Boosted Big Body!
Here is what started off as a 1986 GXL. It's been a journey to say the least. I'm the 2nd owner & it now has 71k on the chassis.

Aren't your fingers numb for typing all them goodies wisely chosen? IMO, I would just state "I put in $**tload into the FC" to make it simpler and less strain to your fingers! Great choices, btw!
I want to try Jacob plug wires next! -8AN feed & -4AN return! Sure sound like you don't anticipate fuel deprivation to your injectors. My setup is -6AN feed -4AN return, good 'nough for my app. Interior upgrades I have chosen; Personal steering wheel and Nardi mahogany for a special occasion, I have chosen VDO mech gauges. So, did you swap diff mount? That's the only ones I didn't swap... one day.... one day heh Awesome choice of arsenal, if I may say so, BoostedFC! |
I want to do all poly mounts eventually. I almost got a Nardi wheel. I'm really thinking about painting the car black, re-doing the wheels in gold & have the lips black chromed. I actually want a more classy look. I need to find a set of buckets in bad shape, so I can have them reupholstered in black leather with gold stitching along with the shift boot & e-brake.

Sounds like a crazy rx7 Is it fast? It takes a little more tunning with fuel injection am sure. Top speed redline?
|
I'm trying the best to have a stock look, exception to an air intake slot I fashioned at upper bumper. Black is nice but 5 min of gratification after detailing is always disappointing...

Etimated power somewhere around 340 before the 150 shot of nitrous. Top speed well not sure how accurate the speedo is, but 150 mph was where I let out. Never have had the car above 8200 rpm. This car is not for speed, but more just so I can say I did it kind of thing. It holds it's own when need be. This car has power steering, AC, full interior & a bunch of stereo stuff. I actually most the car was done back in 1999, it was considered pretty quick then LOL. I need to get my turbo car done when I get another job. I'm shooting for lower 600 hp in a stripped & gutted 88. Trying to stay competitive with a couple of my friends & thier 650+ awd's

Have been screwing around in the garage over the past week or so. I have been taking down some measurements so make a small lip for the front, a set of side steps & do a rear diffuser set up for the Mariah. I'm also waiting on a friend to bring me two different brake set ups to see if I can maybe adapt them to my FC. One set is Baer & the other is Wilwood, I'm thinking my real problems will be finding the right rotors. We will see soon I guess.

Good luck with the brakes, I'll be watching to see what you do there. So far, my best course of action is a set of Powerslots out front with stock fronts on the rear, no clue which calipers yet though.
Quick q about the hood, did you do that out of preference or was there no other option? I'm thinking if I run into clearance issues with my setup(which I'm almost positive I will) that I'll try moving the scoop from one side of the hood to the other. |
Were you planing on supercharging or turbo charging? I had no issues with clearance under the hood with the supercharger kit until I decided to alter things & add components of my own. This hood will be swapped back to my turbo car & the hole will be patched. I plan on making a cowl type hood similar to the newer GT500
http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-5992378..._2144_25901190 As far as the brakes go the stock 4 pistons up front are nice, I'm just fiddling around. I plan on using the factory front 4 pistons on the rear with larger rotors like Higgi from another forum & one of the two caliper set ups from above. I may just do the Evo brake swap, not exactly sure at this point. I have a few plans other then the exterior & brakes I also need to attend to (interior) |
I'm blown with a Camden and a Holley 650 up top. I saw your fi setup and I'm curious about it because it sounds like you're making more power than I'm hoping for, by quite a margin.. That hood will look pretty awesome with the Mode 6, can't wait to see it!
