The Blue 85' Rex has been through a bit of a transformation. The original 12a blew a apex seal at the dyno (108 hp)and that was after the Dupont paint and 15 x 7 Panasport wheels w/ P205/50/15 BFGoodrich. So I bought one of the Japanese import 12a Turbo's off Ebay. It's controlled by a Mega Squirt stand alone computer. Thanks to Kenny H. for the tuning and patients. Progress page on Mazspeed site.
12A Turbo vs. V8 Super car
You've got to watch this!
Got some new interior goodies:
Autometer Boost Gauge and Oil Temp. Gauge
Sony WX-CS70 Dual deck Receiver w/ 6-disc Changer in glove box
Two JL Audio 8" woofer's in a custom box.
Two Pioneer 6x9's behind the seats w/ Carver Amp's underneath
White face gauges came from Ebay a while back.
Short throw shifter w/ 83' LE shift knob and leather boot.
Momo Race 350 mm steering wheel w/ Mazda emblem.
Painted and put a new pad on the dead pedal.
Tried the intercooler route... It never ran right. I used a Saab intercooler and mounted it right up front but either the computer or the intercooler couldn't handle the bigger force generated by the freshly rebuilt turbo (91' T2 compressor wheel)
So I had to go back to what really worked before. Taking a Mustang GT on the interstate up to 140 mph and leaving him, is what it's all about.
Just got the new BF Goodrich G-Force KDW NT. Wild design and Z rated. No more..I almost lost it when I hit second.
I got the Racing Beat Street port Dual Exhaust to go easy on the ear's. The steering and suspension components have been updated with Energy Suspension Polyurethane bushings. Tokico blue struts and shocks where they way to go for me. Had to get a GSL rear end so I could have rear disc brakes. I found a good deal on X-Drilled and slotted rotors on Ebay. Racing Beat has the front and rear sway bars covered. The Walbro 255Lph pump supplies plenty of fuel. I just couldn't help putting some up-to-date Mazdaspeed emblems and tag on it.

After breaking three teeth off the original 3.93 (84-85) Ring Gear, it was time to upgrade to the heavier duty 3.90 (79-83) ratio Ring and Pinion w/ Redline Synthetic.
I just installed my New Flex-a-lite 160 S-Blade Electric Fan. This thing is COOL! I've got it wired to run anytime the temperature is above 170* and it'll run even if the car is turned off. The car idles much better and cranks quicker also.
Just got some new parts that will hopefully address the lean condition I'm getting 4500rpm's and up..
AEM-30-4100 Wideband O2 sensor that will be mounted just before the muffler and the Gauge is going on the dash in place of the clock. It will communicate with the Megasquirt Computer and help in tuning.
This is about the best AFPR I could find that fits just right. It's the 13105 Aeromotive Compact EFI Fuel Pressure Regulator that is Adjustable from 30 to 70 psi. It's also rebuildable so you can configure it to the design you want.
This VDO-153008 1 1/2" Gauge mounted to the 1/8" port in the Regulator.
Walbro 255 LPH Inline Fuel Pump Supplies the Fuel.
This is currently in the works...
This is the X wife's car that I had to Get Back and then sell, Unfortunately.. It was an 85' GSL with 35,000 miles and had a back seat.
Love this One!!
She's at the bottom of Page 2 & 3 also...
