MY Project
Hello to everyone, I own a 1986 rx7 body with a 1987 turbo import j-spec motor (did the install with a friend last year)
I thought i might clean it up, change the hoses, and paint the engine, and engine bay
This is my first time tearing the engine apart piece by piece.
I think I know enough but i dont know everything. But thats what forum friends are for, right? this is my project so far...
I do need to know how to get the turbo and lower intake off.
Any help is greatly appreciated, more pics to come.
Cleaning and paint:
Box of Fun:
My Car:
My engine (in the process of tearing apart and cleaning parts):
Upper Intake (took about 2 hours to clean):
Top view:
Left hand view:
Almost ready to paint this side (need to strip previous paint)
Not so much on this side:
If anyone has an extra to sell, i need the gray or second from the right, solenoid
Under Fuel Rail
1. what are these called?
2. where can i find the hose?
3. How do i get the hose off?
Can anyone tell me what these wires are sposed to be conected too?

putting it down daily
Those things you are pointing to are the OMP metering lines and the oil injectors. Look up rotaryresurrection (kevin) for the lines. As for how to get them off- not sure. Mine are still working well, so I haven't messed with them yet.

as for the wires i noticed when i unwrapped my harness i noticed mazda has odd factory splices, i would remove the tape and see if those are spliced together. if so retape it all nice, your green/black wire is damaged i would repair that also now that its out.

Expect alot of smoke when that thing first heats up. Let it run with the hood up and a gentle fan to dissipate the nasty fumes.
And yeah, that paint is a little blingy. But it could be worse.
It could be pink and blue. (cheap shot at a forum member)

That's a lot of silver!
Looks like you just sprayed the whole engine? Unfortunately I don't think that will last very long. Any seepage out of any of the gaskets is going to get under the paint and lift it in big sections after a few heat cycles.
The paint on the exhaust manifold will last minutes, and if you don't clean it off the gasket surfaces you'll have leaks very quickly.
I love the monochromatic silver look.
