did you get that front mount in yet?

 

not yet, I've been too busy trying to get my dumb 1680cc secondaries to stage right

 

i did check the intercooler. I let the idle for like 30 minutes and start to smoke. Then took off the intercooler but there isn't much oil in there its like a residue its not like its pouring out or anything just like wipe the inside with your finger and you can fell it on your finger. I was talking to my cousin who has a DSM and works at a shop in columbia and he told me that there isn't even supposed to be that in there. He said it should be dry.

Does anyone know how to check to see if the igniters are good without that special tool needed to check them. i just wanna see if maybe my leading are going bad because i certainly don't its my trailing anymore. I mean can i check them with a multimeter??

 

Some oil in there is normal on rx-7s, because the PCV system bleeds excess oil into the intake, which then makes everything after that a little oily, but as long as it's not like wet with oil, it should be fine.

If you want to make sure it's not your turbo, you can hook up your intake to your intercooler, bypassing your turbo, but remember that you need the afm on the intake or it won't idle.

you can check the coils with a multimeter, it should tell you how to do it in the FSM.

 

What should i be looking for when i bypass my turbo?

 

the absence of large clouds of smoke

it could be the seal on the hot side of the turbo too... but I don't know how to check that easily.

does anyone have a spare S5 turbo lying around?

 

If the turbo oil seals are gone wont it smoke under boost bad. I know when I blew my last turbo it smoked a little while driving normal but alot when boosting

 

It would depend how badly they're blown.

 

It wasn't bad looking though. Always good to see some beaver. (just not at work lol)

 

Dead thread...

Who's down for a (cold) Fudds Columbia meet sometime this month?

I'll be there if people want to have one. I finally got my rx7 running the way I want and got all the nits worked out (aside from needing a new alternator, the old one is getting weak).

Ken

 

I'm up for it if it's after this weekend...

 

i am down but i cant guarantee i can be there until the weekend of with school and all.

 

I should be able to be at fudds next weekend

 

I'd like to get back into the group after years of being out of the loop. So I'd show up.

I posted this just before christmas, but got zero responses so here's an update...

The engine in my vert has blown a coolant seal (in addition to almost-shot oil seals) and now I really need to get it rebuilt. KDRotary has given me a ballpark of $4K and PFSupercars has $4800-$5K on their website. Both are highly recommended, but I'm hoping to work something out with some of you local rotary-gearheads to get it done cheaper (since I don't have that much $$!). Jason (Tofuball) has said he can do the rebuild, but dosen't have a place to work on the car (and neither do I really - just a gravel driveway, no cover).

What can we work out? PM me with ideas (firm quotes NOT required just looking for options at this point).

Thx,
Emory

P.S. I'm planning on coming to the Fudds meet on Sunday, so maybe we can talk then!

 

Dont go by PFS's website call Ray and let him know whats up with your car and what you want to do and he will work up an estimate and email it to you. Ray does awesome work.

 

Thanks, I'll do that. As I said, he comes highly recommended... Still would like to see about doing this with in-club talent, and I'm sure somebody here can do it right and could use some $$!

Another shop to try is rp performance at summit point (WV).

they used to be a big rotary shop in manasas. but then moved to summit point and started concentrating on miatas. Give them a call and see what they charge.

You can also always have rotary resurrection do it, but it's quite a drive, but his prices are cheap.

RP Performance still works on street cars -- actually they just expanded their shop to open an entire section for street specific stuff. An update to their website is in the works, but isn't quite out yet.

Give Bret or Kyle a call and they'll be able to help you out.
