That's another issue. Making the kind of power these cars make today, the old school setups just arent sufficient anymore. You simply needed larger secondaries and a tune...it's very likely your engine would be okay right now had that been the case, and had you went with 3mm seals during the last build.

I dont see why people car so much about V8 swaps. Its his car, what does that effect you? ****, if anything its making your "pure" 7 worth more. Also, if he is thinking about doing the swap, do you really think your smartass comments are really going to sway his opinion?

Do you care if you see on TV news where somebody got robbed or had a car accident or something? Of course. But it's not your life...why?
To own one of these cars is to love it and so it is just natural not to want to see them get all screwed up with hack repairs, swaps, wrecks, etc. whether or not it directly affects you.
And yes, comments in a thread can sway an opinion. It's happened before...not too long ago actually.

The LS1 swap is reversible it you spend extra time and money to ensure it is so... and keep a lot of parts.
Anyways, good luck with whatever route you choose. If you do LS1/LS2, etc.. check out www.v8rx7forum.com. I have the same username over there. You can always IM me for any questions.

I have been running my car for 25k of track duty (no joke) i regularly use it on the nurburgring, silverstone etc etc.
I have mine tuned to 15psi on a PFC and its great, never had a single problem. Never skipped a beat, compression is still great.
My cars tuned to run consistent 9's AFR wise above 4k. Ive taken it to the extreme because i want it safe for track duty.
Hence, the problem isnt the PFC, or the driver...its the tuner
Next time a guy maps your PFC, ask him to try and peg the AFRs in the upper rev band a little rich. Itll lose you a few HP, but what are you more interested in, 10hp, or $4,000?
sorry to hear its let go again.

p.s im on 2mm seals and standard injectors. Recently cleaned of course No extra injectors.
Ive heard bad things about the 3mm, wlel not necessarily bad, just that they arent worth the money.

Wow Im glad you KNOW more about my FD than I do. I dont think a blown coolant seal is the same as a blown motor. Funny thing is I red your post after I just got done driving my perfectly fine FD. True I do have a bad coolant seal, but it's so minute she can go a good 160mi+ week with no problems. I dont know exactly where you get your info about my car but before you start posting at least get the facts right. My car is still running just like it always has thanks to Logans tunning and the Electramotive. So actually I'll be driving my car as soon as winter passes.
