I got a engine in my car that i dont know what it is because im new to the automobile field tryin to learn now you know and ive been told it a greddy t88 can someone explain what it is and if it's good the specs on it???

 

Wow dude. Greddy T88 is the turbo (http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/gr...-88%20kit.htm). The engine (based on the picture in your sig) is the 13B-REW, 2 rotor, rotary motor (the standard for all 3rd gen RX-7s). Read the FAQ at the top of the 3rd gen page and I mean all of it. Time to get educated fast or you may be in a world of hurt owning this car. . .

Not trying to be mean, just trying to help.

 

Where are you in NC? If you're close to the Raleigh/Durham area, I could help you sort things out.

 

yea im from lumberton, nc but im in the marine corps so im stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville i would appreciate the educating lol

 

From the pic it looks like a 13B engine with the Greddy T88 single turbo (gigantic in my opinion) with dual blitz blow off valves, and a front mount intercooler. I'm guessing, due to the presence of that turbo, that the car also has an upgraded fuel system (eg injectors, pump), an aftermarket ECU (most likely a power FC given its nearly ubiquitous nature in the RX world), and a slew of other supporting parts. I'd think that a car like this would have meticulous history kept about it. Ask who ever you bought it from. Barring that more pictures would help.

While there seem to be precious few of us in NC, there is no lack of RX guys in Florida. Find somebody in your current area to go over the car with a fine tooth comb, and if you're ever in my area drop me a line. I always like looking at FDs.

P7k

 

yea no prob i will man he has kept records i just wanted to double check from what you say is what he has down on it thanks for that ill put a list together of everything in the car and send it to you since you like them and ill ride by there one day

 

Have you received the car yet? The reason I ask is that I believe that is/was Tom Ngo's car from Team Hybrid. Now, I understand he's pimped out an RX8 so maybe he did sell his car, but I would verify what you are actually getting. If that is Tom's old car, you'll need to make sure it's tuned as his car was strictly a show car. I doubt it was ever actually tuned to run.

 

I had assumed the avatar pic was a stock photo since I recognized the picture from the gallery on the rotary resurrection website.

 

cool ill find out thanks for that info mahjik

 

You don't have the car yet?! I sure hope you didn't get ripped off

 

I don't think this thread will end well.

 

Yeah I've got my fingers crossed.

 

i think it will the ebay guys are doing everything the guy doesnt get a cent till i check the i have 15 days to test the car and everything and i have a friend who is a mechanic who i will have check everything and a another friend that is really into tuner cars he has a supra will have check over it to before i accept it.

 

he wanted $7000 for it but i decided to go another route and get a diff one. Kinda standard 1994 with a rebuilt engine in it for about 8k thanks for the heads up on the scam thats why i posted it up

 

Here's a little reading on buying an FD.

By the way, they were supposedly selling that first car for $7k?! That's roller territory. You said that the first car was being sold on ebay? You have a link? It may have to be reported as a scam.
