I finished my first engine swap with my 1988 rx7 turbo.
Thing runs like a beauty.I have a 2.5" downpipe with
old HKS style catback exhuast,no cat,Greddy air filter,twin power
ignition.It idles very smoothly.The engine is a used Jap
engine.This is the first time i've drove a rx7 and this
thing hauls a$$.The car threw flames when the car was in
3rd and I took off then let off.I did it twice.Did i mention
im only 16.turning 17 in july. : )
I sold the car on the same day.I was advertising it for sell
and someone wanted once i stuck the engine in.So I finished
the car around 2PM and then had to leave to meet the guy
around 9PM.The drive was about an hour and the car was
fine.Even though i was worried the whole way up that something was gonna blow up or fly off.This is just another example of what
a happy owner feels like.Wooooohhhhhhhooooooooo.

 

Congratulations! Although I can't imagine selling a car right after I put all the work into it without having SOME time to play with it

Thanks.Yeah.After i drove it I felt like not selling it but
I had already put a downpayment on another car.

 

Congratulations are accepted. hehe. : )
by the way.I bought the engine from nippon motors

 

Cool man, i remember that feeling when i put in my new engine.!

Congradulations

 

damn...no offense to you, but I'd never buy a car from somebody who had JUST finished putting an engine in that same day. But hey, more power to you. Congrats.

 

I guess he thought if it made the hour drive it should make the other hour home.

 

what in the hell is worth selling a TurboII, and putting a down payment on? esp if you took the time and money to build it, and play with it for a few hrs?... officially nuts, oh well, hope whatever you have now is worth ditching the turbo that shoots flames. have phun

 

I put a downpayment on a sentra SER with an SR20DET.Test drove it and that thing hauls butt.It was a real good price.

 

this weekend i am helping put a motor in my friends 87 TII for lets see the the 2nd or 3rd time can't remember LOL, but it is a lot of fun. also might get the S-AFC on too

 

hoochie... the driver side engine mount was a real bitch the first time with CJ's engine
