PS - I just acquired a Ford 2.3 Turbo engine, complete less turbo. <emperor> Everything is happening according to plan. </emperor> The M62 will perch on the base intake manifold, and a Truly Large turbo will go on the exhaust manifold. I've always wanted to try twincharging, even though my prior exp...

This is the *third* time I have tried posting. I am greatly annoyed right now, so I will ignore the two or three paragraphs I previously dedicated to the VW (twice) because it seems every time I try to post, the computer locks up. So, instead, here's some pictures. Clean Mazda: http://a440.ac-images...

Spot the nitrous!

I don't have a "dub", I have a VW. (Pet peeve)

It's a completely ordinary transportation appliance. It's slow but it has carried two complete all-up engines in the hatch, so it is worthwhile. I greatly dislike trucks.

So far it looks just peachy. Everything you need to adapt is widely available in the aftermarket. The non-lockup torque converter we're using makes it that much easier. (I haven't seen an aftermarket lockup setup that worked worth a damn, always very fidgety) The driveshaft will need to be shortened...

Hi, my name is Pete and I'm a gearhead... I was clued in to this site by a member named Dave, who sold me a somewhat used M62 supercharger. I drive a VW that gets about 35-40mpg, and an RX-7 that doesn't. The Mazda, at least, is modified "a bit". I'm at work right now, we have a sweet smal...
