Phil,

That is one very nice RX-7!!

I have always been a big fan of the C-West kit and when combined with a black car, it just looks evil!!

Also, the addition of what looks to be a Mazdaspeed bonnet is great.

The engine bay has come up nice too, I take it from the blue piping it has an Apexi cooler? and also I love the cage, just makes the car look very serious.

Shaun.

G\'Day Shaun,

Phil has just had a nice rebuilt engine, turbo, and MoTeC set-up.

He is now running a mild port, T51R KAI turbo, and M800 ECU.  It is being run-in as we speak.  Can\'t wait to see/hear it.

[HIRISK]

Awesome,

Thanks for the update Glen.

I love the HKS T51R, it is just such a well developed and built turbo. Combined with the Motec and engine rebuild, this car is going to be a serious animal!!

Do you know if Phil managed to source the limited production Ball Bearing version of the T51R?? They produced a limited number in both the KAI and SPL versions.

Thanks,
Shaun.

I think Phil\'s in the Journal Bearing type, didn\'t know they did a BB type - that would be lovely.

Phil has said that it boosts up very nicely as it is, be very interested to see the power figures also.

Should be the most powerful FD here in the UK I think.

[Fooboy]

Awesome car.

I hope that one day mine can look as good as that!!!

[Matt Gibbs]

I\'ll get Phil to add to the thread, but this is from an FDUK posting...


Had a the tuning session finally, at Abbey Motorsport home of many GTRs. Not enough sleep & up far too early (Sorry to Geff/Chris) the RX was hooked up to a Dynopak and Geff from Reworx got to work.  Much tuning, coffee, ciggies, deaf ears later & the shivers (t\'was like tuning in an fridge) and the results started coming.  As that RPM increased, so did those magic numbers resulting in a smooth power output from 3000 steepening at 4.6K to 8K.

The //www.reworx.co.uk tuner wasn\'t messing, was his usual diligent self and impressed the hell out of me, def. worth the wait. Abbey Motorsports-friendly, flexible, knowledgable & would go back again.

So what did I get, beside a very drivable, powerful car, with further power on tap?

Boost 17.6PSI - 491bhp @ Fly / 408bhp @ Hubs
Torque was a healthy 331ft/lb @ 5.8K

More to come soon, will be interesting if we dial in some more
boost/fuel.

Now shall I cook dinner or tweak the Traction and Launch Control and get a rush of this boost again, hmm that easy:

.. where\'s me keys

Phil, good figures, and I take it that with it only reading at 1.2BAR of bbost you still have some to go?

Also looking at the bottom of the maps, you went to Abbey Motorsport what did you think of them?
