This is a 1987 S4 Turbo 2. It was a Florida car and I bought it with
the intent to turn it into a track car. The engine & transmission
were rebuilt at 106563 in 2000. Transmission had the synco replaced
and centerforce clutch with FD fly wheel. Instead of replacing it
with a factory rebuild, the S4 motor was built to "cheat" SCCA
inspection. The engine has FD rotor, the shaft was custom balanced.
For durability, I chose to keep the OEM apex seal size and no
porting. Turbo was the OEM Hitachi with a major twist. I keep the
turbine wheel but CNC the compressor housing for a bigger wheel.
Objective was to give a linear curve for HP and Torque. These were
the handy work of Rally Motorsport of NJ. I believed my car was 2nd
to last they built before changing name to Bullish Racing and racing
Toyota for ¼ mile. My engine builders were Bert Gaertner & Kevin
MacVaugh. They chassis dyno the car at 227.8 HP @ 6500 rpm, 199 lb-ft
Torque @ 5500 rpm, boost was kept at factory level, 5 psi. All these
were done with the OEM 2 inch exhaust, cat, mufflers, intake, TMIC
with OEM airbox, and OEM ECU.

The car received these additional upgrades after motor work. I had
new (not rebuild) front/rear calipers with master cylinder with SS
brake lines, and clutch master & slave cylinders with SS clutch line
from Mazda installed. Suspension setup is coil-over with Koni &
Eibach springs, with Racing Beats sway bars & end links. I couldn't
recall the spring set but I followed Mazda Motorsport recommendation
based on the T2 IMSA suspension. I was extremely fortunate to locate
a pair of HKS front camber plates for the car. The rear toe bushings
were replaced as well as wheel bearings. The job was done by RX7.com
in Texas. The car has Fluidyne radiator with OEM water pump fan. Rear
diff were recently rebuilt, pulsation damper replaced, eccentric
shaft was plugged. All service works were done by KD Rotary in PA.

Exhaust is nothing special and it was replaced only two years ago. It
is a single muffler SS pipe, instead of dual muffler. I simply want
less weight on the car. The OEM rubber TIC finally cracked and I
replaced with Banzai aluminum TIC with K&N cone filter. FD fuel pump
installed, as well as ECU upgrade. It how has Rtek v1.5, s/n 1235.
These last set of upgrades push the boost to a bit over 7 psi. You
can figure out the new HP figures.

With all these works, the car still pass NY/NJ emission test. Most
recent record of NY (NJ 2006) emission test were

2004 2005 2006
HC 0.73 0.78 102
CO 10.7 9.7 0.33
NOx 1.1 0.76 283
CO2 14.2
O2 0.4

The car did not have perfect interior to begin with and I wanted to
upgrade this piece last. It has the OEM interior but didn't have
glove box or rear storage bins. The car has a Autopower roll bar. I
added VDO boost gauge and Autometer fuel mixture meter on the A-
piller. The logicon has a behavior problem, so does driver side
window switches. Both units can be rebuilt.

The sunroof panel begins to bubble and I have spare part for that.
Cosmetic upgrades were hood-scoop and left front pop-up light cover.
The A/C compressor was new and cold. However when I installed the
unit, I was ¼ lbs short on R-12 freon. The 7 is year round kept in
garage and covered and it was my summer "fun" car. It was used 3
times per year at auto-x simply to meet Mazda Motorsport team support
requirement.

Problem(s) – aside from the interior I had disclosed above. Recently
the car developed strange idle problem. The low idle is fluctuating
between 1k to 1.5k. It was like someone pumping the accelerator.

Vehicle current mileage - 135009
Current location – Central NJ (in the garage of cause)

Reason selling – like others on the forum I am no exception. Life
changed -> got married having kids. These days I am spending more
time at Home Depot, Babe R US instead of the garage under the hood.

The car is AWSOME project car if you choose to continue my work or
strip it down for the high-end parts, its all upto you. Your purchase
comes with, JDM TMIC, some spare parts, A032 tires and all kinds of
manuals. I have folder full of paper trail on this vehicle. As in
price, how about everything you see here for $5000? I am baseing the
price on what will cost someone to get all these performance parts on
the net, piece by piece. You can make me an offer as well....

Please email me at samnt650@... for details. Photos of the car is
located at Flickr and I will continue update these photos over time.
If you want to see something specific, please contact me. THANK YOU

I forgot to mention, the car had new rotors put in around Oct/Nov
last year, with Hawk HP10 Front, Blue Rear. So anyone want to try
his/her luck on the track, its ready to go
