Car just started to...
Hi there,
I hope somebody can help me here..
I just picked up a newly rebuilt rx7
So far I've driven 2000km and just installed a BOV with the car and tonight while going to my friends place the car started to hesistate if I accelerated.. It happened in every gear and got worse the more i drove it. It sounds like the exhaust is panting or somethign along those lines. The car idled fine and started fine. I drove it quite a bit earlier today with absolutely no problems at all, but now this suddenly.
The engine just got rebuilt and has a custom exhaust, fcon, gcc, to4, hks intercooler, greddy bov, aftermarket oil cooler, twin 60 psi fuel pumps...
if someone can help me out here i'll really appreciated it
Thank you.

maybe the BOV is leaking? which one did you use and where did you put it? on the IC piping? is it a front mount?
try removing it and put the other one back one and see if it helps at all.
does the car still idle and start fine now? or were you talking about before hand?
you got a nice list of stuff there, got any pics? you bought it will all that?

Ya I think it might be the BOV, but I was able to drive the car for around 200 km before this started to happen. I'll check on it today.. The BOV is the Greddy Type S. The intercooler is front mounted and the BOV is located on the IC piping exactly how u said it.
The car still idles and starts fine with no problems.
Yes I bought the car pretty much like this.
I'll take some pics of the engine once I get a new battery for my digital camera, u'll be suprised
Anyways let me know what you think!
Thanks a lot!

Hi it's me again
Well I seem to have fixed the problem, I adjusted the BOV so it's much softer than before (running about 11-13psi on the turbo) and now the car has no problems.
But another little headache has come up.
After going on the test drive and feeling extremely satisfied. I go back to my driveway and notice some bright neon green liquid on the ground. So now my coolant is leaking.
I looked in the engine and I noticed some of the green liquid at the bottom by the lower strut bar.
I'm not too sure where the leak is coming from. Any ideas? Thanks guys,
really appreciated it!
