can anyone tell me something about this engine ?? performance ? gen ? good condition? or the engine bay in general???

 

I'll move this to 2nd gen section, it's a TII...

 

Looks like a S4 TII with at least an intake.

It very likely has an exhaust too..

Looks ok, but for a florida car i am sure there are better examples..

Think it has an HKS blow off valve. Air pump removed. I believe I see a dual alternator pulley. J-spec intercooler. I don't see a fcd. Not a good angle on the AFM but looks like its a S4. Oh, and its missing the cover for the fuse box

 

and a bad paint job, that didn't mask anything

 

The air pump removed?? is that a problem?? .....Fcd is what? and the fuse box cover missing isnt a problem right?? ......the paint is something i noticed...but for a high 12s car i dont care about the paint as much...im planning on paying 3 gs for it...Fair?

Some of the other things it has .....

Engine is New...less then 16,000 miles *claimed 5,000* (the dial says 16,000)
New Tranny
550 cc Nippondenso injectors
fuel pump
custom fuellines
ported out intake manifolds
modified turbo
downpipe and midpipe
Mazda Speed Seats
New clutch ..Exedy dual friction clutch disks
Kyb Agx Shocks
Eibach Springs.

 

It really depends, take the car to someone in florida that knows rotaries and have them check out the engine.

removed air pump = no problem but w/ the EPA, FCD is the fuel cut defensor, if your running levels of boost above i believe the s4 has a 7psi limit? then the rear rotor gets fuel cut to it. not good on an older engine. The FCD tells the ECU that the boost is lower than the factory cut off point.

3k for a 12 second? thats a deal right there. but make sure there is nothing wrong w/ compression and the sort..i'd check it out. Still worth getting though.

 

looks like its got manual steering too.......

wait...high 12's? uh...on the stock TMIC...?

am i missing something here..?

 

yeah, they guy selling it is probably full of it, or maybe it is an old picture?

real mazda speed seats??

 

i forgot to mention that i took these photos myself on the engine....so its all the real deal...not new photos...they were taking last weekend (9/14/02)

NOTE...i edited the post above...i added some of the other mods on the car....so let me know if its still a fair price and if the car seems like it could be running the high 12s that i've been dreaming about

 

well..it depends extremely on what kind of hybrid it is and what boost its running

id say your good to about 13.5...stock catback?

i wouldnt push more than 12psi on that IC, do a FMIC as ur first upgrade and then *might* see 12's depending on the turbo
