updates brotha

 

they'll come as soon as he gets his tax return.

 

ok sorry for the delay but lots has happened!


I got my power steering in, clutch master and slave replaced, oil pan gasket replaced.


Sent it over to st motorcars in gardena for a tune. They found a bunch of fun problems with the car from shotty work from previous owner. Anyway, went to go tune it and it was running lean and turns out the 720cc injectors are actually 680cc... so I did what any rx7 owner would do and went to rc engineering.

Yesterday, I grabbed some 1000cc injectors and I had the 680cc injectors put into the primarys and the 1000cc into the secondary. Also got an aeromotive FPR and a walbro fuel pump with parallel fuel rail mod. Got the safcII installed also. Gonna give it a shot at tuning again this weekend so I'll post the results!

While waiting, I have also bought more toys.. heres a sneak peek!



I also got some new higher mounts for my wing, I'll be posting that after the tune etc.

Everything is coming together! Oh.. also got new wheels... posting them later!

 

i spy logitech wheel for GT5.

 

Need more pics!!!!!!

 

oh yeah..


Look what car was next to mine at the shop hehe.

YOU NEVER HAD ME.. YOU NEVER HAD YOUR CAR!


rb26 goin into that 240 in the backround

 

LOL! And that poster is Awesome!

Are you getting parts overnight from japan for Racewars?

 

oh **** the FD that sounds like it had a 2j in it!
God why would they do that?!

 

 

lol no I was just there for the tuna...



























BULLSHIT *******, NO ONE LIKES THE TUNA HERE!

 

love your car, you dont get harassed by police with the spoiler?

sorry if i asked that b4, i dont remember lol

 

Thanks!. Honestly, I have only driven it a handful of times because of having no tune yet so I haven't really had the chance to see.

 

^ hate u lol

 

if i had owned that FD, i probably would have changed it up by now, but i suppose its hard to come to that since now it is movie memorabilia

 

Yeah they told me a while back how the came to have it but I forgot. All I know is it has been blown for years lolol.. TOO MUCH NAWSSS

 

well finally tuned! heres the numbers.

I told them to keep it pretty conservative. I want to upgrade the IC and radiator before going more.

258.8 whp and 209.3 tq


worked late into the night

 

what mods do you have on the motor if you don't mind me asking?

 

hehe I guess now would be a good time to sum it all up

stock port engine
knightsports to4b hybrid turbo (s4)
rtek 1.7
680cc primary injectors
1000cc secondary injectors
3 in TID with no name cone filter
parallel fuel rail mod
aem fpr
walbro fuel pump
s-afcII
3in dp to feed catback no cats

Pretty happy with the turn out!. Running slightly rich across the board to be safe. They said whatis also limiting me is having an s4 hotside on my turbo so once I feel like it I will swap that to an s5 hotside and run an s5 manifold. Once I get a new intercooler and install my boost controller I'll go grab another tune.

Tps was reading funny so I'll probably have to change that out too.

 

So.... when am I gonna see you at the auto-x? It's a little lonely here

 

Im getting a rear camber bar this week and then I think i am taking my car to Hotline for some alignment action and then I am ready to go! Also gotta get toe steer eliminators.


Any suggestions or advice on alignment settings?

 

They're usually to your preference, and that's determined by just driving it and trying stuff out.

A good place to start would be -3deg F, -1.5deg R, 0 toe F & R, OE caster for auto-x, and maybe -2deg F for road courses.

Pick up a temp probe so you can dial in the camber such that the tire's tread shows even heat distribution.

Toe can be adjusted depending on how you want the car to behave in the corners; it will wear your tires out more.

Lowering the car too much will put the rear roll center underground, and also results in the front wheel gaining positive camber when cornering One of these days I'm gonna figure out a way to fix both those issues

 

Yeah I know how each adjustment changes the effect on suspension but I haven't really driven an fc for years so I need a general alignment set up so I can adjust from that point. Ill give those camber settings a shot. As for rear toe, with the eliminators it will be at zero right? I should dial in some toe out in the rear then.

As for ride height, I am raising the rear a bit and the front isn't really that low so I think I am good. Thanks for the help!

 

Should come out to the pro-solo apr 9, there'll be a few FC's out there - I think 4 so far?

 

i am deeply in luv with ur car...

 

Is that at eltoro? Hehe we will see how things are around then. Is there a deadline? I'd like to learn the ropes! Never been autox, only willow before.


hehe me too. Thanks man.
