88 vert buildup and TII conversion

Updates:

I bought one of the radiators from moremazda and installed it. It's HUGE!! Don't plan on keeping your A/C without redoing the lines. I decided to ditch mine. It's a convertible after all.

I still need to get a good electric fan. I'm running the stock fan with no shroud at the moment with no issues at all.

I recently put the car on the dyno just to see where it's at. At 8 lbs of boost with brief spikes to 9.5 I saw 203whp. The fuel map was a Tuning Technology base map for 550/550 injectors. I had 550/680, stock fuel pump, a hybrid turbo and a 3" exhaust with stock downpipe. Not too awful bad. The graph was a pretty linear pull all the way to 7200 where they let off.

I have a set of 800/1600 injectors already here that need to be installed as well as a Walbro fuel pump that is coming from Masin. I also have a manifold, DP and oil lines being made for me by Shook Racing (moremazda). This is in preparation for the new turbo I'll be buying in the next couple of months. It's not a huge turbo, but it should be just fine for what I want out of the car.

I'll see about getting more pics up as things move along.
