I havent seen this , hah i may go home for lunch just to watch this .

Tem120 11-04-13 08:39 AM

so updates have been slow lately on the thread . But car has been under constant progress

First the damn water level buzzer would not shut up , been driving me nuts . but Did Manage to find out why ! I had left something unplugged .. oops

Then I had a small fuel leak , got that fixed asap .

my new used trans would NOT go into reverse .. Incase someone has this issue , if you forget or by mistake the copper washer falls off while installing it . that sensor does not allow you to go into reverse .

Added copper washer , and it cleared and Vuala I had reverse again .



Now in the process of fixing a bad ACV solenoid or maybe just eliminating the system ... being done with it ! LOL

Nice man, glad to see it running again.

Tem120 11-12-13 12:01 PM

It was short lived unfortunately car has been flooding when ever I shut it off . so I'm going to start to take it down and check the injectors make sure if they are leaking or not .

jacobcartmill 12-16-13 11:52 PM

that problem is the injectors about 0.01% of the time. don't waste your time pulling the injectors.

Sick build, I am myself barely getting into the nitty gritty of my Rx7. The engine was supposed to have been street ported by Hayes and Installed by Mariah. My friend and I cracked it open today after 2 days to tear it out of the car and it was stock, and an absolute crap build to boot.

We have to start from scratch now.

Can't wait to see yours once its at 100%!

Well I did have a leaky injector , But it didnt end up being the root of the issue , builder pulled the motor and fixed the issue ..

I got done with the break in , and started going into more boost now . LOL tunning for it and such ,

sofar what I've noticed is the ports may of been to big , I should of gone with a small street port car really doesnt come alive as early as it used to . even with the twins .

3500 with the stock ports the car moved , now it sorta luls there until its over 4500 . But everything else is pretty good . I guess I'll just live with it LOL

a couple hiccups here and there . LOL

One thing I got to paint my wheels , I was getting tired of the bronze , so my friend Dliverance hooked me up with a plastidip paintjob . :icon_tup:


That picture was from a quick sunday cruise to some restaurant 150 miles away.. hah break in miles .

sofar apart from the car lacking in low end , which honestly I guess isnt really TERRIBLE and a leaky water pump cover everything 's good .

ANd waiting on 1 hose to complete my dual oil cooler kit so I'm going nuts waiting for that .


BUT the real test comes this sunday . Where I plan to run the car at its first auto-x its been a long 9 months . I'm probably going to be rusty ! hah
