im back in an FC!!

[88turboii]

i ended up junking my last FC becuase of rust damage and multiple rust holes in the body causing fumes to be sucked in the cabin, and it was basically a piece of crap. I then found a good deal on an FD, built it up, but never really liked it that much. Started looking for another FC and a friend hooked me up with this 1986 FC without engine or ems. it has manual rack, manual windows, LSD



i still have all the parts from my last fc.. tein's, S4 TII block, 60-1 turbo, sideskirts, S5 bumper, etc.. im going to swap all those on and use it for drifting and track days. and repaint it white. im going to try to do it on a factory ECU too.. AFM tuning

i tore out the interior last weekend, smelled like dog piss and i found a couple rats nests in the process




here she sits with shocks and brakes removed..



out with the old, in with the new. TII brakes F+R, TII slotted rotors, Tein Flex coilovers




I went through my spare engine parts and pieced together a stock port S4 TII block.. rebuild parts are on order, going with RA apex seals

[88turboii]

rebuild parts came in today

You could have had an SA!

Any chance you'll have it ready for B3R?

You can always get parts from your brothers car! LOL!

[diabolical1]

there's just something about looking at a bunch of new parts.

[88turboii]

i htink it should be ready for b3r

the block is mostly built, just a stockport s4 TII block made with spare parts. instead of oem coolant seals, i used .093" square viton cord just to see if they work out also went with turblown's stud kit

How was installing the turblown stud kit? Pretty simple to just swap em out for the tension bolts and call it a day?

yes super simple, they are threaded on both sides, but have an allen wrench fitting on one end to make it easy to thread into the front iron, then you just torque the nut to spec

I need another FC in my life. Been heavily considering it for a track car.

whats the plan for this one?

Sweet, didn't know if they were stock sized or if milling was needed. I will probably go this route on the next engine I put together....

yes its a track car. my only complaint is it has a sunroof and i cant fit with helmet, need to take it out

i was going to assemble the front cover stuff yesterday, but i used a GSL-SE e-shaft and cant find the front bolt for it, ended up ordering one from mazdatrix, so will have to wait

also, i found a haltech e6k.. so new plan is to try to run two ID2000 injectors and block off the secondaries. hopefully i can get it to idle and cruise on the 2000's and not have to deal with staging problems. the fuel system will be pretty simple with just a single rail, i will probably run an a1000 regulator, and a walbro 400. im going to try to keep the factory resistor relay for knocking down the voltage at low loads. Also going to run FC coils with bosch ignitor

so you have the "im too tall for Rx-7s, but I like them too much to worry about "safey"" thing i do.

[88turboii]

haha exactly
