        Something about the FD's rear look. Get it back on the road, speaking of years, I should get my vehicle back on the road to at some point. haha
        feels like forever haha the turbo is keeping me from driving it though

          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

                    then i ran into a little setback





                    guess whoever sold it to me forgot to say that it had a couple apex seals go through it...

                    car runs at the moment just waiting on the rebuild kit for the turbo to start driving it

                          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
