Hey guys currently have a engine being build for me by rx7Specialists in Calgary Alberta. stock rebuild with better than stock rotor housings and race apex seals.
anyway im making progress. started taking the engine out yesterday ill throw up some pictures as well

so far rad, exhaust, driveshaft, chargingharness, intakes are all off

today i gotta pull the ecu plugs threw the firewall then im gonna hook up the hoist take the 2 mount bolts off and start taking bars off to lower the trans down,

are there any plugs i have to remove on the trans if im taking the engine harness out with the engine?

also what is this plug it has been off since i bought the car?

That plus has something to do with your boost control, there must be an aftermarket boost controller in the car. That plug gets disco'd when you run a EBC. I believe that's the case.

joelkarlonas

i found this ecu and should be lifting the engine tomorrow sometime

joelkarlonas

so i took the 4 nuts holding up the transmission off and the 2 underneath the engine and it wobbles back and forth like it should, but for some reason when im using my hoist it will lift up a bit then stop lifting

The starter is held on by one bolt and one bolt&nut... Underneath (once removed) there is another bolt under where the starter is...*

Before you disconnect it all, make sure you undo the clutch assembly... *Etc...

There are a few videos online about it...

Basically...

Remove clutch slave...
Remove access planes to looks into bell housing
Push fork assembly forward, then with a screwdriver, 'twist' in between the gold circle clip... And the fork assembly to seperate


This is a video, of what I just tried to explain...



There are 4.... Connectors on the tranny that go to sensors,*

They need to be disconnected, as they are apart of the engine harness...


Cheers (from Red Deer)

i got the engine out same day as my last post, then problem was a turbo intake piece getting in the way. ill post some pictures after this post,

anyway new engine from rx7specialists should be here anytime next week. i haven't taken much off the old engine frankly because im scared as **** looking at all that ****

is it really as bad as it looks?

joelkarlonas

Hey engines done tonight apparently so here in a few days. Can't put up pictures until tomorrow but flywheel is off, turbos and exhaust mani off, upper intake mani off some other **** looks a lot easier now just time consuming I took tons of pics.

joelkarlonas

so engines out and every single thing is off of the short block, wasn't very hard at all, i was most nervous about the rats nest but i took it all out as one big piece as you'll see in the pictures. the new engine will be here this coming Tuesday and i should be receiving pictures of the new engine today hopefully

joelkarlonas

joelkarlonas

Nice looking 3rd gen there, more pics all around and I prefer photo bucket to do forum pics,
just got to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket it's free. As I have buttoned up an engine replacement a few months back I sympathize about the leaks and tracking them down had one that took a month to find on the back of the water pump housing. great to here you got it fired up, will be waiting to see how she runs.

what do you mean better than stock rotor housings?

joelkarlonas

ment to say better than used stock, so mint close to new



anyone know what could be causing this? i took a look under the UIM and all the vac lines are connected, it just happened once i boosted for the first time on my rebuild

joelkarlonas

So nobody cares but winters over in Regina SASK. got my emissions delete all done. I used Rotary Resurrection's 3rd gen emissions delete guide.
I got the banzai racing block off plate kit. Had no idea how much **** the JDM intakes don't have compared to the USDM. anyway I also got the OMP block off kit. Also I heard for premix 1oz for every 1gal. If someone can confirm this that would be super.
So I work in the oilfield and its break up due to mud. I have been waiting for EI for two months now.
I haven't decided if I want to run the non sequential twins and drive. Or just go with my build and wait to finish to drive it. I already cut out the flapper doors, ill decide when I get my EI. If I'm still alive when that happens.

Anyway for all those wondering.
Official build:
rebuilt Stockport (1,700km��ATM)
Gt3582r ball bearing
Turblown enineering turbo kit
2000id secondary's
Stock 550 primary's
400lph pump
A1000 regulator
Power FC
Custom vmount intercooler kit
HKS twin power
Tien super drift coils
Haven't decided on brake kit
Haven't decided on a clutch

Anyway ill put up some pics of the engine all emissions free and also I rewrapped my engine harness and stripped all the emissions wires.

joelkarlonas

So car is running basically stock right now with rebuilt stock port and race apex seal engine; power FC, innovative mtx-l wideband, Feed 3.5" full exhaust no cat and apexi intake filters. Full emissions delete and OMP delete. Full non sequential conversion. I rewrapped and deleted all unnecessary plugs from the harness. Waiting for my experienced friend to tune it Monday or around then.
Any idea what wheel HP I should be able to put down?

joelkarlonas

Tuning her Tuesday.

joelkarlonas

Moved to Friday.

I have a issue.
At idle my dash rpm's read 900 but my power FC reads 1,700

joelkarlonas

My breaks don't work, I bled them and they felt alot better. But the car was off and I started it today and there soft as **** and when I press then my car revs higher

joelkarlonas

Both issues resolved, And car is now basic tuned and drive-able
