Well heres what you call progress if thats what you call it. I now have about 5k on the set up and the only problem i have is, a few oil drips here and there and the 14b is still holding strong. For some reason idk, im burning about 1qrt of oil every week or so. Mind you my car is always in boost and im always kinda hard on her. Im prett sure its my pcv valve being stuck open? I have changed it to a new one from autozone and it worked for a few weeks but it crapped out already and im back to burning oil. So i think i need a more proper crank case venting soloutin?? Anyway, with the 14b I just never got around to putting a bigger turbo on yet. My car runs great and im enjoying it for the summer months. The 14b pulls pretty hard with a 2.4 block. Spool up is instant. I can hit 17psi by 2,500rpm in 2nd, 22psi(no boost controller) by 3,500rpm in 3rd and not sure about 4th, but in 5th at 65mph at aprx 2,600rpm ill hit 16psi max by 3,100rpm. Anyway, if anyone has questions about my set up, let me know and i an help you out the best i can! Who knows, i might end up selling my car for a 3rd gen RX7 so i can swap a LS1 with T56 6 spd trans, so instead of making your car work, you can just buy mine and be done with it?
