hi does any one know about mods to help with engine cooling like upgraded coolant filler caps for a 1997 RX7 jap import or any thing which is proven to help? cheers lads

Also where the hell can i get my hands on a workshop manual so a 1997 Rx7 cos ive been looking every where.

last one what chemicals do guys use to keep ur engine clean inside and out?

any help would be great
cheers

 

As far as cooling goes, get rid the the stock plastic AST first, then upgrade to a Koyo or Fluidyne radiator. This topic has been gone over many times before. Do a search.

Getting a hold JDM stuff probably isn't very easy, on top of that, can you read Japanese? Go with a 1995 US manual, it's in English and the cars should be similar other than RHD.

Clean the engine bay with normal degreasers.

 

cheers mate

Do the mod to control your fans manualy. I keep mine on all the time. Get a temp gauge, the stock one is more like a "add engine light"

Cleaning .....Simple green works good on the engine, for tuff stains denatured alcohol.

 

ive got a boost controler that cuts out and kills the engine when ive stoped and removed the keys after a minute. But the fans go on when running anyway

 

Phaz,
Welcome to the forum. It's good that your thinking about cooling mods rather than "how much more HP can I get with this?". But there is a ton of information in the "FAQ Stickys" at the top of this section.....and a free FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL download. Read through everything, including the other sites that are linked to. LOTS of information. Good luck.
BTW, that's not a boost contoller. Its a "turbo timer".
