strange, its an s4 but the molding is the same color as the car, and you have s5 tails.

 

I like it.

 

Cuz you know how we do it in Vegas

 

Grats dude, how much did you pay? I'd take a look at the service records and do a little searching around the forum. Anything that doesn't match (as in stuff that normally goes bad, and hasn't been replaced) is probably comming up on the end of it's life. (Like the fuel pulsation dampener... which I'm going to be replacing mine this weekend.)

Other than that, do a tune up if nessarry. (Check FAQ).

Yeah its already been overhauled......There was a little cosmetic damage to the fron hood and fender but nothing a body kit cant fix.

I will definitely check out the FAQ.............

This is a non turbo edition of the RX7 and was led here by my search on ways to turbo it.......Actually found it is an advantage to turbo a non turbo car over rebuilding a current turbo one

 

Really? We noobs here at rexclub, who have been tinkering with these things since about 1986, are eager to be let in on the secret.

 

Turbos wear out more parts of a car than a N/A does. So when you rebuild or do a swap there are a few things you know dont have the extra wear and tear. I aint saying its a lot but in the long run its a lil better.........waitin patiently for my twin turbo set up from the guy who hooked me up with this car

 

You're going to get flamed for saying an NA to turbo conversion is better than starting with a turbo car. Go look at the list of things you have to change just to have all the TII equipment and you'll start to get the idea. Or maybe you'll remain clueless. I could go on and on, but I'm not wasting any more of my time.

I feel so liberated since reputation has been disabled around here. I can tell the 17 year old no skills having noobs what I really think! No green mark, no red mark, just brutal honesty.

 

Do you mean "twin-scroll" turbo or twin turbo? You do realize that you have to swap in a T2 drivetrain if you are planning a T2 engine swap? Making a naturally aspirated second generation RX-7 turbocharged is NOT easier than buying a T2.

 

your the one acting like a 17 year old i mean....15

as for westler91 GL i like how you kept it clean gj fix the front. get some better looking rims. you could tell the back lights were added.. thiers no sexyness to the car since thiers a bench in the back (2 seats =) ) but all is good gj

 

Turbocharged cars do not stress parts any more than N/A cars...or not a notable degree. The engines of most factory turbo cars, use a detuned version of the N/A motor. This usually involves simply lowering the compression, but there are subtle differences on top of that common factor.

The parts that do see increased stress on turbo cars are reinforced to an adequate degree to compensate. The N/A and turbo trannies, rear ends, and brakes are all beefed up to handle the extra load.

You're new to this and you have been misinformed. Please ask US your questions, and not who you have been getting your information from, from here forth. We will be only too happy to point you in the right directions.

If going your present course is how you do it in Vegas, you guys must break a lot of cars.

 

clean whip, what did you repaint with?

 

You really don't know what you're talking about.

Who's doing the work?

He'll learn eventually. Oh, and You WILL want to switch to a turbo tranny especially if you want to keep modding it. Here, go to the archived thread on going from N/A to turbo.

N/A 4 life!

 

I forget what model that is. But those ******* are rare. I was thinkin about putting back seats in. I saw some on ebay. But I decided to gut the back. And someone about 4 or 5 posts up said you cant drop a t2 engine on a N/a tranny, uhhh..., yea you can. I mean it will be shot in, at most, a year but you can do it.

 

If your gonna put a body kit on it i assume your going to replace the wheels and tires then too right? I CALL DIBS ON THE RIMS!

 

uuuhhhhhmmm maybe im wrong but isnt that a turbo anyway? its got the TII hood?

 

did anyone notice the mileage...hahahahaha you do need a new engine but your probabally going to need alot more stuff after your put a t2 in there. haha

 

The previous owner was an S5 T2 wannabe. The motors N/A all the way.

 

isnt that what your trying to do???

 

yea but i think its stupid when people do that becaus they could have just saved so much money and time if they would just bought a s5 t2. Plus the car has 230000 miles plus so its a money pit bacically

 

I got service records of the engine being rebuilt at 120,000 and then at 215000. Its gettin a full turbo swap thats including EVERYTHING. Yeah it got a turbo hood but its N/A all the way. The full swap is gonna cost about 6K in parts alone but the labor will be free since I am part owner of the shop


P.S. There seems to be a lot of haters toward the new people. You'd think you would be encouraging us but alas you wanna break someone down. Either way Haters hate harder and thanx to everyone wit something positive to say

 

did anyone else notice his back glass has been painted where it should be black or am i high?

 

you may be high, but I noticed it too, I did the same thin gto my car. I like it
