my previous problem was my 1988 rx7 n/a wasnt reven above 4000 rpms.....well today i got in my car and started it and barely hit the gas and let it slowly rev and it went well past over 4000 then white smoke starred pouring out and then i let it idle and then punched it and it would only hit 4000? .....

i realy want to keep it rotary but at this rate i dont know i think it might be side seals but i dont know I NEED HELP

White smoke usually means coolant in the combustion chamber, which means bad coolant seals. Are you mysteriously losing coolant?
And if it won't rev above 4k then your secondaries probably aren't working.

Well, I've picked up a lot of stuff over the years, but there a plenty of people that know more than me.
And as for the smoke, when does it smoke and what color? Are you losing coolant with no visible leaks or burning up a ton of oil?

Mine puts out a lot of white smoke if I just turn it on in the morning and it isnt warmed up and I rev it. I just thought it was becuase it wasnt warmed up, It doesnt do it at any other time.
