Annnnnd This is the last Episode of the Borg Warner EFR Series. This series, we install a Turblown cast manifold (and Downpipe) with Turbosmart wastegates. In addition of a Borg Warner EFR 9180. There's a lot of good info in all the videos but...The RX-7 R2 is finally ALIVE!!! On this video, I had to fix a huge damage in the the main harness and because of it, I had to fix other components. The damage was really bad but the car didn't burn down - thanks to God. Since the starter was damaged as well, I show you how to modify a RX-8 starter to fit in the FD3S. I also, used the opportunity to update the battery setup that this car had. So if you are planning to do a battery relocation, this video will help you.

 

What caused the damage?

 

The headlights support were cut to fit the re amemiya headlights. I didn't like those so I took the car to a shop to weld the support back. That day, they pushed the main harness down and cut the zip tie that was holding it in place (below the fender) but they never put it back where it was. So the tire was rubbing the harness for a couple of months.
