got motor back from robert , rw 7 . turbo , ex . man , . lower intake and therm. stat housin . on .....spool n soon . park it jinx

picked up my turbo 2
front mount rtek 1.7 silkroad coilovers and blitz nur to name a few goodies

Took the FD for a test drive tonight with the new Carbonetics differential and KG 4.77 gears.

All works great!

No new noises, no gear whine.

Whoohoo!

Yeah, I'm excited. :)

today, my 7 first time got a ride on a big old TOW Truck. got to the shop found a leaking clutch hydraulic line. paid $27 for a aftermarket line, $100 for labor to flush clutch fluid and put the new line in. and f***** $90 for a 5 minutes tow job....

got rid of ratnest , bac , avc ,omp , ect. blocked all 7 . cleaned and wire wheeled both intakes ,t b , ect . motor going in by noon .10mm

Notice any faster acceleration? more torque? shorter gears? more shifting?

Have fun! make a vid doing donuts(cookies)...

motors in ............ damn mother nature got me good .. assemble tomorrow . 10mm

^^ good luck :)

I drove it just hard enough to make sure it all worked.

More torque at lower speeds? Definitely - that's why I did the 4.77.
This car mostly sees autox action, and an occasional track day.
Got a trip permit so I could drive it on the road long enough to road test and break in the diff.

See it in action at the SCCA autox at PIR this weekend.

Fun? Yep!

Cookies? Probably not.

Re:
 

Got my new NGK plug wires and plugs in today from rx7store.net. Jacked the car up, unhooked the accelerator cables and removed the 4 10mm acorn nuts that hold the intake pipe on the TB. Removed the 4 12mm bolts on the TB and thats when things really started to get fun...

Apparently, there is coolant hose that is attached to the TB which is nearly impossible to get off and the TB wont come off with it still attached. In the process of trying to get the TB off I managed to break my TB gasket so I will need one of those now.

The best part about this adventure was that after I finally got the TB off I grabbed the spark plugs only to see the letter "T" on all four of the plugs! So I've had my 7 now for 2 weeks and it is already out of commission, jacked up in my garage.

So, guess now that the TB is off is there anything I should do to it. Like spray it down and clean it up with some solvents or something? On another note, during this procedure I also noticed that one of my vacuum hoses is cut off. The hose runs to a small black clip/module of some sort next to the brake cylinder. Useful?

Yea, I'm just curious how much different it is than stock? Shifting and torque, gears should come faster? What is stock ratio?

More torque at lower speeds should make doing donuts easier... :wink:

See you at PIR Sunday, ahh, but it might rain... Having fun is all that matters, well.. and winning.

Made bruce a OMP blockoff plate + downpipe gasket + mailed it.

Washed my FD yesterday. You can see the dent from the tree limb. (!$%!$%$!!!!!!!!!)

Looked at Tangosharks new vert. Found it needed lots of love and mainly a waterpump. Another fun project :). (Anyone else need help? Haha, I is broke.)

Found a new suspension temporarily for my FD while the Teins are rebuilt!

Kind of hoping it does rain - got a brand new set of W710's I would like to race on. :)

added a custom exhaust to my 12a, BAM!

this happened last weekend actually. :) met at Fry's Electronics and then raced on I-405 and I-5. I lost, but a 370z was racing too and i beat that. :egrin:

thanks spyder ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mail man f d up gasket but should work.... motor all in and done . start tomorrow ,noon ish .................10mm

Fired up the FC today!!! :djcelebra
After working on building it from the ground up interior and all, the motor is built, in, and running!!
For now it is a Large street/race port S5 NA block with Turbo exhaust sleves, 2 piece apexs, hardened sides, solid corners, viton oils, high oil pressure oil system, Exedy clutch, RB header to 3" strait pipe to AM muffler. And some other shit I can't think of right now.
Plan on Building the S5 turbo motor for it eventually, but that takes time and money.:lol:
So after the fresh rebuild kept flodding on me I finnally got it fired up and man does it sound wicked!! All I can say is I can't wait til after breakin to get this thing goin!! :icon_tup: I will post a few pics soon.

lets see on the grey car i rebuilt the clutch master cylander, then finally took the snow tires off haha, i jacked the rims from the red t2 since its goign to be down for a while...
ohh yeah and i repainted the lip also

A few pics of the 91. :icon_tup:

hp ?
 

HOW MANY HP /.? ish

0 2 sen , dp . on and some wiring ..... gonna try to start in 15 mins . 10mm

I plan on doing a dyno tune session after break-in.
I won't know until then. I could only guesstimate...

super 7 started . needs tuned and timed ///// yiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppy ...hauls ass

installed the flywheel and maybe going to tgake a stab at the inengine in a bit. ive never been that happy to see the ups guy hahah

still over heatin and bubblein .... mabey wrong o ring ... took lower intak back off , parts ordered .son of a #@!$!. 10mm

motr is in!!! wow ive never had a motor and tranny mate that easily. i swear it took longer to get the hoist set right than it did to drop tht thing in

All this to the FB: Ran seafoam through the engine and carb, replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the check valve on the fuel return line to the carb, took emery cloth to the wheels, cleaned the engine and the entire underside of the car, painted the skid plate, replaced the thermostat, and almost finished replacing the engine temperature sensor when it sheared off inside the housing. Will finish the rest tomorrow!

Built me a nifty 5th gear lockout device for the TII trans. Slowly getting closer.

Your's?
 

Nice work Robert! Is that your personal ride? Or one your workin on?

Only SA's had those braces. No FB's unfortunately... I want to cut some out and weld them into my FB.

On THAT ride, a lockout is a good thing. LOL Hope your documenting that build Jesus. It would be great to see the start to finish product and all the mods. :)

Yes this is my personal car. I have been working on it all winter. Restored the interior. Built, modified and ported an NA motor for it until the TII motor is done. Working on brakes and suspention next. Its a fun one thats for sure. :D :icon_tup:

It looks great! Nice work Robert!

Well I just installed my birthday present from the woman.. :) some S.T sway bars.. i love my girlfriend.

gonna go pick up my 3rd rx7 lol

attempted to finish puttin the motor together but realized that the fucking tweakers stole all my gaskets and some other parts :angry:

Opened up the throttle body a little bit. Made a significant differance in throttle response.
Also found a problem in some new housings on a motor I just rebuilt for a customer... The trailing spark plug hole on one of the BRAND NEW rotor housings is not tapped through all the way. The first plug I went to put in started to get tight, and I backed it out, and went again. After doing this twice I inspected the plug and noticed that the threads were being crushed. Son of a gun. Now I have to tap into a motor I just rebuilt and make sure EVERY precaution is taken to avoid getting ANY tap shavings in the motor.
Has anyone else had this problem, or have any advice for me when tapping it out?

Your SOL
 

Sorry to say Robert but the only way to tap that without risking shavings is to split the housings and tape the inner housing where you're tapping to keep shavings from dropping. If you're set on tapping it without splitting the housing, you may try using a fitting in the trailing hole and pump the cavity full of oil, the thicker the better, and pressurize it so that when you break through the shavings and etc. are pushed back out with the oil unfder light pressure. That's about the only suggestion I can thnk of that may work. Sorry.

Yup I agree with Ray. Open it up and do it right. Otherwise you will end up with a nice sharp ridge on the inside of the housing that will eventually eat and destroy your apex seals even if you get all the shavings out. If its just the read then clamp the front 3 housings together and just remove the rear 2 then reassemble. Or clamp the rear 3 and remove the front. This is just in case you want to save on coolant rings and cleanup. I have done this a few ti9mes to save me from headaches.

Just my 2€ cents. lol.

Gently drove my now-turbo FB for the first time today. :D Still a lot to do before I can test it out for real, though.

I got it taken care of. You can read the step by in my thread here..

Thanks guys.

Got pissed off at her... guess its her time of the month once more :wallbash: Stupid car :cursing:

Torqued my seats in after wife shampoo'd and cleaned em :]

removed my upper and lower intake manifold to clean them and ordered some 1000cc injectors while i was at it.

I replaced the brake master cylinder.

The FC is drivable again!

-Derrick

not a DAMN thing........... but i did clean most of the throttle body yesterday

Tuned suspension for races. Checked fluids.... adjust fuel pressure.... blah blah blah. :)

I picked up my gasket set and seals. So next weekend its on like Donkey Kong!
