i get the engine & everything back this weekend. Its a 1/2 bridge with a t78 & supposed to tune it when the engine is back in. It blew because of the oil returning lines being melted by the T78 compressor. So oil only went to half of the engine!


Below is a picture






So far i Bought New vacumm hoses, SS oil lines, new gaskets, Synthetic oil for my transmisson fluid, New clutch, new Radiator hoses, ignition system. Im thinking if theres anything else i should replace while my engine is out.


Any suggestions

 

Any Advice Would Help

 

If you don't have them already, Poly motor mounts, light flywheel. Gotham oil pan reinforcement brace. New clutch fork. underdrive pulley set. delete the double throttle and coolant through the throttle body if it hasn't been done already. New engine wiring harness. The list goe$ on and on

 

hey I heard you said your car is running..
9 Darkphantom RX-7 477 hp 2800 lbs 8500 rpm 167 mph 11.6 @ 114mph 5.871 21 psi T $36,669 .

how is your car running if u dont have everything to get it running yet......
lies, lies, lies, lies, lies....

hey dont believe a word this kid says.. anybody that knows him knows that he lies alot....

 

return lines? plural? There is one feed line and one return line and I have no clue what you must have done to melt one...

 

everything he says are lies. beware of him..also that wasnt what blew it.. i really kow what blew the motor.....i took it apart?????????

 

well I guess that pretty much takes care of this thread

 

Straight from the Phantom's mouth.

 

He was racing that 685 rwhp monster? He's lucky that is all that happened, a popped motor.....I'm surprised his heart didn't fail from the suction of the other FD pulling away from him

 

No he was racing Directfreak's turbo 1st gen.

 

dunno how much he was pushing but if you looked at the vid he was pushing 17 or so lbs.

didnt know his car was that fast!
