Theres just a bunch of junk parts I had laying around. The FD spares are actually a very nice aluminum wheel made by Enkei.

 

they are over-priced due to drift tax.

 

Also the 2nd gen spare was made by enkei. Doesn't change the fact its a spare dude. And are you trying to say your planning on making 500 with junk parts. Just curious as to what your plans are for 500?

 

in PR they have used the fc and fd spares with streetbike tires for years and years for straight line cars. js.

 

you should listen to the wise people on this forum, they know pretty well how to price an rx7, hell, according to them my FD is only worth about 10k if anyone will even buy it for that...

 

No problem, thanks guys.

 

Ok I guess let me give you this word of advice. I myself am one day going to shot for 500. Right now I'm at a very reliable daily drivable 327 HP 301 TQ. The only reason I don't daily drive is my work provides me with a company vehicle.

When you hit around that 500 mark in a rotary their are certain things that should be done internally to the motor to ensure your going to last under continuous applications of stress.

List of thing I plan on adding / changing in order for myself to hit 500
Large Streetport
3mm seals
Motor doweled <--------------- 100% should be done at that HP level
HKS T04Z
1300 secondaries
850 primaries
dual supra pumps
50/50 water/meth injection
vmount setup


My current setup

-Stock motor 74k Original miles
-Stock twins running non-sequential via PFC
-Greddy pulleys
-Pineapple Racing idler pulley
-K&N filters
-APEXi AVCR
-APEXi PowerFC /w commander
-full turbo back exhaust to RE Amemiya T/A dolphin tail muffler
-Supra TT fuel pump (relay wired)
-Efini Y-Pipe
-Trust SMIC
-Greddy Elbow
-J-SPEC 5 speed transmission

Hope that makes sense in what I was trying to ask you.

 

Onto the spare issue what some people do in PR is insane enough. A good portion of the braking of the car comes from your tire. Even if it is a streebike tire. The amount of contact surface is minuscule, preventing you from driving the 2nd gen at its full potential. But if you want to drive in a death trap cause its cool then by all means go right ahead.

 

 

Not to start causing problems, but i feel there are a few things in here that i wont be doing when i get my t2 back together and im curious as to why you would. For starters, why dowel and not pin? I have the Banzai oil pan brace right now as a small structural support and im going to see how helpful that is in the 3-400 whp range before i decide on dowel or pins, but im just curious why you are doweling. Ill admit that i know relatively nothing about either, so this is more for my awareness than to flame you. Secondly, why a T04Z? there are much newer, more efficient turbos out there, that do the same job, only better. I understand that the TO4Z has come down in price especially when compared to the newer turbos, but i dont think that at this point price should be an issue... maybe thats just me? As for your injectors, you can get 4 1600cc injector dynamics injectors for ~500 bucks. thats plenty of fuel for anything "street" driven, plus theyre one of if not the best injectors on the market. they stage well and should have no issues being controled by your apexi. The last thing is just me and a select few other people i guess... but when i do my setup for AI im just going to be running water, no meth. It'll be pre and post turbo injection. Im really not a big fan of adding "fuel" to the system that is not being measured and taken into consideration by the haltech. I know most people just buy the 50/50 jugs from walmart for a dollar or two and they work fine, im just saying for my piece of mind, i want all my fuel coming from the tank.

BTW Buddha, when are you gonna be completed with some of this stuff. its been to long since ive seen your car. Also Bustn, where the hell are you hiding.... I dont believe i have ever seen your FC
