Thank you for the photos Nismo, made my day. Makes me truly appreciate how well all the previous owners have kept the car for it still to be in such good condition. Especially the interior.

Update:

Engine went to rebuild by Stevens Rotary last weekend. Gonna do a street port and re-assembled with all new mazda gaskets, RA 2mm super seals, new springs, bearings and gears etc, new water and oil pump, Gonna be a very strong engine.

Decided to go turbo, (one NA high comp rotor got damaged in shipping) got a haltech at a steal tuned for the setup below and tested on Stevens car which is similar

ordered a Borgwarner S360 turbo (good for 350-700hp), new SS turbo manifold, 800cc & 1600cc injectors, should be here next week.

Engine should be finished being rebuilt in a week or two (mostly delayed because I wanna see the build) and then taking the car down by Steven to install engine and haltech and run through all electronics/wiring, do the fuel system and prob install a water injection kit etc.

After that taking it by my old friend/mechanic; Mouse, to have him do all the millions of small things needed like installing the poly bushing kit, fit new driveshaft, bleed brakes and tighten up every bolt and nut.

Once that is all done the car should be driving and once the engine/turbo are broken in and all the small issues and leaks are sorted I'll send her to paint.

Would have liked to send her to paint before all this work. But kinda prefer to not have mechanics working on the car with a brand new paint job, dropping spanners and rubbing their belly and hands all over it :p But still have not decided on wheels and paint colour yet so, worked out for the best.

Post is booting without pics. Till then this is how she sits. Hopefully next time ya see her will be with her new engine in place.

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » September 4th, 2014, 8:31 pm

Just asking how much HP you expect and how much did it cost to build estimated?

Bezman · Postby **Bezman** » September 4th, 2014, 8:53 pm

Should easily hold 500hp, turbo only good for about 450 with the current exhaust side AR I am using. (I am not looking to push anything like that)

Cost... Prob quicker tell ya how my girl looks naked

Bezman · Postby **Bezman** » September 7th, 2014, 3:16 pm

Cleaned up the intake mani and removed all the emissions and water cooler etc. Removed the secondary butterflies from the throttle body and getting everything ready for the install.

Still have to get my fuel rails and regulator and I should be all good with the intake and fuel systems.

Bezman · Postby **Bezman** » September 7th, 2014, 3:33 pm

More on the fuel system. I'm going to be running an Aeromotive Phantom 340lph Intank pump with sump/baffle

Very impressive piece if kit. Check out some youtube cubs of it if you have time.

Above is how I'll be running my fuel system with the new rails and regulator. Slowly but surely coming to come.

Liked the idea of being N/A.

But damn though, it will be one epic build when completed man.
And it's never a bad thing to have some extra power.

Mani looks really clean! Saw this in a F.S. thread on the local tuner forum here in Vancouver and your build came to mind:

I think I'm leaning towards something more like this as far as paint is concerned.
