Update: I been gone out of the state training so I havent had much internet. While I was gone Fris @ LUCK7 RACING took it upon himself to takle my new build. Since I have a lot of bad news when i purchased my car and BLOWN at that look at my sig read the scammed thread. I need all the help I can get. Who else than LUCKY7 RACING they stepped up and took charge of my build while I was gone.
Since I am going for the "CALIFORNIA STEALTH" look high flashy colors and bling bling is not needed for this build. Anything that is Black is painted black andything that is silver or aluminum is left silver. Everything was cleaned and some parts were in a ultra sonic cleaner for hours like Rotors and such.
1-Motor is built !!!!!!
2-OS Giken twin plate clutch -Lucky 7 Racing hook-up
some of the parts that are already aquired and present-
-Samco intercooler hoses -black
-Evo 8 bov -good up to 21psi and are loud and best of all they look OEM!!!
-Racing Beat wires
-Kand N drop in filter
-MARREN 720cc secondaries
I WILL UPDATE THE THREAD WITH PICS OF THE CAR AND THE BUILD FROM TOP TO BOTTOM THERE WILL BE OVER 50 PICS STAY TUNED
here is a pic of the BOV

Heres the OS giken twin plate clutch

The weekend before me leaving for training I removed the motor and cleaned up the car. I will post up the rust issues I am having wich will be fix shortly too.
The TEAR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




The TEAR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Got some work done yesterday since I am back even though I got to the shop late . My goal is to have the car running this week. I am a attention to detail kind of person so I like everything to be up to my highest standards so Its taking me a bit long.
First thing I had to do was clean up and prep all my parts for ceramic paint. Then, while the parts where drying a new waterpump and altenator went on. Also purchased ,a new slave cylinder, NKG plugs ,and new wire loom /shrink wrap, because I am redoing the wire harness today.
started taking the TB apart for ,TB mod and clean it up a bit.

Well today I had some free time while my daughter watched ANNIE for the 300th time I got the harness 99% done. I purchased a couple things in order for me to the harness. First thing we have to think about is how old these connectors and wires are. Second how many previous people have tampered with it. We all know the RX7 is infamous for electrical gremlins so with that been said i attacked the harness hard.
I started to take the old tape that is plastic now..lol and started looking for bad jujuus . And to my surprise 10 bad wires/connections in the harness it self hell one of the injectors was still running by 2 thin strips of copper. I re taped it all up really tight soldered the connections that need to be fixed and used BLACK wire loom. A lot of people dont like them because of the super cool engine bays on civics when they used to rock all the colors of the rainbow. But using black loom and making the wires as tight as possible will make it look 100 times better than just plain old tape.
Why take my time in doing something as whacked out as the harness. Well 90% of the troubles in a good build is electrical and its harder to pin point.




NOW FINISHED
