Sounds like a possible good buy...

How is the interior? 
Do you have any problem with cooling or keeping it cool?
What wastegate, and bov?
lbs of boost and dyno numbers?

I think it's a great price. Let's hope someone else does too and buys it. I would like to move it quick to make room for the next project.  I have 20k in it.


It's never had a cooling problem. It has a 160 thermostat,but stays right around 176*.

Tial MV44 wg and Tial 50mm bov.

14lbs. and 18* timing. I haven't had it on the dyno, just tuned on the street. But if you search you can find several combos exactly the same as this to give you an idea. It's probably close to 600/600.

Thank you.

I can't remember who makes the headlights. I bought them about 5 years ago. The quality on them are not the greatest, but the look pretty good with the carbon fiber hood and all the other factory black trim.

The headlights look like rotary extreme lights, but I could be wrong.  Seems like a great car for the price.  GLWS.

Tried to view the video link and it comes up that the video is set to private.

Also while I'm here I have a couple questions.

In the OP you said its a LS1 short block, but in the build thread it states the block is from a 02 C5 if I'm not mistaken which would be an LS6. No big deal since the blocks are nearly identical aside from some oiling ports.

What kind of rotating assembly did you put in? Pistons, rods, crank, etc.?

Is the car just set up to run E85 or is there a dual map switch from pump gas to E85?

How many miles are on the clutch? Track/street launches?


Not really a question but I did find a youtube video of your car on a dyno, but no #'s where given, the title of the video was bdubs turbo ls1 rx7 I believe.

I am somewhat local, (Chicago) and seeing the vehicle is listed as a '93 no emission testing is required correct?

Lastly, any A/C, heater, power steering?

Z06's came with the LS6 block. Regular C5's came with LS1's

It's stock
Is the car just set up to run E85 or is there a dual map switch from pump gas to E85?
No fancy map changing unless you have hptuners. I can load a 93 or e85 tune in it.
How many miles are on the clutch? Track/street launches?
about 5k miles and maybe 5 passes at the track

Not really a question but I did find a youtube video of your car on a dyno, but no #'s where given, the title of the video was bdubs turbo ls1 rx7 I believe.
That was a local dyno day last spring. I had just got the car running and it was not tuned yet. I put it on the dyno just to participate. 7.5psi, 6* of timing, and below 10afr it made 390whp. Now it has 14psi, 18*, and 11.3 AFR. It's the running joke locally that you just got beat by a 390whp car. lol

You would have to check your local regulations on emissions
Lastly, any A/C, heater, power steering?
No A/C, the heater works good, it has a KRC power steering pump
