Ill be honest with u. I'm watching the mazdatrix video just like u. I bought the motor from a jdm motor shop off florin perkins. Dropped her in and drove around for a couple of months till I blew my motor. I'm in the process of rebuilding my motor just like u.

By the way there are no reputable rotary shops in sac where did u take your car. And if I'm correct before u bought that car it was on craigslist for quite some time.

if ben was still in yuba city i would say go there but he isnt which sucks

About getting a rebuild in the Sacramento Area, I think i'm guna give Evil Genius Racing a chance, even though they aren't as reputable as I would like them to be. |
Hopefully everything goes good with your rebuild

Looking good keep it up and keep us updated.

Nice prep and paint work :icon_tup:. Now you'll never have to worry about having a clean engine bay that matches your paint :nod:.

Weight reduction time: Speaker tower removal, rear carpet removal, and removing bins.

Lol my FC is at EGR too! It's the black one in case you saw it.

Not bad a 31.6 pound weight reduction. What other weight reduction plans do you have in store?

2. Send the 13BT core over to the young boy at Rotary Resurrection, Reasonable price if my rotors/housings are good.
I just about died reading that! I'll have to try that line on Landers the next time I try to mooch some parts off him. What kind of goals do you have for the car? Planning those out early saves a lot of time, money, and work down the line! (Especially injector sizing, clutch, etc while the engine is out). As for rebuilding it yourself: it's not a complicated process; however, there are a lot of tools that most people don't readily have (dial indicators, etc) that are quite important. Also, things such as clearancing the side seals, inspecting bearings, and checking end-play can be major pitfalls if they're neglected. The problem with new builders is they often skip steps or think they can get away with something not being "in spec." If you take your time and check everything, they're really not bad at all. Being organized helps a ton as well. If you're sticking with the stock turbo (that one looks in dire need of a rebuild), now would be an ideal time to port the snot out of that wastegate. |

PowerFC's are nice in that they are fairly simple to use. The only downside is the lack of programmable outputs/inputs and the fact that you need an adapter box (datalogit, FC-Hako, or ironically, the ones I just started building over in the PFC forum) to datalog or tap into all of the available features.
You will likely want this adapter from Banzai Racing (Banzai is good people) to run the PowerFC on a Series 4: APEXi Power FC Adapter Kit (86-88 RX-7) It will make life all kinds of easier! Any ideas on your power goals? |

As with any modified rotary, my only suggestion is the following forum: Auxiliary Injection - RX7Club.com Anywho, looks like an interesting build. Diggin' the fact that you actually removed the speaker towers. Can't even count how many people just leave those things sitting in there and cut holes in them to fit their strut bars and such! |
So we decided on putting in S5 NA rotors instead of the S4 TII rotors since there is a lack of turbo rotors and I want to get this thing going asap.
Old Rotors https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...60314954_n.jpg Minor crack https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...49713322_n.jpg |
If u do that wouldn't u need the counter weights and eccentric shaft
|
I mean use s5 eccentric and counter weights
|
Yeah you do need to balance out the rotors
|
Wheels are here, getting tires tomorrow.
