Engine popping
I just got my new engine in from Pineapple racing. But I noticed this problem with my last motor. When you rev up the motor, when the rpms are going down, you here this pop pop pop pop like a back fire. But I dont think it is back firing. I dont know if rotary engines can even back fire. Well anyone have any ideas. I have seen other rx7s do the same thing and am wondering what the hell it is.

It's normal, the rotary engine likes to dump a little bit of gas down the exhaust which causes the gas to ignite in the exhaust system causing the poping noise. Happens with mine, and most of everyone I talk to.

Put the car in 1st gear and go to like 4 to 5k rpmz and stay in first gear and let off the gas, if it pops and all that, check your timing. More than likely it is off. I have never heard that this is a normal sound for a seven.
