send the core itself off for rebuild. With the high cost of rotary rebuild components, you need to have a clear understanding what you are doing. It's not just a simple matter of putting new apex seals in and slapping some coolant seals into the rotor housings. You need to check tolerances and be able to distinguish what's reuseable and what's not. Further, if you buy a rebuilt core from a reputable shop, they will offer a warranty. That way, if they screwed up, it's on them instead of you.

Just my .02.

hmm... thanks, I've been looking at the rx7store rebuilds and thought about it, but yeah, i'm contemplating things as it is.

If I had enough discretionary income to do a swap, I would be looking at a 20B swap before an LS1

I'll believe it when I see it, the rebuilt and ported long block alone costs 7600
a long block alone, without a rebuild is 3200 in questionable condition. That doesn't include any sort of fuel system, ecu, supporting parts, etc...

well since I already told a guy on ness I would buy his greddy elbow, i sent him payment today, 90 dollars, not that big of a deal.

I've decided I'm gonna attempt the rebuild, and if I blow it, I blow it, and I'll persue another means of restoring the car. I'm going with the atkins rotary rebuild kit version C with no apex seals, or the "master rebuild kit"
http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/home.php?cat=628
any input on which one?

with the ALS "unbreakable seals." I've heard some very good things about these seals and their ability to withstand detonation. One guy has been running them on 25+ psi all last season, and he blew and the seals were reusable (he has them in his current car).

Or just have fitz help...

i helped (or more so watched) fitz on his last rebuild, when i took apart my motor he helped on labeling everything and whatnot

the front hub would not come of mine, even with a 650 ft lb impact

we had to make a tool to get it off

the rebuild kit, not housing or rotors if you need them, example: s4 turbo is about 500 for a new rotor and 500 for a housing/intermediate plate. If you have a apex seal fail

rotor trashed/housing is trashed your now just shy 3k for parts just to rebuild it, now you just add time or some one elses time, yep definitely more expensive then a ls1 short block, what happens if you screw up and it comes apart again in a week or 6 months, shame on yourself? more like need a big super kick in the ass.

not saying that i would ever ever rip the soul out of my car. you need to understand and be full aware of your options. Swaped rx7s arn't bad, there not my cup-o-tea, but driving your car is much more fun then; i think I want to drive it to my grandmas house(its a example), but i need to barrow my brothers/somebody's car because if the engine goes, I'm **** out of luck being out side of city limits.

but if you didn't shell a apex seal, your good just rebuild it :) go rotary brother...!!ZING!!

ok, i'm gonna try and find some dimensions and get some help from a friend who has a good amount of welding experience and works out at Lincoln Trucking. We'll see when i get all the info and start buying parts once the motor is out and I can sell stuff.

also, I would rather have to **** with the hood than mess with bump steer, and I know when I talked to ryan he said they do something for bump steer instead of the hood.

Here's your motivation:

i'm hoping to keep my own spending below 5k, but that's after I sell:
greddy elbow
greddy FMIC
greddy intake
short block
99 spec turbos
tranny w/o clutch flywheel
clutch
flywheel

I'm hoping to keep it below 3k of my own money after selling those parts

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after reading rebuild threads I really want to do a rebuild now!!!!!!!!!
****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really want to try the rebuild and maybe port it while I'm at it, and I was gonna do a LOT of other things too while I had the motor out, braided fuel lines, relocate the battery and fuel filter, might as well do a fuel pump and bigger injectors, apexi pfc, pull the power steering, air pump, and abs, ignition and spark plugs, boost controller and guages, basically if I do a rebuild, it's gonna be down for a while, so I want to do everything I can.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously, i need to just make a decision and stick with it, I'm probably gonna take an extended leave of absence from scr and ness and just read as much as I can on rebuilds and swaps. I know once I start one way or the other, i'll stick with it, that's who I am, but starting is the problem.
