My word those are some large primary ports!

I like the colour scheme. Nice to see some red on engines once and a while. :)

I hope you put the dowel o-rings in place on the front rotor housing because they sure dont' show up in the picture. ;)

jm93rx7 Aug 21, 2006 01:34 PM

its there

classicauto Aug 21, 2006 01:36 PM

Right on!

You shouldn't have stoped stacking - hehe, another rotor or two would look nice in there ;)

And yeah.....HUGE ports man!! that thing should breathe well....

jm93rx7 Aug 21, 2006 01:37 PM

i wish i could have kept stacking. Im hoping it will make some good power.

Today i got a chance to put it together. What a pain in the ass it was to start. I had to run jumper cables from my truck to the car and play with the fuel cut off switch to get it to start. Luckily i had a fuel cut off switch because it helped out alot. Its idleling at about 1800. Barely any smoke. I had to shut it off because it started to leak coolant from the LIM. Im assuming the water jacket O rings are worn so i guess ill have to make a call to mazda trix. It was so nice to hear it on again its been a while. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6...2a0174a1a9.htm

Looks grand!...I'm planning on powdercoating my irons in a similar red once I finish collecting all of my rebuild parts. Keep us posted on how she runs.

jm93rx7 Aug 27, 2006 10:16 PM

hopefully ill get to drive it this weekend if i can get some parts fast enough.

scrip7 Aug 27, 2006 11:40 PM

Hey did you use grey RTV to seal your oil pan or just a gasket?

jm93rx7 Aug 27, 2006 11:41 PM

Rtv

scrip7 Aug 27, 2006 11:44 PM

Cool. I like to use it on the legs of the housings too before I sandwich it all together....cuts down on oil "wicking" externally.

jm93rx7 Apr 24, 2007 10:10 PM
