Hey guys. my name is Scott and im new to the RX scene. ive wanted one for a long time but was always stuck on 4 cyl or V8 trucks. i bought a 1987 RX7 non-turbo about 3 weeks ago. its was little fixer upper until about a week ago i had a fuel leak and caught on fire. minimal damage was done but there are somethings im still looking for and a sensor or something that im trying to figure out. im a mechanic but a rotary motor is new to me and im ready to get down and dirty with it. ive always wanted one and i got it and im not letting it go. im glad i found this and extremely impressed with everything ive seen. hope to hear from everyone soon.

Whats up! Welcome! If you dont want it to catch on fire from the engine bay i suggest you replace the pulsation damper on the primary fuel rails.

btw this will answer a lot of your questions.

lol np wish i had that guide when i first got into rotary

what are your plans for the fc?

KlownFC3S

well right now im gonna do the basic bolt ons, intake, exhaust and header. im either gonna lower it on coilovers or 1.5" springs with some body work and wheels. i plan on either doing a 2 gen turbo swap or a 3 gen turbo swap. my goal is to make it a street legal track car

hows it going Vert

had a question about the housing and manifold oil nozzles, do i have to use those or can i bypass them for now and reconnect all that later. just wanted to know and get an opinion before i made the wrong decision and ruin my motor

if your talking about the oil injectors then yes you can delete them. pineapple racing has a kit to block the oil injectors off. if you remove them you can remove the omp line but you would have to premix your gas with tc-w3 2 cycle oil i with a 1.5 ounce/ 1 gallon ratio. premix>engine oil imo..

but do no run the motor with the nozzles off cause there will be no lube for the apex seals

damn, it sounds like a headache already. all i have to do is find the vacuum split for them and rethread one of the line screws. i wanna do that but dont want to risk it quite yet

man it feels good to have my car back. it took some time but i did it and its running better then before
