Video of my Rx7
 

Well this is my Rx7 its a 1988 Se with T2 hood and S5 body conversion(I DO KNOW I NEED PAINT) so the engine in it has 66k miles on it and been seting for 2 years.. so i put it in(did the swap alone and in 15) and got it running farily good.. well this is the first time reving it over redline.. so i think the smoke is just from not being run alot.... also itz stock exhaust with howwled out cats...


tell me what you think of her

keep in mind in 15 and doing all the work alone

Sounds like the idle is pulsing, is your tps in good shape?

i just adjusted the
TPS to 1volt and its still suring... but it sound alot smother in the high rpms,..... any ideas on ther surging idle

Your car is very patriotic. Red, White and Blue..... and black but who cares about that.

Your TPS need some tinkering or replacing.

why not set the tps at the ecu level of 1 volt. try to see if changing out the spark plugs and spark plug cables helps out your ride at all. cause that sounds bad really.

very good job for only being 15! its coming a long way!! hope to see it w/ paint on it someday!! what color are you painting it?

im painting it white... it has brand new plugs and wires...


mabee a new o2 sensor????????

Yay! It runs! LoL

The O2 sensor isn't a bad idea, just not sure if it'll help the idle.

^ Shouldn't effect the idle. From what I've read here, the car dosen't go into closed loop until crusing on the highway, which invalidates the possibility of it being the o2 sensor

sounds alright just needs alittle more work

O2 sensor is ignored at idle.
Hell, you can go ahead and unplug it.

man we've been over this, and im telling you, when I installed my new o2 sensor it made a difference in how rich it ran AT IDLE! there was a few others that experienced the same thing..

anyways. HOld the tps ALL the way in with your finger (fingers if s5) and then put it at 1/4 throttle. Hold it there.

Does it still surge?

If it does not, then your tps will need replacing. Try this and get back to us.

Wideband testing says you're wrong.
How do you know it changed how rich it ran? Smell? Pretty poor indicator.

it was smell, and even though its not the best indicator, it IS an indicator.

I think the TPS might be FUBAR'ed.

yeah i think i will try a new TPS and o2 sensor

your car is an '88? I've got an '88 GTU. When i watchec the vid, at first it sounded just like my car. i've only got header, straight pipes and an APEX-i Turbo app exhaust. It's a great car, good job on your's!

yes itz a 1988

it finally runs after 2 years of hard work ey?

Sharp sound--idle isn't perfect but at least it idles. My 86 n/a ends with a bit of a deeper sound. Stock exhaust, including cats: http://www.drcoopster.com/mazda/startup.mp3

The smoke is a tad worrisome, to me, at least.

vx i got it last x mas so itz like 1 year

:drool1: ahhh, the lovely can clinking sound of a rotary with strait exhaust!

you all know you love it!

You're doing a damn fine job for only being 15. awesome man.

Nice job, still in need of some TLC though. Keep it up!!

god you hit the starter and it went brap brap brap brap brap then started.... i almost died i love that sound. but ya the idle isnt so smooth. try and change the tps and see what that does to it. if not i dunno. just start it in your driveway and make more vids i love that sound lol
