GOing to compression test it tomorrow before I sink anymore into it.. Here is to hoping the engine is good... AS it sits here is what it is..

1991 Rx7 Turbo Swapped Coupe
103k miles
5 speed S5 turbo transmission
Black Mint interior
S5 T2 wheels
Dual Sheave Alt pulley
3" full stainless exhaust (DP/TP)
tokico Blues with eibach race springs
Imported s5 t2 engine (unknown compression condition)
Upgraded clutch
Mazdatrix Turbo trans to N/A rear drive shaft
S5 Turbo Wheels
N370 electronic package
walbro 255 fuel pump
BLitz Intake system

If the motor is no good I have to pass this car on to someone else to have and to hold.. I can't take on a project like that this year..

 

woot! youll appreciate her more haha. same thing happened to me sold my first fc saw it back for sale bought it back but sold it again now kind of regret it now ehh ...

love that exhaust tho!

 

Lucky..My first fc I sold was bought by a douche kid I went to highschool with and there it lived its life as a giant fox racing advertisement...

 

Good luck man. Selling or buying a house is a horrible process. Even when your neighbor sells a house, it's a horrible process. I had realtor call the county on me twice for unregistered/uinspected vehicles. I found out I had 3 months, so I blue tarped 2 of them and parked a running one in the yard! Im sure they were happy, it looked better before.


You should buy your OEM parts from Malloy Mazda in VA. They'll beat Mazdatrix prices and ship them to your house the same. Call 703-490-8263 and ask for Ray Crowe or Casey Acuff.

 

Making progress. My Cafe Racer project is getting a good chunk of my time too... But I installed the fuel tank, test fittted the exhaust, hooked up the radiator and installed new radiator hoses.

 

i like how the Rx7 was the best performing one, so they chose the Z....

 

HOPing to get some work done tomorrow.. GOing to heat the garage up to about 70 degrees and knock some stuff out.

I am a little overwhelmed, I have to tear the intake off to get to the wiring harness as none of the connectors are in the right place and none of the grounds are connected. I am missing so many little bits and peices that every time I get a few steps closer to even doing a simple compression test I get pushed back 2 steps.. Trying to put a half finished project together (that you didnt build) is way harder then doing it from the beginning..

 

Placing this here for future reference.

For me, that's the only way to go. I've never been the flashy type.

Pretty extensive list on the hardware there. Hopefully this project works out for you. I'd love to have my old N/A back, but seeing as how thieves set it on fire and I decided it was best to scrap it (there was nothing but a shell after all), that will never be happening.

 

Got some work done today, think I may start a build thread with detailed pictures.. etc.

Installed the Mazdatrix Turbo Trans to N/A rear driveshaft
Installed and Wired up the Starter
Installed Radiator/hoses/clamps/shroud
Installed Downpipe
Installed O2 sensor
Installed oil cooler lines
Removed Power Steering pump
