WOW! All I can say is I can't wait to get it broken in!!!

Rob & his crew did an excellent job on this motor, it fired up on the first try and sounds awesome!

Mucho Kudo's to zayrx7 @ the RX7 Store for his above and beyond the call of duty helping me with the engine swap...(ok, I mostly handed him tools... )

Enjoy!

I have't finished downloading the video, but knowing from having bought a couple engines from Rob, and wathcing him build them, that its vasoline. Usually burns off after a couple minutes. CJ

vudoodoodoo

Damn, your car looks and sounds bad ***. Congrats!

skunks - I asked for a Large Streetport to be used with a GT35/40, max target HP, 600rwhp.

We let it run for 5 minutes, topped off the oil & coolant, then started it again for 30 minutes, topped it off again, started it again for 10 minutes, steady water temp of 86C -- Still Smoking a bit, but the MASSIVE amounts of smoke stopped after about the first 15 minutes.

911GT2 - during the engine swap I also replaced my Greddy PE with the JIC Bullet...w/out the silencer in there, it's pretty freakin loud...but then again it was 4am and everything else around was pretty quiet...

Nameless

If I remember he got a large street port.
Yea, for my engine (from rob) the smoke cleared in a few minutes. It wasn't fun tho cause it was in my garage!

BlackFC_NYC

that port job sounds BAD ***!


whats your vacuum at idle??

nocab72

vacuum was @ -5 when I first started it, after running for 45 minutes, it's up to -10 now. As the engine breaks in over the next 500 miles it should go up more as well.

Aight, well im not new and feel really stupid for asking but... Why do you not have your air filter on? esp. on a new, "bad-***" i will add, engine

nocab72

It gets a filter, just didn't feel it was critical for the first start since I wasn't going to be driving anywhere.

Also, we were a bit anxious to crank it over by 4am this morning...

If you look close, you'll see the intercooler couplers aren't even on or tightened down either...

omg i'm only getting 11.6kb/s this server is probably going to explode haha... well nocab, i can honeslty say that your setup is exactly what i want. i have been following your car since you first mentioned the gt3540 and the street port, and boy am i jealous! make sure to post LOTS of videos, timeslips, and just some cruising ****! would love to hear that beast of yours rollin down the highway btw, how much did the pinapple engine run you? feel free to pm me if you dont wanna disclose it here have a good one man

nocab72

hahah, I have a full T1 @ my house where this video is served, ummm....pegged @ 1.536Mbps right now outbound....hahahah

stokedxiv - I paid $4,300 total. That is WITHOUT a core exchange (kept my stock motor to have it rebuilt next spring, probably for another car, purchased a rebuildable core from Rob). Included LARGE Streetport, stage 3 oil mods, upgraded seals (whatever Rob uses for his 600rwhp targeted cars, I don't remember what he told me), his 5yr, 60,000 mile warranty and shipping.

wow, thanks for sharing nocab... i was thinking of getting my engine from pineapple, i've heard only good things about rob's work. i hope my engine install goes as smoothly (when the time comes, still a few thousand $ away ). i'll have to wait to be over at my girlfriend's house to watch your video tho, ******* dialup. anyway, congrats man, and keep us posted

alright, just saw the video and all i have to say is OMG... that sounds bad ***, i can't wait for more videos, make sure to post them often! that sounds like a great motor and price from pinapple i am very impressed. i think i just found where i will be ordering my engine from

cabaynes

iTrader: (4)

oh yea, i meant to ask you... what do you use the 7 for? was/is it a daily driver? (doubt it, lol) since getting the large street port is strictly a weekend toy? with that new idle does it seem like it would be a little more of a challenege to drive in normal conditions? it just sounds like it wants WOT i'm trying to figure out what size port i would want... i might want to use it for more than just weekend cruises, but i would have a daily beater. that 500+hp figure is just so much to drool over, any advice? thanks a lot...

OptusX4

All I can say is WOW. And also, I'll second everyone else: more vids when ya get a chance!

Sounds like a Harly at idle and a 4 stroke dirt bike when you touch the gas (and I bet a dragster when you punch it)! Oh yeah, i've got it looping in surround sound

matty

only 4200 that is an amazing price isnt it?
If you exchanged in your core what would the price have been? That doesnt include installing it right?

**** no cab I can't believe you are doing this to me

I am starting all over. I have to have a large streetport.
Seriously my car is now for sale. The mods are in my sig.

It has a new mild streetported motor with 3k on it and a custom paint job.
