WHATS UP FELLAS and ladies

The name is Eric, im from pittsburgh....
ive been into mazdas since i got my license.....
i built a bp series motor, with a t3 turbo in my escort....
i currently drive a converted 6port rx7, into a turbo2.......
Streetported and polished motor, fd series race manifold
.60 1.15 t3/t4 turbo
ssqv
tial 38mm wg--> soon to be a 50mm wg
3" catback
2 1/2" downpipe with resonator
17*7.5 gunmetal adr wheels
and some misc stuff

The Seven- in need of major bodywork....
1st time i parked it, after i lost my license over a year ago...

old engine

you can see the original turbo, and all the debris from removing the smog pump...

as she sits now

i went to school at uti, i already had a good idea what i was doing, i just
went to get that piece of paper, so when i tell people they believe me..
anyway, took me 3mos to get the parts together, and 4mos total to build it....new transmission, new clutch, a few random sensors, alt pulley, safc wiring.... etc

Let me know what you think....

you and me both man,
ive driven it 4times so far....
1st makes 8psi by 7grand
than 2nd at wot she starts really working....ive seen the boost guage hitting 20psi, 2nd 3rd and 4th..
ive got a decent tune on the safc, wastegate and bov working flawless, reallly good pick up, cant push it right now, im like 2days from my license coming back in the mail....

Over all im happy with my build, its not the best in the world, considering i did it in the driveway, and i couldnt get around to get parts cause i didnt have a license.....so, everything was mail ordered---- cant find a good rotary place in the burgh....
but its even better when you think, i spent 500 on the car, and close to 3000 in turbo accs............
guess i lucked out on a 500$ car...(humpleg)

lol, everyone askes about that. I bought a plastic skull at some halloween super store, and left it on my dash....started the turbo build...and was like i need a guage pod...........huh....skull.....guages.........skull......guages.....

need to finish it but im still working the kinks out of the turbo setup......

Ill get some more pictures, when im tearing it down to fix the exhaust leak.....

and so far so good, these boards seam to be more mature than rx7club, everyone there is like.....up there ass, some hardcore rotor heads.....

and ill be lurking, i love cars, and fell in love with mazdas over 5yrs ago, when i picked up my escort gt...
ooh....speaking of which.....

this is the only picture of my old bp-series escort gt....the primer black car behind the audi....

dont know if anyone use to go to "escort underground" or club protege....
its equiped with a relic series front bumper, (from jspec land) full onderground kit, kat-back/headers/intake...seats from a 300zx, a tv and no rear seats...
later added door poppers,wheels, and a turbo kit.....

wish i still had this thing....
