This is my "daily" but has somehow ended up the most impractical daily driver ever.
Picked it up with 169 000km stock, very well looked after.
was allright for a while then copped interceptors lovells springs front and back and new shocks front and back, 2.5 exhaust and extractors also threw a lsd in the ass end for some fun.
At this point it looked good but sounded terrible and was also slow as all hell.
stayed like that for around 1.5 years in that time i managed to collect the parts to throw a rebuilt t3 turbo, turbo manifolds, 3" dump and exhaust, intercooler and injectors - thats much more fun! ran on 8psi for 10 or so months, killed two autos then i cracked it, no more autos
while it was off the road the standard turbo started too look boring, picked up a t04 garrett from ebay, also fitted a turbosmart 38mm gate screamer, mild wade cam ported head... auto was still stuffed and turned out the turbo was too...so the car was off the road for a while
Picked up a mx7 manual from a bt1 new heavy duty clutch, matching blue manual surround and everything else needed all factory turbo parts, which fixed the transmission problem
Having cracked the shits with the T04 decided to bite the bullet, garrett gt35/40. .50 compressor and got a .85 external turbine, perfect!
Fitted it up to my standard manifold with a 10mm spacer plate, and weld up a dump pipe, went well on 7psi 183rwkw in fact although the injectors had maxed out. in that time also installed surge tank and two standard turbo pumps
Solution to this was to pick up some skyline gtr 440cc units and a Haltech e6x, while i was at it a Jd customs plenum was also purchased.
Increased the boost too 15psi and am loving it, yet to see any dyno time so its on a to what i have decided is a "safe tune" untill i can get it too jpc.
1st gear is now wheel spin, 2nd gear is the same story and 3rd gear can be a little intresting depending on the road and number of people in the car. not bad for a standard 190 000km n/a bottem end
Hoping to run 18-20psi and develop around 260-300rwkw.
and also hoping to find a set of turbo hubcaps and maybe a respray
not sure what it would/could run down the 400m but hopefully around 12 something street tyres/fuel etc
let me know what you think.
