OK, I'm going to try to put a few pics up in a couple of minutes as there has been a bit of progress. I now have boost! I also got rid of the TII CF hood in favor of... You'll just have to wait for the pics. LOL.

Well, here are a few pics to update you. New hood (traded El Nene 7 my TII CF for his RE-A CF hood. Also have the TII swap done. Just need to get the driveline swapped soon.

Why did he not like the RE-A hood over the T2 one?? Where did the RE-A one come from, it looks good w/ ur lights.

Also noticed that the TMIC doesnt have the heat shield on the bottom, you may want to get one that does if you sit in traffic at all

reese.leblanc · 11-19-2008, 02:26 PM

He's moving to Cali and didn't want law enforcement to be able to easily see his T70 turbo, etc. Not sure where it came from originally.

Hopefully, the top mount won't be there for too long. I see a possible Vmount in my future.

Dont know why, maybe just because its dark, but it looks "thin".

Needs larger mufflers to fill it out

reese.leblanc · 11-25-2008, 03:36 AM

Agreed. I'll be getting a new exhaust as money allows. Care to donate? LOL

anything new happen with the vert man?

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.

i love my tarus E fan i'll keep a lookout at LKQ for one if you want mines the simgle speed but i hear the duals are much better

88turboii · 04-23-2009, 06:59 PM

it has to be the exhaust holding the power back. I bet it has a pretty decent torque curve though

dregg100 · 04-23-2009, 09:04 PM

its the same exhaust that was on my white/black FC, and it wasnt being held back by any means. probably because its just a base map.
