I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I thought you guys might be interested. It sounds like he's cannibalized a TPI engine (boo) but he ended up with a pretty cool car.

It's got some good pics of the turbo manifolds too.

That car looks pretty sneaky!!

The motor looks pretty solid, and I like the headers. I wonder what he'd run if he invested in a decent set of heads. I also wonder how the hell he gets traction with those skinny tires.

My bet is that he doesn't. I had a Datsun roadster (2000) that had a 302 F@^d in it & w/o slicks all I did was haze the tires until 3rd gear.

That is a pretty wicked setup. I have seen Rx7s with SBC but never a twin turbo one like that.
