DE bottom end, ZE heads, Millenia IM, DE intake cams, ZE exhaust cams, Millenia S injectors, Cosmo AFPR, Vortech super FMU, Super T70 (SSAC version , more comparable to a T61), homemade pipes, FMIC, Blitz SS bov, Tial 38mm WG, Probe GT ecu/Vaf, and a 6lb spring in the WG.

Nice

Just need a new bumper and some paint to get rid of that red/rasberry color thats showing through in your engine bay and it'll be one freaking amazing MX-3.

Nice MX-3 man!

Very nice, wherer does your downpipe lead to? do you have a hacked crossmember?

I like how it is set-up. Who's the spoolin with your turbo ?
how much boost you runnin ?

The downpipe goes form the turbo, across the front of the engine until it dips down (as seen in the picture), then under the oil pan (parallel to the up pipe coming from the rear exhaust bank). I piped it so the up pipes come together right underneath the longitudal cross-member, so I didn't have to hack it up at all. As for my transverse cross-member, it's off until I get a chance to purchase and install a flex piece in the downpipe. All piping was done by myself with help from others at various stages.

As for numbers, I'm not sure. Think of a T61 putting out 6lbs of intercooled boosted air to a 180-190 CHP engine. As for now I can merely speculate, but my best guess would be around 220-230 WHP. I am currently using the Vortech Super FMU at 6lbs, however I will be soon making the jump to MSNS and running 10-15lbs. Spool up is kind of crazy. I start spooling way up top in first gear around 4500-5000 RPM, hit second then see full boost at around 4500 RPM from then up. My AFR's are sittin' between 10:1-13:1 while boosting, and anywhere from 10:1-15:1 off boost (depending on throttling, RPM, speed, etc..). I'm quite satisfied

I'll be dyno'ing and hitting the track before long, I will be certain to post results.

Nice set-up. Have you got an unequal amount of drop between front to rear. Could be wrong, but looks like the front is lowered noticably more than the rear?? Nice colour too.

could be the added weight. The weight of the turbo, intercooler and piping is significant
