Project: "Last RX-7" by Herblenny

[Herblenny]

December 6th, 2011 I got a call from my fabricator and he said he checked on the pricing for the Stainless 321 and going to order some for the new manifold set up. This means, my old SS 321 manifold with Racing Beat header flange is for sale!!! If you are interested let me know

Here are pics of my old flange set up!

Here are the pics and placement of the turbo.. Turbonetic T76.





In the car with Hinson 20B /Pettit Subframe with this manifold with Garret T76 with T3 flange.

T3 flange? That seems incredibly tiny for a 20B.

Its easy to convert to T4.. Just happens to be that T3 was on it when I bought it.

Info on T3 vs. T4... just in case

T3


T4

December 8th, 2011 - My fabricator/friend Walker Morgan has explain to me how he was going to build the new 20B manifold. We've decided to use bit more expensive, 321 Stainless for the new manifold. I'm excited to see how its going to turn out!! Until then, I need to start working on the wiring for the car..

Here is a translated DSSC wiring diagram... Only one in the WORLD!!!

How are the bolt holes 1.00? should they be between 2.37 and 4.30???

[speedjunkie]

It says they are .438 for the T3 and .406 for the T4.

Some of the numbers on the T3 diagram don't make sense though.

[Herblenny]

yeah I realized that after I posted that the numbers were weird..

I'm going to take detail pics of the manifold this weekend so I can sell it and make my new one. This one is made of 321... that I know for fact.

December 9th, 2011 - Today, I was thinking about stripping my MB FD and start thinking about what I'm going to do to the exterior of the car... I started looking over some old builds I did and thought about turning my MB to what my Blk FD last looked..

My 1st FD / my 'black fd' and how it last looked in my possession..





I'm going to start parting out the MB this weekend!!!

DIBS on the AutoEXE wing insert if it is not part of the plan!!!

The car will look much better wingless



Are you planning on going flat black again? You definately should because it looks AMAZING!

[RICE RACING]

RX7's look super gay without wings IMHO
Flat black looks cheap and nasty, worst finish I have ever seen on a car, not sure why people do this?

Anyway personal taste is like an arsehole, everyone has one

I hope you water inject the 20B and make 1000+bhp from it, make the ultimate performance car

I thought about wrapping the MB.. but its too much work.

Unfortunately, I'm going to keep the AutoEXE wing and maybe use it on the SSM.

Yeah it will look good on the SSM. I had to try

December 13, 2011 - I didn't get much accomplished over the weekend... Kid, wife, holiday season, plus my old house that i'm trying to get rid of is sucking all my spare time I have.

Yesterday, I finally ordered my new wheels for this car from WORK Wheels.



I'll most likely use these on the street and my RAYS/VOLK RE30s on the track.

WORK CR Ultimate is their newest Emotion Series that are much lighter and stronger than previous CR series. I'm super excited to get them and now they are available in 10.5 width.
