Hey every one Richard and new to site wndvalso bought first rx7. Well after a few months of trying to get my 88 n/a running I decided to check compression with a gauge instead of by ear and it did not look well so I decided to pull everything and prep for a Tii conversion.also while the engine is out I can painted do all the body work while I work on find a donor car or buying all the part. I haven't fully decided on my goalbfor the project yet but I will keep ya'll updated.

 

Sorry about that last post it was sent from my phone and a pain in the butt.

Well yesterday got the motor removed and on my table and it is stripped down and im just trying to find some one with a 21/8 socket to break the the fly wheel loose and then ill open the motor and and see whats good. Im a little worried they was alot of rust in the water pump housing and a couple parts attached to the motor were full of dirt and dirt diver nest im scared to see what in the internals but we shall see tonite im just clean and reorganizing.

The clutch looks almost brand new and once i find out how to figure out how much shipping will be ill be selling the transmission with the clutch. More pics will be posted tonite.

 

Well its finaly apart after some beating and tool making. Every thing seems smooth but coolant passages are gummed up pretty bad. The rotors look good besides carbon build up but the apex seals were able to rock back and fourth. Does any one know its that's ok? I going to buy a feeler gauge tomm and check them

 

Before and after the prime engine bay will be painted today heading to get the paint now

 

There is a (presumably homeless) person living in your bay.
If he's gonna stay, you'll have to paint him, too.

 

It's gonna be rather slow with only a 1HP (human power) motor

Sent from my GT-I9100 using RX7Club

 

Homeless person is gone lol

 

Painting complete in the engine bay time to reassemble except the engine which I haven't decided yet

 

Just a little more sanding and dent repairs on the doors and will be ready for prime and paint...most probably Saturday priming will start

 

I do have a question if any one can answer this. I have an S4 if I buy an S5 motor with the harness and ecu will the other plug that goes into it match up?

 

well i got my new rack & pinion today and didnt realize the s5 was different from the s4. Does any one know if it will make a difference since im probably putting a s5 motor in mine

 

The rack and pinion should match the chassis, not the motor, however if you have power steering I don't know if there are any differences for the pump hose connections.

 

By rack and pinion,do you mean power steering rack or manual rack?

 

manual rack im sorry

 

This

 

That's a power rack.

 

Ty.

 

As long as I install an s5 motor it should work am I correct?

 

First coat of prime found some minor body work that I didn't see before.

 

First coat of paint

 

Nice man. Black like my car

Rotary >Pistons

 

yea its coming together slowly........ now im trying to decided s4 or s5 motor.

 

Turbo or na?

S5 is better for both but parts are harder to find.

Rotary >Pistons

 

I havent updated in a while but i have good new. So last nite i was looking for a parts car..... i found 1990 gxl red in color with a uncompleted jdm swap. I went and looked at the car and it does not have a dent or scratch on it and the only thing the needs to be painted is the spoiler and the sun roof and also the interior is immaculate. I paid the guy 700 for the car and pick it up saturday. that means the one in my garage have become a parts car but i like to believe i got a steal.
