I would not want to deal with nitro methane, I was trying to walk threw the pits of top fuel and just warming up the car you could not breath or see anything.

its too bad they dont sell E85 in a 85% ethanol, 15% C16 formula :bling:

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

Well, E98 is blended with Race gas, so the 2 percent gas is 110 octane.

The only reason they seem to dilute it is so idiots don't drink it.

I do believe that testing has been done, and E85/C16 mix didn't seem to work too well.

Get that thing on the dyno tomorrow and bring it up here sat for street legal event and see if you can run down Matt's 2JZ powered Probe.

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

Hey guys, Thanks for takin time to show us the car today. Looks REALLY nice!

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

It is on the dyno right now.

We are only going to get it dialed in on WG pressure for tonight.

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

Well crank it up tomorrow. 8.6 ET is the number to beat!

These guys^ though it was in a miata :lol:

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

so when is the kit swap kit comming out? lol

Very nice! I can't wait to see what this thing does. Are you backhalfing the car? What suspention/rearend are you going with?

Thats funny about the miata... though that would also be fun!

where did you guys manage to find that car with a blown motor?

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

oh also, how did you guys decide to go with a 4G64 vs a 4g63 or G4CS?

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

No backhalf as of yet. Probably solid axle Ford 9" or similar and 4 link setup unless we can figure out a way to maintain the rx7 suspension.

Just curious, but is there a reason you cut out the front half of the wheel wells under the hood? I noticed it yesterday at the Cookout, and couldn't really find a reason for it just by looking at it. Other than the maybe, 5 pounds you shaved out.

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

That is factory actually, there were plastic shrouds there that we had removed.

E98 is good stuff. No knock, relatively cheap and smells good to boot. Tough to start the car when it's raining or humid outside though.

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

is that because ethanol is hygroscopic?

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

I don't think that's it necessarily, that seems to be more of a concern for storage. I don't think it happens that quickly. I put in a few gallons of regular gas to richen it up a bit since my laptop wouldn't connect and it fixed it immediately.

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

Wow, a fd with a dsm heart :D. I want to see some results from that bullseye (turbo with extended tip right?).

Re: The MAPerformance 4g64 Powered FD RX7 Project Overview
 

Correct. We ran into a small torque converter issue, but look for some numbers as soon as we get it back!
