Iv put 800kms on it now and just about to put some big boost into it. Its super torquey and makes instant boost. iv been pre occupied doing some work on some turbo V8's and picked up a caged evo 9 shell to build a mate a car for world time attack. And just for a size reference that turbo has a 5inch dump pipe into 4inch.IMG_20121016_163356.jpg

Well still no pics or video's. Took it for a run the sarvo on 25psi low timing, thought I had clutch slip in 4th. after 3 runs in 4th I found it was frying the 245's. It was still pulling straight so I had assumed clutch, the old van would be sideways at the sign of wheel spin. This thing is going to be insane when I up the boost to its planned 40+psi. The Series 8 RX7 box feels ok, just needs the linkages adjusted to make 4th gear easier to find on down shifts. So far so good.

Its an hx40 pro, 7 blade billet compressor wheel and an 18cm rear housing. Love My holsets and borgwarners.
I just did a 4th gear pull from 3,000rpm to 6000rpm just to show how well this thing spools. Its on 20psi low boost and ridiculously low ignition timing.

Its out a little bit I think, but rpm is right haha. Will be winding up up boost in the next couple of days and feed some timing in. Might take it down the strip next W/E if all goes good and get some data logging done.
