I no pictures yet, but v mount is done, it looks very crude right now, but I just wanted it on the road to drive, I'll be switching to non-seq on my twins soon.
I'm trying to figure out a issue with my injectors. I'm running all factory currently, and I won't get above 50% duty cycle once the coolant temp is above 50*C. Going to switch out my engine harness to see if that is the cause. I put those bronze rims, and my shine auto rear light lip, looks good (removed stock wing) now I'm going to plastic dip the car this winter cause I'm cheap and it'll be one solid color then... Will post pics once I figure out how from my phone (comp got stolen) J.

So quick, almost 2 year later update...
I ordered a few parts over the winter, doing the coveted single turd swap... bought a manifold from Elliot @ Turblown... great high quality piece... quute impressed actually... So I am going with a Borg Warner 8374 IWG... I swaped my PFC for a adaptronic, got lots of fuel ID 1000's & 2000's... FFE rails on there way, a big old GReddy FMIC converted for V mount with a Koyo N Flo... I've been driving it the past 2 years... To busy driving to post i guess *shrugs* So I'll post some pictures up soon, if I'm taking to long, feel freel to yell at me... Jon.

You won't be disappointed. I have a 7670 EWG with short runner manifold and dual wastegates and I'll never go back. Starts spooling around 2k hitting 24psi around 3500. I'm thinking of stepping up to the 8374 next time though. I was concerned with fast spool and when I got mine in 2011 there weren't any other rotaries (that I knew of) that had them, so I stayed smaller to be sure. It seems that the 8374 spools just about as quick but with more top end, so I'm thinking of stepping up. I'd say those two sizes are perfect though for fast spool and good power.

Here is a Large Photo bomb of... Photos... lol
I'll try to keep words to a minimum.... 1- motor being transported to get ported. 2- BNR Stage III setup. the "remove before flight" is a table I made to sit on the IC to protect the fins and add some bling/character when the hood is popped 3- Old Single setup I switched to, a ATS dual BB turbo, decent, but T4 open volute, left a bit to be desired... 4- Old single setup vs new Setup. EFR 8374 with one of Turblown's awesome quality Mani's, and Bracket. Seriously was kind of mad at the price, until I got it and seen the immense quality products he makes. 5- Comparison between 2 x EFR 8374's first is A/R 1.04 external wastegate, then my A/R0.92 Internal Wastegate, then a 4 liter jug of milk... Onto the next post... J.

1- Shows just how low Elliot's manifold puts everything, I love its placement.. 2- Showingt Clearence of his manifold with RHD cars (I do have aftermarket engine mounts but they are advertised as factory height, & I have PS deleted...) 3- Turbo coolant lines I got made and their clearance to the LIM 4- One of the reasons this turbo is so cool... 5- A MAJOR reason this turbo is F*cking awesome, the tech they have in this is second to none. J.

Post #3
1- New injectors... 1000x2 & 2000x2 ID. 2- New Rails, test fitting. 3- New FFE Trigger Setup and HAL Sensor, apparently my pocket was getting a hole burned, I am excited for 3x the resolution & less "drift" @ higher RPM = more accurate tuning from what the salesman inside my head told me... 4- Got my Dirty little hands on this huge rear tank for a Very Very good deal... was sitting in a local salvage yard FD (CDN car) for over 4 years and no one swiped it. I was so stupidly excited to score this thing...

next one...
1- Part of the new ignition setup I'm building with some reputable parts... DO it Right the first time, no half ass HKS twin bullshit stuff!!! I'm overly excited to get this part done so I can tune/turn up the boost from 10psi!!!! 2- after a Friend did some minor body work, right before I dipped the attention whore red (base coats) then onto the desired color Side note, got the Replica MS hood from a friend, it was black, changed it to Red with a few (6?) heavy coats of Plasti dip 3- 4 Layers of Red Plasti dip. You can see how the black is fading away into the red... Now onto the Killer Color choice (I think at least) Much more uniform color/look now... 4- Slight interruption of pictures to give you the Damaged LM's brought to a different color of Glory... I wanted Gray with blue speckles & got the opposite of that, Loved the Color enough to Make it work (you'll see) 5- Another shot of them the day I got them back from Powder Coating. J.
