czar's slow build thread
meh, so i decided to make a thread of my build, I have gathered most of the parts so far. Ive been gathering parts for almost a year now. I will update this slowly with my progress but since I am near completion of gathering parts.
Parts so far: Cobb was ordered a few days ago greddy turbo kit was bought from halimsteven greddy profecb II Upgraded injectors from mm Ordered a garret gt 3071r from MM some time back waiting on this still prosport boost gauge and prosport afr guage. obx midpipe (got this for 100$ ship with some hagglnig from a ebay guy) bhr coils TR01 compression tester ( this has nothing to do with the build but i find it neat) picture time once i find a sony memory card reader |
Awesome, I'll be watching this one. Good luck Czar! 3071R is beastly.

so a update of things, the install and build has stalled for a little while, during the install we found a crack in my manifold then in my friends manifold, i decided to give him back his turbo (was such a sad day)
was realy pissed as we had it all bolted up the second time ready to start and hey a crack ... crappy luck but o well. I currently need to repair the manifold, and am currently waiting for mazda maniac to complete my 3071r. so o well back to the waiting game. also, wow its tight >_> i dont look forward to doing it again hopefuly i dont have to take it back off once its on |

heh, I am selling it as a kit for now with the position in line ~_~. Still having internal fight, along with what would be the replacement for the 8. Thinking 90's miata or my friends FD race ported none sequential twins, coil overs, and very good condition sooo tempting.
Selling the kit to cover the difference in what some one would be willing to pay for the 8 and what is still left. |
