kewl! I love how everyone is getting these peddles now

the eunos badge is cool as well. Stop being lazy and Get it hooked up so it lights.


lol my wife just said this would be what my MX would look like if i went with stock options (skirts, lip, wraparound spoiler)

great work over all I love the whole thing.

[Jovian2k]

Thanks! Gonna hook the light up soon, had limited time to work on my car this week and want to do things properly so.. next time!

Hey mate, rear light up badge looks good

[Jovian2k]

Finally got my rusted out exhaust removed and installed my Pacesetter 2.25" Cat back! Thanks Aaron!






Also installed my RX7 Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump to get ready for my turbo install

[kulluminati777]

that exhaust looks great! Way better than some hks magnelfow fart can. Do you have a sound clip?

[AaronTietje]

O, That's BEAUTIFUL.

[Jovian2k]

Quick clip (because it was freezing outside as you can see by the icicles hanging!)


Coming soon:
-Hook up Eunos indiglo light
-Compression test
-Turbo Install

Will be exploring uncharted forced induction territories, wish me luck...

[Mooneggs]

Sweet you got the Eunos Indiglo installed!!

[Jovian2k]

This weekend got started with the turbo project!

Compression tested the BP got something like 180 175 160 160 for compression from cylinders 1-4. Given that most say 160 is good and motor is running well I proceeded. Took bumper and bumper support off, removed downpipe and BP exhaust manifold, drained oil, replaced BP oil pan with 1.8 GTX oil pain with oil return. Unplugged the oil feed and coolant feed bolts from the engine (draining coolant), bought bracket for front mount intercooler.

Still to do: Install turbo/mainfold, hook up all lines, install GTX injectors, BP26 ECU, install intercooler and piping... should be fun!

[Jovian2k]

Installed GTX water pipe, coolant feed and exhaust manifold/Turbo....

Tomorrow: Intercooler and piping, oil/coolant lines, ECU/injectors

[AaronTietje]

You've got a fun summer ahead of you.

[Jovian2k]

All lines connected, intercooler piping took some work but I'm happy with turn out - no bumper support or frame cutting and kept fog lamps







Installed injectors and ECU tonight... need exhaust done to get custom downpipe made up have magnaflow 2.5" Cat to meet up with pacesetter. Hope I can get it fired up tomorrow

[RobMinhas]

looking good. Did you get rid of the front support for the hood? The piece that holds the latch?

[Caleb T]

I'm jealous man! Looking gooood...

[RobMinhas]

Just noticed that you managed to retain your fogs with the front mount, wanna be the best guy ever and take some more pictures of your engine bay routing?
