No it's not Turbo'd
My "Bet" would be "Not" since the air pump makes the belt attach to 60+% of the area of the Water Pump, which is attached to the crank shaft, and would be difficult to turn, that's why you have a starter... with the belt only gripping 20% or less of the water pump it's not hard to make it "slip" by hand... but since overheating and water pumps are for wimps... feel free to experiment on your own car....

RE: 4 years, Good For you... !
RE: Reading / Believing, I don't that's why I didn't believe you when you said you could turn the water pump with the air pump in place... Cause I have, since I swapped out the belt when I did the Single Turbo Years ago, and found I couldn't before, and could after... but only after I had about 500 Miles on the water pump puly, as the teeth wore off and it lost it's grip... because I did read forum posts, and took it under advisement, and tried it for myself...

excuse me? upping my post count?
I, unlike many internet forum superstars could give two ***** about my post count.
And YES... GO READ. How you do think everyone else here learned? How do you think I learned what to do with my Single build when knowing nothing about rotarys?... yes, I searched day and night and read every FAQ out there. Every ******* week a new kid shows up asking the SAME questions. It's getting old.
It's called the search function. And if you know how to properly use it (as in use "quotations") then you will find EVERYTHING you need.
But hey, thanks for coming out!

I quoted you saying that these cars don't have a MAF, and said that it had already been covered. But you apparently didn't "read" the whole thread or you would have seen that. Nothing like being redundant to make your day bright.
As for the "kids" who show up here every week asking the same questions.....I am not a kid. I'm 30 years old. I know what to ask, and where to ask it. I'm not posting a bunch of individual topics on stuff, I'm using my intro thread to talk about it. If you can't see the maturity in that, I suggest you go play with yourself in the corner and leave my thread alone.
And thanks to everyone else who decided to discuss the water pump pulley in here.
I will look into that. The AST is already something I've come across on here, VIA THE SEARCH FUNCTION, which is actually bookmarked in my FD folder right under this forum's addy.I think, for the most part, that I am asking normal questions especially concerning the race equipment.
So, carry on. Remember, there are two of us building cars here.
If you feel that I have attacked you, please slap yourself in the face.

Very true, this guys thread is no place to get in to a pissing contest, but on the upside the OP has probably learned that there are varying opinions on the forum. but i think he knows that already.

None taken !
I just try to help, YOU (the reader) have to make a decision based on the input given, and have to warm up to the idea, or decision, because in the end, it's you(the reader) that has to Pay, and Live with it. If someone wants to take the chance of running stock AST, Untuned, No Cats etc.. etc.. (not this particular vehicle) but as an example, and people tell you "Stop" and you continue, that would be your fault. Just as much as purchasing an "Anti Detonation" device (Search) and find out you drive like a grandma and wasted $500 + a trip to the northeast... It's YOUR car, YOUR $$, and YOUR responsibility, get all the advice you can get or buy, and make an informed decision.
BTW, your silver FD looks very tastefully put together ! And Good luck with the post starters Rd FD, looks like a labor of love, with the former being the bigger part of that equation.

Well, I got the spec sheet for the car.
2000mi on new motor (rebuild)
AtkinsRotary.com Rebuild (Kit C)
Streetport & polish
Rx7store Extreme Fuel System with 1600cc secondary/850cc primary
Greddy TypeRS BOV
HKS 50mm wastegate
HKS Twin Power
Power FC w/ Commander
HKS Superdragger exhaust
Exedy lightened flywheel w/ 6-puck clutch
Walbro 255HO
60mm Defi gauges with Defi Link
HKS Type-1 turbo timer
OBX 64 trim .84 A/R
Laptop with PowerFC software
Tuned to 1 bar, should make approx 450rwhp according to owner who built the car. Car has never hit boost since rebuild.
Found out the intercooler piping hose on the turbo side wasn't even clamped down. So I fixed that tonight. Started stripping the car, beginning with the hatch, until a buddy of mine suggested that he might want the FD in exchange for a mildly built 03 bug-eye WRX.
So we will see if I even have the car in a week. I go back on the road in 3 weeks after my hand heals, and I might enjoy a car more that doesn't need work, and also fits me better with my 6'4/240lb build.

Well, she's up on stands, with the interior gutted and some body panels removed.
New stickar!
And possibly some new graphics for me, another FD in my club, and a 350Z.
