My sequential build
The car is built just tuning it now and I didn't take any where near enough pictures but here it is the progress from initial purchase all the way to today hope you enjoy.
This is what it looked like when I found it, it was an estate car j found in Laramie Wy with 89k miles on it. The silver Genisis Coupe in the back ground what the car I got rid of for this beauty. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d1c77c84a5.jpg The first problem arises a cracked and leaking radiator hose replaced it with these awesome green ones. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f2fb3a55bd.jpg These clamps are terrible to work with they were replaced the next time I removed them. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d4b2ec8191.jpg |
Then the terrible happened a blown coolent seal first was denial when I got the low coolent light, and then I started looking for a leak somewhere because there is no way it was a blown coolent seal. Nothing was found and the disassembly started.

The car stayed like this for a year and a half. When I got back the real work was going to begin. |
I got home in December of 15' after being gone for 18 months and was super excited to get to work. I pulled the motor and sure enough the rear rotor was toasted.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9bac8e4d4b.jpg The progress my wife was so mad https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...716e640ad0.jpg Engine pulled ready to clean up the engine bay My plans were to make a BNR sequential capable of make medium single power with an awesome power band, and being as reliable as I can make it. This meant getting rid of everything stock that could cause problems. The parts/mod list New housings and irons New bearings New hard seals all OEM Mazda, figured the first set lasted 90000 miles they can't be that bad Pineapple racing HD o-ring kit Pineapple racing medium street ports with large exhaust ports. I port matched everything including intake and exhaust manifolds Removed the MOP so I could use full synthetic Studded the short block with rotary works standard size studs Lightweight flywheel Spec Stage 2 clutch RX7 store DP and MP Replaced stock solenoids with AZknights Sakebomb coil kit Sakebomb dual 25 row oil coolers with thermostat Mishimoto radiator CX racing coilovers Stop Tech brakes Aluminum pulleys Adaptronic ecu Full Function Engineering fuel system with the new ID 1700s and ID 1000s I replaced the entire fuel system with AN-6 Teflon lines Flex fuel sensor Supra TT fuel pump Relocated battery 950 cranking amp odyssey battery Pettit racing intercooler and AST New water pump Drilled water thermostat And a bunch of other smaller things https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5d0657ab30.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2a89416b4a.jpg |

The brakes drilled and slotted because I was uninformed when I bought them future me would have simply bought slotted https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8bcb1400e8.jpg Comp clutch flywheel https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...205cb9b443.jpg The new radiator https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c196ca7478.jpg Excessive motor mounts I liked their design https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7b4bfdbe70.jpg New silicone heater hoses https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ef16a40c6e.jpg Innovate wideband https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...939a8fb13d.jpg The brain https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d20853120d.jpg Spec clutch pressure plate https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...52a5b5db63.jpg The stage 2 clutch https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2085b32522.jpg This thing is massive https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...44cf7a8bc4.jpg Size comparison |
The engine build I did all of this myself. I was a helicopter mechanic before my current job in the airforce and figured if I could strip one of those down to bare bones this wouldn't be a problem. I bought all new plates and housings because I didn't know the condition of the originals and had the money at the time to do so. This proved to be in necessary but I used them anyhow. The porting took the longest and was the most painful process. I took my time and dos the runners on the conservative side.
I practiced on the old ones and found I could make this look pretty decent so I dived in after doing one of each port. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fdcce76a12.jpg The next few pics are of the process and some before and afters https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1165e1b87a.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...50caabdb3c.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...663998f53e.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b9b38e5cd6.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e45b875c02.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6557bf631e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4f60b3ab99.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cdcfc0f28b.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bdc0390624.jpg I also decided to port and polish the oil pump this wasn't the completely finished product just imagine the passages a little more rounded and shinny https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...04be1d0526.jpg |

The next step was to start assembling the short block I didn't take very many pictures of this but to anyone out there the oil rings are insanely sharp and I needed stitches after learning this. The worst part is the time consuming task of grinding the side seals to fit.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0626a598f.jpeg I stretched a rear gear bolt don't know how my torque wrench was set right maybe it was just it's time https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f79ac0d28.jpeg Block all bolted up I used rotary works studs the only thing I wish was that they had a hex head in the top https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...674490ebd.jpeg Close up the pineapple washers didn't look like they would seal great so I added some blue RTV https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...672814275.jpeg Progress doing as much on the stand as I can |
Finaly got my counterweight in so I could install the fly wheel and therefore the front cover and pulley. Now it is time to tackle the harness problems the engine harness was cooked with 90000 miles on it so I stripped it and re wrapped it with F4 tape and covered this with electrical tape.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...75a4883da8.jpg Now I could start focusing on the car more. The harness in question https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...01fd87dfda.jpg Re wrapped with the F4 tape I thought the color would look okay yea no it didn't I wrapped this with black https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b63bad6441.jpg Almost ready to install just need the clutch and turbo and uim |
Oil cooler, ignition, and some trans bracing.
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d1b40d0fd5.jpg Bonzai trans brace this thing is beefy https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a918d38364.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7cfb3117c7.jpg The oil coolers installed https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fe7319dd00.jpg The other side these things are massive 25 row but need the extra area in the alt of Wy for the less air density. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4eec4a4969.jpg The battery relocation in progress https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a6474ea32a.jpg Almost finished with the wire for the relocation https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...88e77c958c.jpg The sakebomb ignition it was a pain to fit all of the wiring under there for a good look https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cf6faf9498.jpg Just a better picture |
Whoaw eh! That's fast progress
|
I love all the new plates and housings! Great progress.

The turbos went with BNRs just think they are the best option the revolution ones were out of my price range
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f0c3598203.jpg BNR stage 3s https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...81d5857b9b.jpg They look awesome https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...62952de732.jpg Ported the intake pipe as large as I could https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...625b3d9c7d.jpg I was missing the y pipe https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f0f2e7e4f8.jpg Missing the y pipe https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...262cce7c44.jpg Got the y pipe in, its a huge extension https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...230fd7367b.jpg The clutch installed |
Just as a side note this peice is almost impossible to get if it doesn't come with the clutch.
