2.4 Liter-Eagle/Weisco  
heavily used ACT 2600 w/6 puck  
100% stock Rx-7 driveline  
Twin China 50 trims  
$50 “Bo-Bo” manifold, mig welded, ugly, hilarious!  
JMF intake (thanks Jim!)  
Q45 TB  
1600cc  
DSMLink  
twin 2.5 DP’s to 4 inch made from scraps exhaust  
Modified $140 Ebay intercooler

LOL @ Twin China 50 trims

My buddy in Ohio sent me this… I guess if the twins don’t work (and they won’t) he’s going with a GT42…

Total investment of $5000 in parts…
