August 14, 200619 yr I finally got my RX put back together earlier this week and have been driving it a bit. Been going great, adjusting the timing and fuel pressure but keeping my boost at about 10psi. Hopefully I don't blow this engine because I've done a bit more work to it then the last engine. I'm now runing a SPFI shortblock from a '91 Loyale, rebuilt by me generation 2 turbo heads, Delta 260 cams, TD04 turbo, 3" TBE, Nissan 280ZX turbo injectors, AFPR set at 40psi currently, spyder intake, WRX TMIC, AEM CAI, and a lot of other goodies. Been taking it nice and slow, just breaking it in and doing the tuning to it before I decide to go crazy. I can already tell this engine is much more powerful then the last engine (stock EA82T longblock) and has more off the line thanks to the higher compression. Maybe by September I can take it down to Bandimere drag strip in Denver to see what she has, but until then, it's going nice and easy around town.
August 14, 200619 yr good to hear. only wish we could see that thing at WCSS8. sounds like a real runner. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
August 14, 200619 yr Author Since I'll be back in the PNW hopefully by WCSS9 next year, she'll be sure to make her appearance there. Obsidian Black pearl is the color of choice, along with gloss black body trim and smoothed bumpers (don't really care for the textured too much) painted gloss black as well.
August 14, 200619 yr sweet,it is always good to get something back on the road.good feeling it is....
August 15, 200619 yr Sounds like quite a ride-- exactly what I want to put together, except I want to keep oem small turbo. Must be very powerful-- hope this build stays together for you. Do you ever plan on having a pro track time for reference?

Well I got LOTS of pics, just none current with this engine combo but of th last engine. http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2171799040067339125uICvyJ http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2381973490067339125eJPOCR http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2832625290067339125qbmuhz Sounds like quite a ride-- exactly what I want to put together, except I want to keep oem small turbo. Must be very powerful-- hope this build stays together for you. Do you ever plan on having a pro track time for reference? Yeah I'm going to do some 1/4 mile times with it to see where I'm at with it. Also going to hit up an AWD dyno down in Boulder, CO for hp and tq numbers.
August 15, 200619 yr I'm jacking your thread:headbang: Never fear folks in the PNW, you will see a 89.5 black RX at WCSS8:drunk: Altho the mechanicals are all stock, its practically brand new under the hood. Plus, I've added a few cosmetic goodies that should catch everyone's eyes. So Russ, get it running good and painted soon. I want to see it sitting next to mine:brow:
