i figured it out.
reason i was banned was because i wasnt allowed to talk to rx7girl. i guess only the people with those privilages are the people running this web site. they said they were editing the thread for unnecessary post and off topic chat but for some odd reason it seems they were only editing that certain thread. so they delete all my post even though i had a specific question for her about her mod on that specific topic. and yeah i might get banned for another week for saying this but WTF... GET OFF HER NUTTS

I did the water trick in lab the other day at school( i go to tech school) I took a water bottle, and pulled a vaccum line right above the LIM on the UIM facing the strut. Let someone sit in the car and rev to about 3k, then let the line drink up all the water, Refill and repeat =D works well, you can see white smoke from the exhaust instantly (steam) then after a few min of idling, the smoke turned grey (carbon)...dont be alarmed if your car keeps smokeing for a while...after about a day of boosting around town, mine stoped. And be sure to let your car get hot before hand.

the vac is hella easy to find, i cant believe i couldnt find it from ICEMARKS description. inbetween the intake man/throttle body and the firewall, there are 3 vac lines that line up with eachother vertically. unplug the one from the bottom that has a vac nipple/pipe attachment comming out from the intake man/throttle body and attach a longer vac line to stick in the water bottle.
i think i did it wrong though becasue i was revving 5ks all the way through.

Clean or replace your plugs too.
***********************
Here's mine:
• Seafoam Treatment on Rotary Engine. (didn't find Amsoil or GM)
This ****** Smoked Alot.
More than what you see in the video.
That's just the clearing process since I was up by the engine bay feeding the Vacuum lines with SeaFoam.
I put a clamp on the throttle so it would stay at about 2500RPM, then redlined it in the backroads...
I don't know what that smoke is all about.
I mean burning some type of chemical will smoke. I don't know if they were the damn carbon bullshit.
I noticed my oil is now cleaner
It would usually get diry after like a month, but now, it's still clean and it's been 2 months now. Im not sure if the seafoam caused this, but all I've done was seafoam, clean plugs, and.... that's all I can remember.
My Compressions are 110PSI for both rotors
Some JackAss told me I had 85 like 2 yrs ago. and He was supposed to be a RotorHead. He Probably Lied To me Big Time. But Why? My compressions are about right. 2 of us checked it, and the car wasn't fully warmed to the Normal Temp. About 5 Mins Idle.
(Cold Engines show less compression )
V I D E O
NKG SPARK PLUGS AFTER SEAFOAM TREAMENT
Carbon/Fouled up.
Comparison: Old/New
Right one is the virgin, as you can see the hole is tighter than the left.

And the Revolution...
Well as you know I am running overly rich. I did the seafoam yesterday. I followed icemarks instructions and used the seafoam first. It smoked a whole whole lot. I then used about a half gallon of distilled water which it didn't smoke hardly any at all. I figured the seafoam had cleaned most of it out if that were the case. I used a second can of seafoam and it smoked like hell again. Then ran a slight amount of water thru it. All this after an oil change. I then took all my plugs out and cleaned them, I found out that I was running 9's all the way around instead of 2 7's and 2 9's. So I swapped the L out with 7's. I took the car out and drove it around for a little while. The first time I gave it a little bit of boost(3psi) around 3k it hesitated like a hell so I let off and I got back on it and it let out a huge cloud of smoke as I was driving down the road. It seemed like it just had to push a little more to get past 3 but then it cleared up and drove like normal. I guess it was just excess burning off. The car seems to run much smoother now. After I did the seafoam and took the plugs out they were still black so I cleaned them off with a wire brush. Either way I'm probably gonna do a treatment with each oil change just to be on the safe side until I can get a FPR. Thanks for the help Aaron

seafoam is damn expensive to suck through your engine so fast... why not add some "cuts grease on contact" dish soap to the water... or better yet, use straight up simple green or formula 88
and then, if you're still bored, start making concoctions of what you think makes the most smoke when burned and see who can make the largest, darkest, meanest smoke cloud and post pics lol

Dude, Seafoam is not that expensive.
It's almost like a quartz of your engine oil. 5 bucks, man.
Well, just think that if you can skip one of three meals in a day, you can afford it.
Btw, I didn't realize that Spark Plug is 34 dollars with Denzo brand. Autozone and Pepboys don't have other brand... Oh Well...
