Gotta undo motor mounts tomorrow and jack the motor up. Sump isn't sealed well.. it's pissing oil!! Then going to dyno next week get a proper tune done.

Once car is tuned then will order Adaptronic ecu from Elliott. Keen to give it a bash

So the oil leak has been sorted atleast.

Went to get the car tuned however I was receiving RPM interference and "Home" and "Reference" errors on the Microtech handset. The timing was jumping all over the place.

The guy managed to tune the car a bit so I can drive it. So then my mission was to sort out the interference issues and the errors. Turns out wires were wrong way around on one of the crank angle sensor plugs Changed the wires around and no more errors or red light on the ECU happy days!!

So gonna take the car back for a tune sometime soon so I can go race the car and enjoy it a bit.

The guy who fixed my ecu problem has a nice Borg warner S400 76mm turbo for me with a 1.10 exhaust housing Going to buy that and get a new manifold made same time but first Im collecting some fuel goodies to go with the larger turbo

Things on order at the moment:

1x bosch 044 fuel pump
1x AEM FPR
Aftermarket Primary and secondary fuel rails
2x 1600cc secondary injectors

Update time

Got the car tuned eventually after fixing the errors with the crank pick ups. The clown who wired it in mixed up the polarities on the one plug

Anyway car is running nicely now made some alright power for the current setup that is in the car. Atleast I can enjoy the car now that it is tuned properly

Car made 348hp at 13psi. Wanted a pump gas tune so we stopped the tuning at that boost

Went to ODI yesterday it s a local abondoned irfield where we can do 400m and 1kilometre top end runs

Was a leka day out with the mates. Even better to put foot flat without worrying on speed fines haha

Car went strong the whole day there and back long *** drive no issues besides the headache when I got home

Car was boosting 0.9 bar yesterday and was running lovely.

Got 223kmph on the 1km and 222kmph on the 2nd run

Ran a 13.27 at 169kmph on the 400m

Most fun ive had in a long time must definitely do it again.

Only raced 4 wheel drive cars yesterday didnt do too bad

next time some aviation fuel and higher boost for sure

Hi guys,

Not too much to update here

Car has been running 14lb boost and is going nicely for a tiny t3 turbo on the car.

Future plans will still include a way bigger turbo to make some proper power

The FD is getting shot this weekend for a local online magazine

Have been so busy with my new project gathering funds that the rx7 hasn't had much done to it recently just been enjoying driving it and waking up the neighbourhood

My new project with the Rx7

Recently fitted some Carbon Ganador super mirrors will upload some pics

Also went to a local meetup of some of the elite cars in the car scene in JHB on Saturday awaiting some pics from that event.

Great looking car! Love it!

Not sure if you're aware, but where your trailing arm connects to the lower control arm there should be a pillow-ball bushing and not a poly bushing. That's why its popping out like that. The pillow-ball bushing is held in by retention clips which keep it in place. Not sure if you put a poly bush there intentionally or by accident.

Thanks for the info man. I had aftermarket trailing arms in, they were making a knocking noise so got standard arms and some guy put poly bushes in. The arm popped out twice, so I took the arm out and bought stock trailing arms, put them inn and everything is 100% now

Just keeps getting better man, that other set of wheels looks sweet too! I'm surprised you haven't gotten a feature in one of the local car magazines/ sites yet. Keep it up

Getting my new turbo sometime this week or next week,
Then need to buy new wastegate then will send car in for new boost pipes and downpipe as well.

Hope to make some proper power with new setup.

Will change injectors, fuel rails, FPR, and add additional fuel pumps in the new year
