hahahahahahaha, i was waiting for the love from you!!!
man if we lived closer id glady drag your *** from the front of that screen and get you to work. of course id drag you to my house to help me also.

 

Yeah, if we lived near each other I'd totally help too.. I'm pretty much locked down right now from weather. Can't paint with this kind of humidity... I mean, I COULD.. but I don't want to. I'm doing body work on the doors right now.... My doors were visibly in REALLY GOOD shape before I stripped the paint off and realized how dinged up they really were. Most of the imperfections I'm seeing are factory divits... bumps from when the doors were formed.. very weird stuff. There was even factory glazing putty that was forming in a large section of malformed steel. Very bondo-esque.

 

i read that.... my doors where just as bad i think. i didnt strip them down to metal, but i bet if i did i would have found the same thing. funny how they are like this.
i dont blame you on not painting in that weather. i wouldnt have either....

 

Good luck with the build man... I'm really excited to see video of it driving! And even more excited to drive mine.

 

thanks. make sure to get videos of yours also!!

so heres the pic of the IC. i actually need to trim that straight piece going to the TB elbow a little for it to fit.


thats the last pic for the nite. im hoping next weekend it will fire up!!

 

Hell Ya getting er done Tom!!!! Congrats dude. Glad to see it coming together for ya.

 

thanks buddy!!
tommorow im going to organize the SS braided fuel lines i have. i need a few more parts and i need the couplers for the TB to IC and turbo to IC. wire it all up and mount the haltech TPS sensor to my TB and shes ready to fire. im HOPING this weekend ill hear it run.

 

Christ I want to make out with your intercooler setup.

I'm honestly hawt.

MORE PICTURES!

 

hahahaha....
i can do that.
ive been pretty busy but i picked my oil, antifreeze, heater hoses, vaccum lines, thermostat, battery connections and few other things today.
i tried to bleed my NEW master cylinder today to find out the slave took a dive on me.
i got one coming though.
i also got my SS fuel lines on and holding 35PSI of pressure steady (what previous owner had it set, it will be set higher) so its good to go. tommorow ill snap pics and im gonna cut the IC pipe for the BOV and have a extension welded on the end to get closer to the turbo.

so i do have quite a bit work left but im on the home stretch!!

 

Startup video or ban.

 

well....
this is where im at.
sorry i havent gotten any pics lately. i been so damn busy trying to beat weather. i think its wining.

i did get everything all wired up for the haltech E6k
some of the car still isnt done though. small interior pieces, IC pipes are welded up and ready to drop in.
i have it ready to start.

first i tried to get oil pressure. that was fun!!
i had to remove the oil coolr line and make a tube and funnel to run oil down into the fornt cover to prim the oil pump. i set the funnel in the engine bay and cranked it after i injected some oil and it started coming back out of the funnel. i replaced the oil cooler line cranked it 2-3 times and BOOM! we have pressure. 40-50LBS to be exact.
i also got my oil pressure and water temp installed and working.

then i tried to see if it was going to run..yeah right!!!
all i do is flood it out. i dont think the starter is up to the task but im not sure??
i posted for help in another section so maybe if your good with haltech you could check it out??
this is the link
https://www.rx7club.com/haltech-forum-62/fresh-rebuild-e6k-%3D-no-start-702046/

so i guess once i figure out how to get it running i will weld up my cat and be just about done for now. like stated i still have small things to do and next summer ill upgrade the rotors brakes and shocks and tint the windows.
but for now im stuck trying to get this bitch to start!!

 

lookin good 88 cant wait to here about the initial start up lookin forward to the post!

 

I know a little late but uhhh how in the world do I remove the dash?

 

Is anyone currently selling a black 1991 dash unit?

 

uhhhh, wrong section??
they do make a for sale section my friend

but since im here ill update.

i havent really gotten anywhere lately.

my clutch is giving me problems....it's not disengaging. i press the clutch and crank the motor and the car lunges forward. im hoping bleeding the master or adjust the clutch will show better results for this....

also, for the life of me i cannot get this thing to fire!!
im going to buy starting fluid tommorow and see if it will help...all i do is flood it out....
maybe since i cannot get it to fire and im getting tired of it ill snap some pics for you all so at least you can see where im at.

 

it started!!

turned out the MAp i was going with needed a little adjustment. after a friend came, help me get it timed good, it finnaly came to life. i know i promised pics and all but i got so damn excited i just didnt have time......


*edit*
if anyone cares this is the thread i started for all the great help!

Congrats man. Told you you'd be first. Now get some video of you driving it or I won't believe you.

 

thanks! maybe ill take a video of it's leaking exhaust, ALL the smoke and the BRAP BRAP (streetport) once i get the MAP settled in more...its got a WAYSSS to go.

thanks to BNR for supplying the MAP BTW!

 

Congrats!

Can't wait for the video...

 

thanks guys!!!
now i know i promised pics and i did snap 2 tonite....
i know its messy and needs organized so no need to point it out!!
its still in the works of getting cleaned up...i also picked up my E-fan today...its from the (surprise!!) ford taurus 3.8

here you go!!



im gonna have to pull all that harness in the firewall as much as i can and push the wires im not using back though with it. i still need to wire up my dual EGT gauge,figure out if its smoking from the rebuild (only been ran for at least 30 minutes TOPS) or if the turbo needs a restrictor OR my O rings are leaking for the block to LIM. its SOOO rich right now i cant tell if smell coolant burning yet or not...i still need to dump LOTS of fuel out of the haltech.

oh yeah....find my exhaust leak......UGH!!!!!

and notice the dumb mistake i made???
i ordered the wrong coupler size for the TB elbow to IC!
thats on the way as we speak.

the IC piping still needs all the clamps put on also.

 

Suhweet.

 

I admit it. I love the FMIC type thingy, keeps pipes pretty short too.

*saves pictures*

 

yeah thats what i was hoping for. im extremely happy with it.

sooo. a little while ago i bought a pedestal form here:
https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-center-69/respeed-gb-oil-pedestal-s4-maf-adaptor-449540/

the other nite i put on my IC couplers and such and somehow i hit my oil filter. no idea how hard or when....the next day i fired the beast up, timed it and caught i had 0 oil pressure. i immediatley shut it down and began scratching my head.....i looked and looked and found the oil filter just kind of "sitting" on the pedestal....i thought, holy ****!!! i left it unscrewed?? NOPE. when i hit the filter i BROKE the pedestal where it screws onto the filter. its a seperate piece that screws onto the filter and down into the pedestal. i pulled it off and lined up the piece where it broke off and somehow NONE of the alluminum fell into the motor...NONE! i triple checked the break and it was a clean one (thank god!!)
i then checked the floor to find about 3 or even 4 quarts of oil lying in a puddle. i havent tried to start the motor sine (obvious reasons) but im pretty sure its fine. when i was timing it, i only ran it for maybe 5-10 minutes. that whole time is was still seeing SOME oil since it was both dumping out of the filter AND going into the motor..SOOOO, im going to take a pic before i run into town tommorow and see if i can get it welded.
it seems like there has been alot of bad luck with our motors on this forum lately!
but thank god mine is ok.
hopefully i didnt take 20K of its life

 

Thats odd. Have you talked to Billy? That shouldn't happen and he is a stand up guy.
