all comments welcome

Wow this builds advancing quickly loving it well done with the documentation too!

thanks mate. its taken about 6 months, most weekends and an hour here and there. its only money that limits the time it takes to get stuff done.

cheers :)

Nice effort.

That looks frkn sick ! well done !

sooo here is another update. all runing with water meth and my 2200cc injectors. i hadd a problem with missing spacers but the guys at DM-motorsport sent out new ones straight away. im extremely happy with these guys. i will buy from them again :)

anyway for some pictures :)

so driving along i decided to put down the foot. once fully on boost (8psi) i heard a pop and the boost was reduced to 5psi.... it was safe to say i shat myself. found this.. ~(the cheap reducer melted and blew)

all done :)

Hi Guys,

im back from offshore now and have been playing with the rx7. ive started stripping down the engine but i cant seem to seperate the engine from gearbox. ive read up on it but as mine is the HKS GD twin plate its a tad diffrent.

so ill say the story with the pictures

here is the stock engine loom
Attachment 646515

snipped plugs that were for the twin turbo solenoids
Attachment 646516

on the bench, let work comence
Attachment 646517

Attachment 646518


i know its not the most profetional way of trimming the loom but it shall do for me. all wires traced and brought back to inside the car then heat shrinked the snipped ends
Attachment 646519


some of the leftovers
Attachment 646520


alll done :)
Attachment 646521

here is what ive taken off today
Attachment 646509


Attachment 646510
Attachment 646511
Attachment 646512


soo here is what caused my engine to blow. the pipe going to the wastegate (lowest port) melted on the downpipe/wastegate and caused it to majorly overboost and die.

Attachment 646513



so have a look at this guys. all tips felt smooth with no obvious chips apart from this one in the pic below. do side seals go?


Attachment 646514


any comments welcome :)

Cheers for the comments guys,

well today was another day, paid for my replacement engine from charlieP thank you mate. street ported block this time so should be a good piece different.

took the engine out myself. no hoists or a help from anyone. (i do not recommend this) it was a FDUKER!

the worst bit was the clutch. its a HKS GD twin plate clutch. the clutch is not like standard so ill make a Wright up as its quite complicated how it all goes together on the thrust bearing. it can only come off by undoing the 6 12mm bolts, plus found a snapped spring that's been broken for years by the looks of things its been hitting the clutch face.

so here's some pics. :)

here is the clutch in the gearbox, i couldnt see nor get to the normal thrust bearing retainer.
Attachment 646504
Attachment 646505


so i eventually gave up and ondone the x6 12mm bolts from the little inspection hole after some wigiling to move it from the dowels it came off. lifted it out myself. weird that i can hold onto my hole engine. also ive got solid motor mounts that i never knew about :)

Attachment 646506
Attachment 646507
Attachment 646508



so onto the clutch. its a hks gd twin plate clutch. the thrust bearing is the pull type like normal but the way it holds on is diffrent from stock. once you have all the plates out and your left with the front plate you will see in the centre a circlip. this needs to come out. then if you look down the spindle you will see a tapered spacer/retainer with a slight split in it. this retainer holds the clutch onto the thrust bearing so becarfull splitting it. i used a terminal screw driver and picked it out. THEN it will all slide out. this is the only way to seperate this clutch and gearbox. putting the clutch on is easy. the retainer simply pushes on and clips over the ledge on the thrust bearing so you can infact put the engine and clutch back on the gearbox as one.

as always all comments welcome :)

i then seen some damage to the front plate
Attachment 646498

on further investigation i found that the clutch fork spring had broken. and i mean a long time ago! you can see the wear pictures. i need a new spring or fork assy, anyone got one? :)

Attachment 646499
Attachment 646499
Attachment 646501

i then de-greased the bay and painted it with some black hamerite to shetland proof it. (hourendous weather)

Attachment 646502
Attachment 646503


so im just waiting on the engine and trying to find a clutch fork assy,

hi guys.

been a busy bee. bought a HKS TWIN POWER ive been looking for one for adges.
also my engine came :)

here is some pictures :)
this is where i live just now. Shetland is a beutifull place although im looking forward to moving down the road to perth/livingston

ive also been helping my pal put a nice single turbo on his car. hks t51r on his supra. its a nice motor but its going to blow up most likely. it will produce too much power for an un cracked engine :)

Attachment 646492
Attachment 646493
Attachment 646494


and the best bit.

engine came :)
Attachment 646483
Attachment 646484

after inspecting it a bolt had been sheared off in the block. i just drilled it and re-tapped it.

Attachment 646485
Attachment 646486
Attachment 646487
Attachment 646488

i then gave it a clean then painted it a bit then fitted some parts. waiting for a new waterpump to come as mine had a slight leak :)

Attachment 646489

still waiting for my clutch fork before i can put the engine back in.
exiting stuff

update more soon :)

haha cheers guys. im waiting on clutch fork and waterpump/gasket to come

that's an awsome idea about bolting it down. ill take the engine to the lads up at the quary, they have pretty hefty machinery for there trucks etc. should be able to do those bolts for me :)

54mm i must remember that.

so not much got done today as i was waiting for parts. also what way do the engine mounts face? they fit both ways but have diffrent angles if you know what i mean

heatwraped my downpipe
Attachment 646466

i put it in a bucket of water to soak the wrap so i wouldnt get glass everywhere :)

Attachment 646467
Attachment 646468
Attachment 646469


then my next problem. the engine mount bolts were too short as this engine has a 10mm thick brace. i couldnt find bolts anywhere. there 12x1.25 if anyone is wondering. i ended up going to my friends machein shop and he made some for me. i then made some washers too haha honest im not a cheap FDUKER.

the weather is horrible though. its pissing it down! so ive got everything organised for tomorrow to get the engine in. even if its raining!

heres some pics of todays work.

its wet!

clutxh fork arived
Attachment 646454

fork fitted
Attachment 646455


the exhaust gasket that came off..... well it was a close one. it had warped and cracked as the gasket was smaller than the manifold. so i ported the new one to the manifold. the turbo is the same so its all port matched :)
Attachment 646456
Attachment 646457
Attachment 646458


so here is the engine with turbo on. ive put on a turbo jacket. i never wraped the manifold as i thought too much heat would crack it. so only the turbo and downpipe are heat wraped :)
Attachment 646459


all ready for tomorrow :)
Attachment 646460

speak soon guys

the spoiler looks ott tbh, it would be ok if it was down 2" or so but its deffinatly helping with grip on the back end.

well my car ran really low temp. circa 60 - 70 degreess, which is too cool. so i bought a new thermostat for 82 degrees. its installed and works lovley.
