ORLANDO

ok my names mike and iam 19 and i have a 87 turbo II 120,000 miles and bought it for 2,000.its hard to start when cold and got to give gas for 2 minutes till it warms up then it idles at a constant 1,500.its silver and all stock.sloppy shifter,tons of VAC leaks.but it boost's some what.

i would like to meet some of ya guys. Would any one would like to come over and chill for a little bit.cause i need advise badly.lol and tips,pointer's.

this saturday iam going junkyard hopping for 7's for some parts. so if any one would like to swing by for a little while id be very thankful.id offer beer but ya know!
come over saturday or sunday. here's my number 407-484-7916 thanks

and id like to see your guys whips too.

 

yea bro just saw ur post maybe next weekend im in altamonte springs

 

well i got the car to start up pretty good now and has some HP. but it breaks up in 5,000 cause of boost.lol and NO O2 sensor probably. i cant find the plug. its comming along good then when i bought it thursday. it was a snail how slow it was, that i thought the breaks were dragging but really it had no HP.

so monday/tuesday i have brand new NGK wires and plugs comming in. that should help.

does anyone have a spare fiberglass spoiler.the stock one ya know?????? mine is missing.lol

oh and i live by kissimme but still in orange county. i live off of OBT where the ho's are at.

 

oh and if i did the compression test right. my numbers are front rotor-90psi and rear rotor- 80psi

whats stock brand new compression #'s

 

u have low compression at the rear rotor. each rotor should have 90+ compression.

 

low compression? well with pistons 10 psi isnt much,its minimal.

its smokes grey smoke somtimes

maybe cause of the o2 sensor wire is not found, its cut/ missing somwhere.

so iam looking out for a s4 TII engine bay harness.

 

come on people please TALK to me. its it cause iam a noob? come on ****!

well i bought a wire harness off ebay and a spedo cable and more stuff.now i just need to know for now just for the hell of it, where is the O2 sensor wire at where it ENDS? is it by the throttle bodie,tranny,spark plugs is it any where nere them???? cause it would probably help me boost better.it breaks up past 5,000rpm with tooo moch fuel maybe.


Any help FL buddies!!!


and this is the first forum that nobody responds.like 60 people viewed it but 2 answerd me.wtf

 

While we understand your frustration, your attitude isn't going to make anyone want to help you. Buy a Haynes Manual, search the 2nd Gen forum for your answers, and people will probably help you if you are polite about it.

Just my 2 cents.

 

well its too late now.lol

but this weekend iam pulling a whole AC system from a 7 since ya know mine dont have it. wire harness for my motor in the mail from ebay. i think i also found the snipped wire to my o2 sensor so ill wire it up friday.

anyone in FL with a spoiler??? mines is broke.

but the car is getting better and better every day.

 

Disconnected O2 sensor will never cause hesitation or smoking. The compression in the rear rotor is lower than it should be but you can still drive it and its not causing the problems you are having. According to rotaryressurection it can "blow any moment" lol. Did you do the test right though? It was warmed up, you had the gauge in the spark plug hole tight and you held the gas pedal wide open?

You can find vacuum leaks by spraying carb/parts cleaner around suspected vac lines/connections and observe the idle speed, it will increase when the leaking area is sprayed.

Your problems can be cause by a million things, since you just got the car I would think it needs some TLC and you need to test all the typical wear and tear parts. Plugs and wires were a good start. How close are you to Town Center Blvd.?

Did you really buy a wiring harness just for the O2 sensor wire?

 

well i get paid next week so try and hold it for me, for the spoiler.thanks

i installed a boost guage and iam at 20lbs of vacuum and around 7lbs of boost.and i installed a bypass valve form a 89 probe gt/mazda mx6 gt both turbo. and way better then our stock shity one.

i disconnected a coolant hose that warm up the throttle body i think cause the guy before me blocked it off farther down the line but no more white smoke. whoooo hoooooo

and iam pulling a AC sysem tomarrow form a JY. but the car runs really good now.id say about 75% full strength just cause about 5 plugs are not together. like the thermostat groud thing on top there,BAC i think

and my interior has a constant beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppp. its probably form that thermostat plug.

oh and i bought a HARNESS cause mines is cut to peices and falling apart.

 

The constant beep is probably because of the coolant level sensor. Make sure your cooling system is completely full and bled and that there are no leaks. If everything checks out and its still beeping it could be the sensor its self.

 

well the AC system is half way in so me and my dad will finish it tomorrow.

i have 1 coolant sensor and oil pan sensor unplugged so thats probably why. and ill search how to bleed the system and do it also sunday if i have time.lol

but it still breaks up past 5,000 rpm in boost for some reason? is it the O2 sensor not hooked up right cause i found a snipped wire in the bay there with the same outer rubber coating and wires inside are the same so i spliced them together?????

where does the o2 sensor wire from the motor start. EX: like by the turbo or the spark plugs,,,,,,, around there ya know!

 

tell me what you guys think!

ok i start my car up and a puff of white smoke comes out and then a constant light stream of white smoke keep comming out untill it warm up at idle. then once its warmed up i can drive around with no more smokeing and even boost up to 6,000rpm then it cuts off for some reason, maybe fuel cut off? but if i REV it at a stop just free revving it up to 6,7 thousand it POORS out HUGE clouds of white smoke.

1. do i have bad coolant seals in my motor?
2. or a bad turbo?

it will only smoke at a stop,like not moving.
i can boost and it wont smoke.

 

bump

i checked YOUTUBE for "bad turbo" for rx7's and i have the same white smoke problem as other people so i now i need a good turbo.

 

Yes It sounds like it may be a bad turbo, but it sounds like you definately need to buy a set of block off plates and give that thing a vacuum hose diet.

 

I know someone with a stock turbo, if interested?

 

how much?? for the TURBO i was in the junkyard and found a bag of aluiminum plates that look like some kind of block off plates in a 88-NA rx7 so maybe they would work. ya know take that emission crap off

i know on NA cars the vacuum selonoids are important but how about my TII. do they help any bottom end power that i dont really have. i also might be hitting fuel cut cause iam boosting 7lbs and i read somewhere s4 TII's are set at 5.5lbs for fuel cut.

but for some odd reason when i stared my car today my car didnt smoke one bit. one day i does and the next it doesnt.

and i cant spell well so whatever.

 

hey bro u know any junk yard with rx7s in orlando?

 

ya but trust me its a waste of gas cause there stripped to the BONE.like nothing is left,nothing. so now its just ebay for me.
