Phil,
I don't think I ever said it was crap parts that caused the issue. I said that your oil may be too thin and may have caused spun bearing and oil pressure drop. 10W-30 was too thin in my opinion for even a stock rx7.

I remembered back in the day when one of my team member was running 0W-30 oil in his race car and spun his bearing after 10 pulls on the dyno.

As long as you use 20W-50, you shouldn't have issues with it.

 

Gotcha! Thanks again Steve for the good tune. When I get my wastegate issue resolved, will the pump gas tune be alright still? Because my turbo should spool up to 20psi instead of creeping up to 20psi???

 

Steve tuned 10 cars, 4 of which were over 500 whp.

 

DYNO VIDEO:

Nice video, Phil. That song brings back memories, I was hazed the worst when pledging my fraternity with the original version on that music in the background

 

Thats Sweet Im Just Now Working On My Rx7 Not Sure What All To Do To It But I Get R Done Will You Private Message Me And Tell Me How To Put A New Thread Up I Am New At This

 

Phil, just watched the video......brings back memories! Hope you get it all figured out and hit the 600rwhp mark.

 

nice diff.

Wish there was a kit for FC's... I may have to swap all of my Go-fast stuff in to the FD if I keep breaking ****.


As far as oil goes... I have run 20w50 in my car since day one, it's what the owners manaul recommends for FC's, and FD's are really no different!

 

are you still useing that clutch that i asked about in the pm? that xtd one. im about to get one, and if your setup works well, well then thats good enoth for me.

 

Impressive numbers and a sweet video. It's great to see two generations of RX-7's sharing the same garage. Where did you have it tuned? Also, do you have any info on that IMSA-lookalike FB that's sitting in the back? It's the white one with the widebody kit on it.

 

No, I ended up getting an ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch with their pro-lite flywheel. It was a $900 setup but it is indestructable.......

 

Nice numbers Phil.

 

I wish my ACT 6 puck knew it was indestructible... would have probably saved me over a grand worth of parts and labor....

 

I just pulled this setup off of a customer's motor. After 10k miles, the disc is worn out and the flywheel has some pretty deep gouges in it.

 

mmm you guys allways make me think. i am looking at the act ones, im only looking at 400-450max hp. i think i will just get that xtd one. hope it works out.

 

Can you post the dyno sheet please, am very interested in seeing that.

I am looking at a full bridge on 3mm PTS seals with a GT42R that i want to run on the track.I am wondering what sort of power it will make at around 20psi and will it be a good track car setup.Will the power come in early enough or will it have too much lag.What will the powerband be like,etc,etc

Thanks.

 

Well my pump gas dyno sheet isn't worth posting because I creeped from 10 - 20psi over the entire pull.

I will post the C16 tune tonight.

 

Turbo Tommy killed his 6 puck.....

 

Ok thanks for that

Need to find out if this full bridge with GT42R would be a good track set up.

Any comments welcome.

 

Hey Phil, probably a lil random but its your threa so i thought id post. Well, im a Auto Tech major at SIU down in carbondale,IL and i get a lot of interest because of the FD. Well, just so happens that this one kid starts talking to me about his buddys 7...yada yada. Hes says its pretty fast and that there was just a race not to long ago with a freak camaro to 180...BAM, i could never forget that race/vid and instantly i knew who he was talking about. Then he goes on to say that he actually filmed the race from your car...haha. Talk about coincidence, but Danny Little from the block says whats up....and i told him that i need to make a trip to come see that beast of yours. DROOOOL

anyways keep the project goin man....you got a rep

 

nice numbers, measured one my tial 38mm's

WITHOUT BANJO FITTINGS -> 4-7/8"- tall and 3-3/4"-wide

WITH BANJO FITTINGS -> 5-3/4"- tall and 4-1/4"- wide

 

Thanks alot for measuring that!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow, this is a small world huh? Yes, he was in my car filming when I raced a built camaro to 175mph.......... I will be back in STL for the summer. You should come up some time.

 

i wouldnt mind seeing this video you guys speak of....

 

Little search, you might findddd it. haha. Make sure to post it here again so I dont have to search for it
