1994 RX-7
-Intake, full 3" exhaust
-GReddy underdrive pulley
-Rebuilt engine by Rotorsports Racing including streetporting (www.rotorsportsracing.com)
-Blew turbos, replaced with used ones from Rotorsports
-G-Force ECU
-Blitz Single Solenoid boost cont.

Without knowing i ran the poor thing at 15 psi, while at the same time driving the hell out of it. Consequently, the turbos blew.. yet it lasted approx. half a year on 15psi (remind you with a stock intercooler and stock fuel system). I'm debating on selling her, but i REALLY don't want to unless i'm at a point that i have to spend lots of $$ to make it reliable as a daily driver

With those mods, would it be reliable if i drive it conservatively at 12psi max?

 

What size wheels/tires are you using?

I was debating about whether to get a set of SSR Integral A2s, 9 x 17, 45 mm offset all around with 255/40-17s. That's the setup that your car appears to have? Your car looks great BTW!

Any rubbing problems?

How do you like it?

Thanks in advance...

 

With those mods, you should be perfectly safe driving at 12psi as a daily driver. I know one guy that was running around at 13-14psi for a couple of years, and his ORIGINAL engine lasted to about 125k miles. The OLY reason he replaced it was because he wanted to finally get a ported motor.

Oh, your sig....
It must be 20k or less. Please, either remove the animation or reduce its size.

 

looks like you should be fine

 

Like flybye said, you are running too much boost. drop it down to 12 psi. trust me you will not loose that much power either.

cheers

 

Greeeeeeeeeeat, good to hear that the 7 won't need a loan in order to keep it a daily driver! lol (jk about the loan). I'll just keep her at 12psi, and MAX at 13psi in case i find myself doing an Indiana Jones scene with a huge boulder chasing me down the highway

The wheels are SSR Integrals, 17x9 in back, 17x8 in front w/ 275/40 and 235/40 rubber. I paid approx. $2,150 from TireRack (w/ Yoko A520s). I think the 275s are a bit too big for maximizing the handling capabilities, so i think i'll go back to the 255s as soon as they wear down. Rubbing is not a problem width wise. I have Apex'i N1 coilovers on it so basically IF i do rub, its nothing that a little adjusting won't fix (and that has happened before). As speaking for the N1 suspension, WELL WORTH THE $$$..hehe, even though i did pay $1,250 for them , but i wouldn't think twice about buying them brand new for a higher price if i had to.

I fixed the 20k+ signature problem...i think, i'm not sure how many K's my signature is, but i'm sure its less than the .gif before.

 

Thanks for the reply regarding your wheel/tire sizes! I didn't check this post before PMing so, you can just delete that PM I sent.

 

Im glad to hear your keeping the car man... we need more turbo 7s in High Tach!
