OK, I'm going to try and get those pistons 3tech wanted to make, and then bore accordingly. Perhaps I'll be able to use those total seal gapless piston rings. |

Well, he says those will work but the quench will be a quarter of what it should be, and that he could machine them for $50 a set. But he also says he could make a set from scratch if there was enough interest, I'm trying to find out what the run size would need to be. |

They don't seem to cater to the consumer level crowd, do you have one of those laying around?

I'm embarrassed about how rigged it is. Also I haven't tested it yet. |

Ordered 0.020 oversize pistons from parts dino. From an MKII tracker. 3Tech is on vacation for a week so I'll ask him about possibly machining them when he gets back. Looking into ordering rings from totalseal. Ring sizes are: Top: 1.20MM Midde: 1.50MM Oil: 2.80MM Bore is 2.9134 inch + 0.020 inch overbore = 2.9334 inch bore. |

Awesome, I just found the tires for those two RX-7 spare rims - Continental ContiEcoContact EP - 145-65-15 - LRR - 44PSI UTQG: 240 A A - $66 a shot. They can be mounted on the rear, nice and thin and quite light, and leave plenty of room for a cover! http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ContiEcoContact+EP&partnum=465TR5EC&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes Opinions? |

Tofu, where did you get the trigger wheel for the MS? Also how did you set up the spfi? This is what I would like to do for my new turbo project. |

Pulled the trigger on the tires. Would you like my 32-1 trigger wheel? I'll sell it to you real cheap. I'm using a different method - the crank gear off a 98+ 4cyl. What do you mean set up the SPFI? I'm just using the stock turbo manifold and drilled holes in the head to accommodate the injectors. |

The block heater I installed looks exactly like this, but it was made in 1978: http://www.amazon.com/Kats-12010-Watt-External-Heater/dp/B000I8VKMQ/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1320668006&sr=8-19 It does in fact work! |

Is it necessary to run the turbo manifold? What is the benefit of using the 98+ setup? |

98+ 4cyl setup has a MS compatible higher resolution wheel (32-2-2-2). It's not NECESSARY it just makes it a lot easier as it has the provisions\fuel rail for the injectors. I can post pics if you want. |
