Project Sleep-R - Bedlined 79 RX7 Turbo 5.3 fun

[Burntz]

Ordered a PTC Converter. Its their cheaper model but he said he has customers in the 8's with it. Should work just fine for me!

I need to order a line lock and I'm pretty sure I want to grab a 2step as well. Who runs what and what are your opinions?

[forcefed86]

Was it the 10"? Whats one of the cheaper converters cost these days? Think I paid $450 last time I ordered one... great converter for the $ IMO. 

[Burntz]

Yup its a 10" converter and they still cost $450 + shipping haha.

My invoice said something about 10" th-nitrous. The guy I talked to didnt seem that bright and they mispelled my last name too. Makes me a little nervous lol. I better not have to send it back 

Supposed to be 50's out next week though. Think I'll get it in, some new couplers on and try to get some better tuning in since Justune fucking blows at tuning.

I know a couple guys running that local and they love them. Zbrown ran one initially too and liked it.

[Burntz]

Well that makes me feel a bit better.

What're you running for a 2step and linelock?

I'm trying to think of what else I may need to be decently quick on the street this year as well. My rear suspension setup kinda sucks but its either go big or go home, so I'm not really sure what to do about it for now.

[forcefed86]

All that stuff is built into the MS3 I use. Progressive boost/timing control are really what is needed for a "big power" street car which is also on the ms3.

 The weights are pretty screwy on v8 1st gen swaps. You'll most likely need to add 100lbs or so the the rear to get it to hook well. If you still have the SA rear bumper, it's pretty easy to slide a bunch of lead in it. I believe the grannies speed FB initially had 150lbs of lead or something nutty to hook well on the street. And that was without a bunch of BS turbo weight. 

[Burntz]

I definitely follow your build. Where did you get the weight from?

[Burntz]

Oh btw, if anyone wants to help a broke post college kid lol. 100% it would all go to debt. I make what little I spend on my car doing side work in addition to regular work.

Purchased. Should help my slow little street car.

That is cheaper than I expected it to be, good luck with it

Looks like you are gettijg serious with the build   

Good thing about the PTC is that they will work with you to get the converter right. Ive heard real good things about that $450 converter,great price and performance. Plus if you decide on the $850 converter down the road, they will buy the $450 from you to give you credit.

The QA1s are a great choice, its good that you bit the bullet instead of buying single adjustables and then having to spend money on double adjustables down the road.

If you are going to go higher on boost you may want to think about bigger injectors and switching to E85. Also, I dont remember what fuel pump you are running but Im currently running the Magnafuel 4303 and its awesome! It does not even overheat on the street with continous use like my A1000 would.

If you jeed any help with the tuning , just shoot me a message.

Also, if you end up getting a transbrake let me know, I'll send you my blueprints on my homemade bumpbox. I recently tested it and it works very smooth.

Iv heard good things about PTC too and I'm excited to get the converter in. My current suspension -- adjustable tokicos and cut 150lb eibach springs -- is freakin terrible so I had to do something. The double adjustable should hopefully get me to where I want to be. I would like to be pretty competitive in the street class at No Prep this year. I just dont have the power to compete in other classes I don't think but we'll see.

I do plan on going E85 but I need to get a bigger cell. Also, these 80 lb injectors ... idk. "justune" tuned them as 60's and finally got them to work but I dont really think he knows wtf hes doing. The other injectors data is basically stock data that he tweaked. They're definitely 80lb siemens though and "should" be enough with e85 for the power im going to make. I have two side by side inline walbro 255's, so they should be enough pump as well. I will definitely be messaging you again once I get some stuff done and get back to tuning. Consistent 50*'s out here so I hope to get alot done this week. I wont be going with a transbrake unless I go with a powerglide (if the th350 breaks). And if I start getting into that stuff I'm definitely going ms3pro which does it alllll.

Did you ever find out?
