I ran my 88GXL to 249,9?? miles until it spit an Apex Seal

 

blew it up last night lol

 

lol only 1 person gave up. Im damn near ready to give up on my pos engine.

 

Mine went 2 weeks ago.

At first I cried... then I laughed... then I was depressed... and now I'm accepting...

Anyways, my new engine will be here any day.
Streetported!

 

ive owned many 7s since i was 16 (im 34 now). ive never ever blew a engine,(knocks on head) but ive bought many with blowed engines!

 

Bought my car with a blown engine, engine was still original. cars on second motor which is still running(mazda rebuild), hoping to install 3rd motor(13B RE)

 

Let me see...

1 stock GSL SE on nitrous. ( cracked end piece, still drove for a while.)

1 J-bridge. ( lean it out at Laguna Seca, once again cracked end piece, still drove for a while. This motor had 2 years worth of monthly track event, when it was taken apart it looked like 150k + from a stock motor when it had about 28k.

1 J-bridge. ( one rotor right away. Up to today I still have no idea why this one let go. The only thing different is I had MSD on it so I have to blem MSD for the detonation. However I was running carbon seal so no damage to housing or rotor.)

1 Stock GSL-SE. ( one rotor right away. Straight away at Thunder HIll. I think the fuel pump screen was clogged.)

1 T II. ( one rotor right away. had the Racing Beat apex seal remover which is 3 inch exhaust, FCD, and F - con.)

1 220k Stock GSL-SE. ( On rotor right away. just let go at 30 mph cruising. I was ghetto and disconnected one injector and still drove on one rotor for 2k.)

1 130k Stock TII ( same as above TII.)

Opps I did it again. ( same as above TII.)

1 30k FD. ( one rotor right away. My bad I had 87 octane.)

this is over the course of 9 years and 11 cars.

 

130,000 K's and still going

 

1 in my 82rx7 12a. none in my t2 but its been rebuilt before i bought it

 

Practically grew up in a Mazda dealership-have had numerous Rx-7s. Never blown one up! I wish one of them would let loose, then the real performance mods can begin!

 

Mine came blown

 

Amen to that, I felt the same way!!!!

 

Same here!!!!!!


Blown one NA engine.

None blown without intention.

 

I did three engine swaps this week!!! I think total since I started driving RX7's the toatal would be hmmm...... 8 or 9 I forget .

 

Had my76RX4 since 78 and have put in so fare 6 engines. Each time up grading and each time not lasting as long. At this time less then a 1k mi @ engine. So what is the word on my for head, STUPPED

 

Stock block/turbo now at 114,xxxish miles.

 

I put a v8 in mine and never had another blown engine. A v8 is so nice.

 

Looks like the majority are stock and still running, thats rather impressive for a sports car.

 

2 within 1 month of each other.

I've owned the 88 GTU for 11 months and added 20k to it when it blew a coolant seal at 102k.

I owned the 88 SE for around a year and a half and added 15k onto it when it blew it's coolant seal at 155k.

The GTU went in October and the SE went New years eve this year/beginning.

 

One NA engine @ 114k miles. Hopefully no more for a while.

 

im on the 3rd motor, needing a 3rd tranny

 

I havent blown one yet nor have I tried, LOL My GLS_SE was hit by a non driving bastard just after I got some mods done to it, had 160k on it and run like new, I sold my 91 which was in tip top shape with 120k for cash cause i was in a jam last year, now I have a 89 with 5k on a large streetport and if i blow that I may have to pop myself in the head, LOL. I try to save all the hard core driving for when i need it most. Thats what the sportbikes for

 

I've got one TII at just over 200k that'll still run, and my other TII at 166k.

Both rollin'.

 

God I can't stop laughing, that's classic.

Well, never blew the 91 NA, and its still going strong with its new owner.

The 90 NA came blown, but is getting a transplant next month.
