Short vid of my car running...for once!
Well, 3400miles, still running strong. I'm stuck at 12psi until Steve Kan flies back out here.
http://www.rxtuner.com/submissions/9...FD_Running.wmv 1st gear had crazy wheel hop, it was on low boost (~8psi) that is the stock blow off valve, i have mounted it where the passenger side oil cooler is/was comments welcome |
sounds good the way they should sound
wheel hop sucks |
sounds healthy...nice wheels...what are those?
|
"AT Riva"
got em from tirerack.com, 17" was on car when i bought them |
black fd's own
|
man i had no IDEA fd's were so LOUD
while you were backing up in the parking lot, that thing was like a 2 stroke... but that car sounded SOOO nice on the street... wow :eek: are all FD's about this loud? BTW that the catz headlight conversion right? |

93blackFD, your car sounds so nice. On the street, it sounded killer, and the stock BOV sounded awesome. That was alot of wheel hop, what you gonna do to fix it? |
i'm installing my TII diff next weekend, going to get urethane diff mounts too
that's down/reasonated mid/greddy SP catback, i'm going to do the gotham racing resonated midpipe next, it is a little beefier than the one i have |
Beautiful car. Good to see it running. It sounded good. I can't wait to hear about and see some ownage by that car :D. When you get the Gotham midpipe on can you get a sound clip? Thanks man.
|
ugh!! I hate my car being broken, congrats on getting yours working I hope to be getting mine back on the road with in this life time
|
Sounds very nice Brian! Good thing that diff is going in there soon;)
Better check your axles for cracks as well. And your pinion shaft gear. J/K man, just remembering my wheelhop!! Dirty is the only word that comes to mind. |
oh yes...water/alky injection got installed this week, going to wrap that up today and take it out for a spin, my AEM c2di should be here by friday, just waiting on my 25row to show up so I can get the oil cooler in and hit the dyno.
i've been doing oil samples on the motor, and the bearings are fullly broken in at this point, the rotary aviation seals put lots of chromium in the oil, but i suppose that was while they were breaking into the rotor housings, i'm still seeing traces of chromium about in the oil, i'll post mileage when this stops occuring |
DAMN that looks evil.................OH OH OH SO EVIL....

actually that's an interesting story jspecracer7, the AEM died on me once, got car towed, used bypass plug, sent back, they returned and said it bench tested okay
i put it in, did it again, this time in a parking deck, after about 5mins of driving, sent it back, but this time i put paint marker on screw heads to see if they would actually work on it---which i found later, that they cannot repair/work on them, beacuse the interior is potted with epoxy, so it's unrepairable i got it back, untouched, looks like they simply bench tested it again (at room temperature...) called and explained that i would not run this in my car, and that i wanted it replaced, they sent i back again, untouched got in touch with a manager, named "kurt miller@extension 237", he apologized completely and is overnighting me a brand new one, harness and all :D so we will see |

I may have to do the same as you and get mine repaired. |
And what is this about a harness !? Does AEM make an FD Harness !?? (Would be nice for someone to start making one :D )
I'm seriously thinking about having it put into the passenger compartment... looks like it can't take rotary heat.... Bummer :( |
no, aem doesn't make an FD harness, you make it from theirs
so they sent me a brand new AEM C2DI, i hooked it up, car ran good all last night, i get int his morning, it runs for a total of 1mn15seconds, and shuts off...won't crank, i bypass the AEM, it fires right up seriously, WTF |

Where did you go to get all the information about sending the AEM out to a repair shop? I may have to do the same as you and get mine repaired. please report this to them, it helps make me look like part of a group...right now they treat me like i'm wiring it wrong or something |
Awesome car. However it ain't BAD wheelhop unless you can physically see the car's back end hoping lol.

Tell ya what though, I'm really glad I'm not the only one experiencing these failures. I KNOW for a fact my wiring is good. I've checked it over 1000 times. AEM is really making me wish I had gone with my original plan...upgrade to MSD. |
so i found out mine blew the fuse yesterday...wonder why it is doing that
check my oiling system out https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331239 |
That is SAWEET
|
What's you,re resonated midpipe ??? Is that the one from RX-7 store ???
