tap the holes and put on a remote oil filter

 

a big horizontal band saw would work best to chop it off.

Turbo is a T76 Q-trim a/r 1.30, kinda big for the stock port, but it will be getting a side port engine thrown in here in the next couple months...

Rear Plate Part # is.. NF01-10-C50D and cost should be around $250 or so.
O-ring Kit Part # is.. NF01-10-S60 and cost for that is around $280 or so.

 

I use a portaband saw to chop it even. Tapped it, but when i was putting in the fittings I heared a pop. It cracked it again. I guess it was a bad casting or something. I have a second rear plate allready and my seal kit will be here in a day or two. After pulling the rear housing off, I was checking out the condition of the rotor housing/ side plates. They are in great shape which I was glad to see. I'm guessing the motor has Very few miles on it, or it was just well maintained.

So, I hope i'll have her running again by the weeked if everything goes well. Maybe I'll get more than 80 miles this time before somthing goes wrong.

 

Was their a crap load of carbon inside the housing?

 

Glad to hear you got it running! Too bad about the oil misfortune, though. I just found a few pix of my car on the Racing Beat website from SevenStock6 event I took the car to. Cool! A few more 3 rotor RX-7s on the road soon. A very elite club is forming....... :-)

 

Well I'll be apart of that club shortly. It's killing me that all I need to get started is a damn computer and flywheel. I'm just a little broke right now.


Edit: Derrick do you not have any video or audio clips of your actual car? I would love to see those flames in action

 

Actually I do. That pic was from a snapshot of the video that we caught the flames on tape with.

 

Can you post your vid for all to see?



Edit: Hey Iron, sorry but I'm not trying to hijack your thread. It's just that there aren't that many 20b videos & audio clips floating around here.

 

My website host has recently gone belly up. So I don't really have a place to post it right now. Plus I need to edit it and compress it still. Any one have free space to host my site with?

 

Good news!! I replaced the rear housing got her fired up again. I just need to fix a stupid little leak from the rear turbo oil return line. Now to get back dialing it in.

 

Your story would have a lot more credibility if you posted a video I know you're still tuning, so you're probably not getting on it yet, but don't let that stop you from posting a video. I'm very curious to hear what a 20b sounds like under daily driving conditions.

 

Here is a little video clip I have of my 20 taking off.

rxman720b that flame/backfire was insane, why was there so much smoke? Is that normal?

 

The car had been idling a bit before I took off. It tends to want to idle kind of rich. When it loads up like that it will back fire under heavy accelleration.

 

Now thats what the f*ck I'm talking about . Thx Derrick

 

that was the fuging bomb cant wait till I do mine lol...

 

Now here is another little one that I put up. If you look real close after I pass by you can see the trail of flames coming out the tail pipe!
