After selling another fd i built and getting some money on top for my pick up that got into an accident i decided blow all the money in the car
First thing was to port the engine.. at first i was just gonna do a street port
then changed my mind to a bridgeport
and at the end i ended up running a full j port 


might as well be fast if its gonna be widebody ? right haha

after that i took the engine to my friend to drill it to fit the bigger studs for higher boost

put in new bearings also (parts were cleaned before assembly
)


blocked off the oil metering injectors and pump. I always tend to do it in all my rx7s to stop the use of engine oil for the premix


put in new engine mount from banzai racing

cleaned the rotors

then i was ready to start putting it together

A must in every engine we build
rotary aviation super seals also went ahead and got new side seals and springs and atkins solid corner seals

not taking any risk i went ahead and put in a new oem mazda oil pump and chain

best thing about this engine, less issues of running hot thanks the the coolant passages being ported

next were the bolt ons
first thing was the fuel system..
i ended up buy full function fuel rails in black but guess they wanted me to have the blue ones

didnt know at first but had to also buy injector spacers to run id 725s and bosch 1680s with these rails

at first i was gonna go with a dual pump set up but after a lot of research i scrapped that and just got a bosch 044

didnt want to worry about any fuel leaks so went ahead and bought an fittings from the tank to the rails

all the show used to run on an apexi but it just wasnt enough off a "stand alone" to keep up with the new set up so i ended up getting the newest microtech out
lt 10 s with all the goodies


while waiting on part i did this .. you can tell how bored i was

i missed being single turbo so bad that i had to get a bigger badder set up
picked up off a forum the perfect manifold to fit the t78 without any clearance issues
the wastegate in the other hand made me get the hammer out

made sure to get a clutch that would hold the power im trying to push spec stage 5 kit

the first set of coils werent cutting it so i picked up some fortune auto 500s with swift springs 12k f & r

then came what ive been dreaming of way before i had an rx7... ..

widebody fenders from shine auto
threw on the fenders just to see what i would look like and

also put the carbon fiber diffuser on along with the carbon fiber bumper protector, roof spoiler, and low pro spoiler
a must for rx7s.. transmission and deferential brace to prevent wheel hop and breaking shit

then i decided to take a break

next day started fresh and saw this lol talk about clearance

then started putting it together


i feel bad to whoever rides next to me when this thing opens lol
tial 60mm

while i waited on parts again i ended up taking my brother's car out for a drive
j ported with a hx55 on 15 psi haha

Props for keeping it 13b and nice work on the rebuild. I'd probably rebuild pistons, but the apex seals always seem like a ticking bomb if you fuck it up.
Sounds good though, I'm sure tickets will be flying
