Default t6 turbo ls6 FD3s Rx-7 with solid axle swap

Well after having my trex cammed ls6 rx7 for over two years now, I got kinda bored with it. I have had 4 different suspensions on it two engines and I figured I would step it up a notch this time round. I picked up a nice new syncrowave 200 welder to aid in my project and have been practicing like crazy with it and it hasn't taken much time to get good results. Well anyhow heres a few pics...feel free to comment on what I am doing but I dont have much done yet.

Got my sump done tonight. It was handmade from a sheet of steel. Cut it out with a jig saw and bent it in some angle iron in a vice.

For those wondering the turbo I am using is a borg warner s475. I plan to use a 44mm tial wastegate and am going to make equal length tubular manifolds from stainless steel.

I don't know which is more impressive: the car or the shop that's bigger than my house

Had to cut some ribbing out under the hood to clear the v band clamps. Its a grannys speed shop setup I used when I first put the car together 2 years ago. The exhaust will take a 90 and go straight back to the rear over the subframe on the pass side. Exhaust is 4 inch piping.
