the oil-p gauge doesn't work. any suggestions??

it dosen't move at all nothin.

 

Check the wire at the sending unit.

 

dont rely on the stock unit. its blows anus

 

what am i suppose to replace it with (sender unit)?

 

does it cost like 40$

 

duuuuuuuude your damn right but the thing is that i don't know where is it suppose to be attached to!!

it's a thin brown wire with a white plastic piece at the top; where am i suppose to connect it to

 

the part looks like a bell.it is right under the Oil filter.

 

so the cable supposed to be attached to that

 

I thought we had decided here that it looked like a mushroom.

BTW, 91rx7, that thread has pics of what you're looking for.

 

Dear Lord Man!

This is covered like 8 threads down from this one!

Search!

 

that mother nature gfauge is working now. i thought that the cable is suppose to be connected with another cable not the stell head of the oil sending unit. that picture in the other thread did help.

thank you all


rx7 noooby.



be alert some other nooby qustions will be in the way.

just got that car.

 

and its a Yellow/Red wire for oil pressure

 

thanks man.

i have another stupid thing i need to know.
my car doesn't go over the 120mph and it barly makes that 120mph why?

besides i have just found that there is one hose that is not connected as shown in the picture, so please i know those are some stupid questions but i am a beginner.

 

the hose is for the air pump, it pumps air into the cat among other things, you should probably put a small air filter on it.

 

you know what i am saying right it has two hoses one with a filter not the stock one and the other one is connected to the air pump which is loss just nothing in there.



any how i am trying to figure out why the car isn't going over the 120mph? i mean it goes fast on 1st, 2st, 3rd, and gets little bit slower on4th but it touches the 6500rpm and i change to 5th gear where it seems like it is struggling to get over the 4500rpm on 120mph or so the thing is that it takes along *** time to get from 100mph to 120mph. why?

 

yeah, it used to go into the stock air box... now it sucks in unfiltered air to the air pump, put a small filter on it..

 

dude do u know how small that filter is i mean it would barely fit in it's just like a little toy . i don't know do you think that the small filter will reduce the the amount of the oxogyn that's being pumped or it won't matter.


now are you saying that the reason why the car doesn't exced the 120 is because the filter!!!!!. i don't know but it doesn't sound reasonable.?

 

...no

 

you're probably overboosting... get a boost gauge and see what kind of psi you're running.

 

I don't think his car is a turbo.

 

120mph sounds right. I got my N/A up to 130mph. If your motor was brand new it may go faster but why?

The filter they are talking about is a small seprate filter that you can buy at most parts stores. It's about the size of the oil pressure sender and looks similiar. It is also cheap.

 

hey this is the filter in the picture it's too small. the thing is that i don't think that it would provide the same amount of air to the engine as without it.

what do u think would it effect it positively or negatively?


and how come that 120mph sounds right i don't get it. isn't it suppose to get at least to 140 or so. this is an rx7 for the god sake THE ROTARY infinte power.

 

what is the overboosting. new terms to my rx7 dictionary. please explain

 

It doesn't look like you are a turboII guy so "overboosting" doesn't apply to you.

The factory turboII is meant to run between 6-8psi of boost, over boosting is when the turbos wastegate cannot dump enough exhaust gases to keep the boost pressure regulated where it is suppose to, and the boost ends up creeping past the 6-8psi(sometimes 12psi or more).

 

no it's not a tII but i am planning to install a turbo on it but it's gone take a while eventhough i am gone change the cat to high cat flow, and install a carbon fiber drive shaft which will increase the hps on the engine this is my plane for now.
