fc slow turbo swap

rubenm199253 · 02-14-2010, 01:12 AM

well i got my car around christmas. it was ok but i just wanted this to be my baby and really fast so i had the car for about a week and then decided to do the turbo swap. im completely new to the whole rotary engine so this maybe rather difficult and i may have alot of sense less questions so i apologize any way a bit about my car

it is 1990 rx7 not sure if it gtu or etc because previous owner sanded it off also the previous owner did a wiring disaster inside he spliced switches to the headlight switch and took of the surround. also spliced the turn switches. i have learned alot since i got the car and first couple pics are going to be low quality because they were takin by my phone. but i just recently bought a camera so all the pics after this will be better quality

rx7 first come home

first day in garage

starting to disassemble motor

this was in my door panel if any one can tell me what the hell this is that would be awesome (kno it has something to do with sound but im rewiring my whole speaker set up so rip out?

ok here it starts with the better camera
this is my interior a little cleaned up

ok here is where the questions begin i took of all a/c stuff and all interior a/c out so that includes my heater core (buy the way FS) any way i also took out the plastic piece in the middle and noticed that there is a tube that comes from my radiator that goes inside well i thought that i dont want coolant dropping all over my floor board

so i was looking at the component tin the middle and noticed it had this radiator looking thing in it so i removed it and put it on but i wanted to see if this would work please let me kno if not will have to put the whole thing back on or is there something i can custom fabricate to make it work like this to where i wont have to have that big plastic piece? here is what i have done..

and i also painted my engine bay up a little.

The MA Audio thing in your door is called a crossover. It's for component speakers. The previous owner has Mid door speakers and Tweeters. The crossover separates the highs from the mids/lows.
