make sure you run some heat sleeving over those lines that are running near the manifold. trust me.

Nice :icon_tup: looks like car has come along way..since the fire... great job

It looks like you're doing some quality work with the lines. Much respect for how you restored that engine bay after the fire. Did you have a lot of rotary experience prior or has this build been a huge learning experience for you?

Where did you get the exhaust flange?

I just realized this was a fire survivor, when you cleaned the bay did you respray or is that all just elbow grease?
Excellent build as well! |

To be honest, I'm not sure where or what company made the flange. I'll ask and let you know as soon as I find out.

Excellent build as well! PM'd you RXtacy. DEI and heat protecting products came in this past weekend, only had time to wrap the 4" downpipe. Attachment 657022 Attachment 657023 |

Wow I didn't mean to leave this thread abandoned for so long.
A few updates from early November... Car is alive! Running base map on the PFC, started up and idled perfect on its first try after sitting for nearly 8 months. I've been itching to drive it, so currently have the red "softest" wastegate springs in, with the boost controller off allowing boost to reach 2.5lbs peak. Few neighborhood test drives, re-torqued everything. Fuel cut on the PFC set at 5psi just for safety. Knock has not been higher than 5, A/F ratio has been perfect, with max duty cycle of 55%. OMP is disconnected and I haven't decided if I'll be keeping it, so I've been premixing 1.0oz per gallon of gas.

Hoping to install sometime in January. |
Congrats!!! Everything looks awesome!

Awesome man !

Once again I've left this thread abandoned for much too long.
I pulled the engine and transmission early March to take care of an oil pan leak, some much needed clean up, maintenance and installing new parts. The Rywire harness was a DREAM to install. Every plug was labeled for what it was and was the perfect length, I couldn't be happier. Attachment 646562 Mock-up on the engine stand. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...psf7cqc77o.jpg Going back in Attachment 646563 Attachment 646564 Attachment 646565 I've been driving the car often, couple times a week since my last post in December. Did a hill country cruise and went out to TX2K in March, met some other cool RX7 people, including the Mayday guys. A couple pictures from both: Attachment 646566 Attachment 646567 Attachment 646568 Attachment 646569 Attachment 646570 I ordered an Adaptronic unit from Elliot a last week, so that along with the ID2000s will be next weekends project when it comes in. |
Wow, great stuff man. Love how you brought her back to life from the fire damage. Looking at the before and after photo of the engine bay is priceless, hard to think its the same car.
If I'm not mistaken those wheels are the Enkei NT03s? I never really gave them much thought until seeing them in your photos, they suit the car well...I imagine they look even better in person |

Installed the FFE secondary rail, ID2000s and Adaptronic on Sunday. Car started right up and idled perfectly! Went to go for a little test drive with some logging and immediately noticed something strange... I had a bouncing rev between idle and 2k rpm when giving slight throttle when trying to reverse. The car is fine once you get going above 3krpm, but anything less, the car will want to buck violently. I'll go over my logs this evening and see if I see anything strange. I'll post them on here too if anyone has any insight on what could be the case.

I saw the email between you and Andy where he gave you an updated base map and had you recalibrate your tps( since it was off). Was it the TPS calibration or the MAP prediction table that was your problem? I would like to know so I can double check what I sent you in the base map to prevent this in the future...
|
Love this build, car looks great, very tasteful :icon_tup:.
|
me too...love this build....your going to love the new computer!
|
Looks awesome bro. How does that turbo spool for you? Looks massive. Can't wait to get mine all together. I ordered an Adaptronic and ID injectors as well. Keep up the great work!
|
I may have missed it, but did you get rid of the fuel pulsator? Geez, it looks like you did some real work on that car. I love the wheels too. Probably the best wheels for it, imo. Good job, man.

The new map that Andy supplied me, along with calibrating the TPS did the trick. I can't say which settings made the difference since I calibrated the TPS before I started the car with the new map. The car idled, drove and cruised perfect. No hesitations, no bucking. In fact the car drove better than I've ever felt with the PFC setup. My TPS settings before calibration were WAY off. I'm guessing that was the cause of the drivability issue I was having. Here's a before and after screen shot of my settings. Attachment 644675 In other words, at WOT the ECU was reading only 60% throttle. Very easy to calibrate. Here are the changes Elliot made to the Predicted Map table (Before and After) Attachment 644676 I still have to get back to Andy and let him know how helpful he's been. Its awesome having the support from the Owner himself. |
