Turbo Upgrade

Are you going to be able to fit a larger turbo without any modifications to the Greddy kit or body?

Just two new parts, Spearco intercooler and a Garrett GT35/40R.

The rest is already installed.

I run the car with turbo for the last 10,000 miles,

and the last two months with 14 psi of boost without problems

Now we have plans to run the same 14 psi, but with a bigger turbo..............

we're working against time..............
We need the car ready before Sept. 2
There is a HIN in Puerto Rico that weekend
they called this year "Furious Wheels".

The turbine is already on the shop rigth now we're working on the custom manifold,
I'm waiting for the precision turbo intercooler (spearco core) if I don't receive it before
next wednesday I would need to by other intercooler locally.

Today I was on the shop...................................

My mechanic already finished my friend car (the blue RX8) he ports his engine
and make the famous "piñoneo" ( I don't know how to saw it in english)
He was tuning the car and in second gear the car was making 330 HP at 14 psi of boost
When he begins to tune it on third gear he notes that the gas pressure was dropping.....
He quit for the moment....................
tomorrow he is goin to begin the installation of a second fuel pump.

let's see the final numbers!

yep,

crazy puertoricans!

Sorry but the guy that is making the manifold don't finished on time his job................

But I always has a plan B,

I used on my both my friend's car, "confiando" is a turbo 2 body that in the past
was the fastest aspirated Rx-7 on the world, we maked 8.47 sec 1/4 mile, without turbo. someone's brkoes his record and we is maked a few changes on the car to get back the world record, the car would be runing on the tracks on a month.

See the pictures, and behind the girls it's the car!
The event finish today............

We would work hard this week to finish my car ASAP.

Lock & Load,

you make my day.............now I know something about australia.............
we have some jokes about girls very similar but in spanish!

The average puertorican male prefers the ladies with "culo grande" and those are the ladies that always you would find on the car shows.

You're correct....................................

on some boths you see two models, a very beautiful young lady for the younger customers, and one with "meat" for the customers that are not to young.

I really prefer the young ones!
