find out why the computer doesn't know the engine is running! :)

i used to know some guys back in the Bronx that ran rears from old Datsun trucks because of the thicker axles and the torque-biased gearing, so maybe that's why he's running a Datsun rear (i'm sure it's not a truck because the wheel fit under the fenders, and i don't see the 6-bolts for the wheels) - but maybe he found some old datsun car, like the 810 (original Maxima or something) ... i'm just speculating ...
can someone explain this "welded/locked distributor"-thing that i heard mentioned in an earlier post? i've never heard of this before, and i'd like to know what it is and what it does. ps i love the interior of that black car (the snotty guy) |
Locked out= no advance= you don't blow your car up under boost from too much timing.

Originally posted by diabolical1 okay, now i'm really confused ... wouldn't you want the timing to be more retarded with increasing boost? maybe i just understand it ... :D It's the cheap and easy way to do it, without the frills. |
Here it is again! This is the second time i see that k&N carb cap (the dohicky that hooks the turbo into the carb) on a rotary!!! Where did he get that from?!

Haletch uses ALL GM sensors, god and I thought Id never put anything GM on my car :(

Originally posted by Directfreak You are correct. However, since you can't do that with a stock dizzy, you set the Maximum timing under boost conditions, and then the timing will be *really* off (slugging) off of boost. It's the cheap and easy way to do it, without the frills. gotcha, now! thanks:cool: and thanks to felix wankel, too! |
Jesus christ almighty!! What a car!! :D :D :D

PS - Its $165.99 from Summit Racing, I called :). I decided to just build my own cold air intake for that much :). |
:withstupi maybe a dumb question, but is that the blow-off valve next to the alternator?

Bonnet?
|
Bonnet = Hood, or cover in "funny talk" as I like to call it. I assume he means bonnet as in the carb's "cover" :).
~T.J. |
Originally posted by Directfreak Yes. They attached it to the bonnet rather than the IC piping. As I previously said... Sloppy. |

Struth, give a bloke a fair go... CRIKEY :D

Man you guys are bored.. I go to sleep a few hours and come back :) LOL
|
fair dinkum.
I've only heard bonnet to mean the thing covering the engine compartment a.k.a. hood, so the bit about him connecting it to the bonnet- ah, nevermind. Stickers, anyone? |
:D :D :D

Is it just me, or is there no air filter on that car? I mean, shouldnt it be on the turbo inlet? I was thinking it could be in that box before the air hits the injectors and what-not, but wouldnt you want the air filtered before it goes through your turbo and intercooler? Someone explain please :)...
~T.J. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...chmentid=20421 PS - In this pic, you can see both the box Im talking about, and the front of the turbo, so you can see both of the places I think it could/would be...Personally I would run some cold air intake duct work up to the front to match all that other shiny duct work :). |
Yeah, he probably just took it off while he's at the track. Not a very good idea IMO.
|
Revhead and rotor - When you are making 500+hp and running low 10s using 25psi+, an airfilter has to flow a shitload and has to NOT get sucked into the turbo...
Most DONT flow air and some ENJOY getting sucked into a turbo... :D |

I was just wondering, because one of the best carburated setups I have ever seen was on Carlos Gonzalez'z RX-3. He has a holley setup on a 13b-re and a Turbonetics T70 series Turbo with a Greddy Type-C wastegate. He's running alcohol and all he has is a street port! 8.435 seconds @ 157.45mph You can reconize the cap, but it has been modded, you can see the beads of weld around the top and sides of it. But its polished! Too bad i cant post any pics. No scanner. |

Stickers, anyone? :crackup: me me me! i was thinking hood too. if he does have a filter it is probably a cone and sits in front of the intercooler/radiator. that is where his piping disappears to. |
Oh,,yeah ,, and don't forget to change the blinker fluid too.. lol Hey steve,,,12a what do you think about that ,,mate ..??? And hows your car doing these days.
anything new ?? |
Originally posted by REVHED I don't see how there's anything wrong with mounting the BOV on the carb hat. IMO it's proberbly better that way since it places the BOV nearer to the actual point of reversion. |
Originally posted by mark perez Oh,,yeah ,, and don't forget to change the blinker fluid too.. lol Hey steve,,,12a what do you think about that ,,mate ..??? And hows your car doing these days. anything new ?? My car is having a much deserved rest :D Its also getting a new gearbox (the old one was knackered, the oil was black and couldnt get 1st gear! :D) and also a new twin plate (old one had blue plates and a buckled pressure plate) and once back together will be back on the street just taking it easy :D |
I am glad to hear she's going to take a break Steve. She's earned it.
I know there are cars faster that 10.19 out there, it's just that for a daily driver 12A, - it's pretty damn cool! |
Originally posted by AJC13B Its also getting a new gearbox (the old one was knackered, the oil was black and couldnt get 1st gear! :D) |
It also looks like one could eat off of it too.. clean,,i don't
know about the location of the shifter though,,but thats just me.. I wonder just how much difference there is about the toyota - vs- mazda transmissions,,,if its gearing,or stronger innards and or case,or both.. I trip, that a toyota would bolt up,and the starter lines up correct. |

At the risk of pissing Moremazda off, you can also get fully cast and machined bellhousings to fit the Celica/Supra box on a rotary here in Aus. :D Apparently the boxes are quite strong and there's a good range of ratios available for them.

am i the only one who looks at that pic and out of everything notices the tree airfreshner?

Jeesus, you can get EVERYTHING, AND ANYTHING "OVER THERE, CAN'T YOU?!!!!!! Haha.... no.... j/k sounds cool... Jeff |
Originally posted by jeremy am i the only one who looks at that pic and out of everything notices the tree airfreshner? OHHHHH.... have you smelled the "new car smell" tree air conditioner? It's great stuff... my friend has one in his '83 Buick Skylark.... the air freshener's worth about as much as the car... My rex has 8 tree airfresheners in it, covering up the smell that 22 year old cars tend to get after sitting by a hay shed for a year... :D I'll look for a pic.... Jeff |

Originally posted by jeremy am i the only one who looks at that pic and out of everything notices the tree airfreshner? https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...&postid=934718 (also note the shift knob position... it now has the stock knob sitting up about where the HVAC controls are :D ) |
Here's a somewhat better one.... (note much better shifter placement relative to steering wheel)
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...&postid=934792 |
or you have to have the white fuzzy AIR FRESHENER dice :D
I have those in my truck :D Jeff |

Directfreak:
I think my question was where i could get that K&N intake cap....and it was awnsered...with where i can get it. After that i was just noting that this Drag Racer from the IDRC has a 9 second Rx-3 with the cap that i asked about wich is also on that black car. Jrios: 7 seconds! Holy shit! 18 psi, HOLY SHIT!!! |
