The cut wrench is a gotta have for the EGR pipe. I tried too many times with out it.
I was thinking about using a hone of sorts on the insides. We'll see how that pans out....

Engine management will be MSI parallel. I've already have the COPs installed. I still have to chase down some injectors, but mine should be good for a bit. I have a Godspeed radiator and eBay 12" slim fans in for cooling and an oil cooler on the shelf just in case. Still have to calibrate the OPG though.
I've planned on going turbo for a while, so a lot of supporting mods are already taken care of. Rollbar, FM rails, cooling, suspension, brakes, harnesses, Sparco wheel, lightening, gauges, racing seat.... All that good stuff is done, just waiting on the turbo....
I've slowed down a bit, but it's getting there....

So the project is back on. I didn't make any progress for quite a while. Work has been on and off so the cash hasn't been there to by my new MS. The good news is I met an RX-7 guy over the weekend. Not only did I buy a set of 460's for $10, but I've got his BEGi FMU until I get my next MS. So the build is on again. Been chasing all the little pieces. Just a few more to go and it's assembly time. Pics to come....

Got all my flanges finished. Yes, I cut my own flanges. I couldn't disappoint you guys by going and buying 'em.... 3" - 2 1/2" adapter ready to fit.
Just installed the FMU. Headed back to adjust fuel pressure....
