just some progress pics, still plodding away
1985 rx7 1uz turbo

- Start date
The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
just some progress pics, still plodding away
this is all the intercooler i can realistically fit without cutting up my chassis, plus wont need anything bigger really, its going to be on pump gas boost levels and i have water injection also
had to make an oil re-routing block to eliminate the stock filter housing since it does not fit in the car, plus i want to run external filters and a cooler, this routes the lines forward away from the steering, i will be mounting all that mess soon enough once the intercooler is hung in place
in short this is where its at now, about to begin electrical
Thought it would be a good deal ,but yes fitting in some cars would be fun.
that is a pretty engine, but odd as it may sound there is no room to do that in the gen1
there lacks about 3-4 inches forward and up to do any kind of standard install, and no amount of cutting will earn you that, there simply is not enough car.
the drivers turbo had to go forward and down so that the downpipe could turn to miss the steering, otherwise it would have needed an S in it, and there is no room for that, the pass turbo had to be turned so that the downpipe went straight out between the head and the strut tower because it cannt go down like the drivers side due to alternator, and its just...*&^&)))(& tight all over lol
if a person wanted to mod the brake booster and run a bulge/scoop/cowl hood, you could get away with the stock oil pan, but the engine would sit higher, and cause other problems for turbo plumbing, not so much for NA
there is no way in hell you can have AC on the car...not a chance, sucks too, because i live in the hell hole of the USA, right now its middle january and was 83F today...
also had to run internal gate turbos, because there isnt enough room for external gates and the plumbing, i mean really, it "could" be done...but it would be an absolute nightmare and its bad enough as is
and yes, no wiring on the engine yet
rolled it out on its wheels for the first time in a long time and gave it a much deserved bath, i think the corvette is jealous of the attention....

i still have to find a spark plug wire solution, meaning i need a wire that can fit down the tube and be custom length to go to my coil packs with GM HEI terminals on them, im thinking i might just use regular straight boot custom wire set and make or if possible buy a set of plug wire pliers that can fit down the 7/8" tube to install and remove the boot....any suggestions are welcome.
the tec3 uses GM twin post coils that will be mounted on the firewall behind each head.
