Roxy's daddy

It was recommended to me to start a build thread. So what i got is an 87 base model rx7 i blew original engine and decided to look for a turbo engine. I found a turbo engine that was imported from japan to Florida. It came with trans, ecu, and harness


Got it all in and wired up last year around this time. Wasnt bad since the car was a base model. Not alot of wiring to jump over. Got it running and it made good power blew my friends wrx turbo away and most other stock turbo cars i loved it. But it smoked on start up and ran really rich. 9:1 or more afr. I still havent figured that out yet. But anyway about 2 months ago it lost compression on the front rotor which was the one causing smoke because it blew coolant out of the spark plug holes. So i pulled it out and tore her apart this is what i found










Front main bearing






Rotor said hello to the housing




So im still trying to figure out what cause the bearing starvation. Im thinking my thermo pellet wasnt working right because i was dropping oil pressure to about 5 at idle but not 100 percent sure. Im sure coolant didnt help anything either. So i got new front housing and thanks to a fellow member got 2 s4 rotors and a new turbo with a bigger compressor wheel i think 73 trim and eccentric shaft and 2 750 injectors for secondarys. im in process of rebuilding it. I just finished up porting it














I used mazdatrix templates to guide me. So now im just waiting on the rest of my partsto put it together and still debating what kind of chip or piggy back to use on my ecu since ill have all the extras on it this go around. I dont im doing to badly for my first rotary build so any opionins and advice are welcome.
