So finally pulling the trigger. Decided to do everything at once since it makes the most sense over this winter
Turblown EFR 8374 IWG turbo kit
IDX 1750 injectors x4
Radium Rails, Regulator, Fuel Dampener
Walbro 535LPH fuel pump
Sakebomb IGN-1A ignition kit
Pettit Racing Intercooler Kit (SMIC)...
Soo finally an update
Over the winter we pulled the valvecover to check clearances between the cam and valve springs, while we were in there did an old school mod and jumped the cam forward 1 tooth on the timing chain. then did a compression check - went to 180 on all cylinders
Rebuilt the...
So some updates with the Mrs project
Picked up a full bushing replacement kit for the car as well as all new ball joints, tie rods springs struts etc
Winter has been cold here so working in the garage has not helped with motivation
Also bought the Mrs a micro BBK from wilwood to replace the...
So, not much to report on the car as of late
Fixed the overheating issue - stock Tstat was getting stuck - replaced it with a 165* fast acting, replaced the hoses while i was in there
Eliminated the smog air pump and associated components in preparation for an upgraded fueling system
Found...
350/325 @6k
had to retune due to my cat deciding to brick itself and clog the exhaust. New tuner. He didn’t like the injectors running at 110% like the previous tune, especially on 30 yr old factory components.
limited me to 85% IDC and basically run out of fuel at 6k so that’s the new...
i thought there was a check valve within the spill valve, meaning at an absolute minimum you get ITFP pressure.
Reading zero in one video and pressure in another leads me to go electrical. either theres a dead sensor or damaged wire somewhere
I hate electronics so thats about as far as i go...
Since my wife wont make her own build thread here, I will. Hopefully she decides to join and update as she progresses, time will tell
Since she has been very suppportive of my rather expensive project, last November she was able to source her own.
There are rules I must follow and she checks...
Its not much more than any other car, all the components were just sized correctly for factory levels without much headroom. It also depends on goals, im looking for maximum spool for street use
There is the rotary tax on components though, i thought the speed was expensive.
Turbo kit I am...

Biggest restriction in the system is the fueling windows. Stock turbos are good for ~12psi before becoming flamethrowers
The fueling im looking into should be good for 500-550, but the stock ports will become a choke point at 450 or so
Anything at or near 500 will require doweling and...
Well here we go.
So, back in 2016 I had to get rid of my MS3. Always wanted a rotary and never really saw the opportunity financially to pull the trigger until then. Fortunately the wife is just as nuts as I am and pushed me to get one regardless of how bad a finacial decision it would be. So...
I'm in NYc. Have a brand new one never installed. Sold the speed before building so it's just sitting. Would be willing to drive and meet you halfway if you want
