So, a little back story...
Found an RX7 on Craigslist, Non-oped, passed its last smog... however, with the AFM disconnected it would continue to run with a pulsing Idle. So i bought it, and towed it home. Well I removed the intake manifold and the fun began. replaced all the hoses, with silicone got rid of all the RTV replaced the check valves Replaced the gaskets cleaned the Injectors Rebuilt the OMP lines Cleaned and repaired the VDI Cleaned and repaired the 5th and 6th Port actuators. Replaced TPS Put it all back together this fixed the pulsing idle, still wouldnt hold an idle got rid of all the check engine codes checked the fuel pressure, 38psi and holding dropped 6 psi over 5 min Ran a compression test, 90psi on the front rotor, 70 on the rear. So, havent even got to drive it, and time to rebuild the motor. Going to tear it all back down to the keg and rebuild it. Front Rear |
So, the question is this
Goopy, Atkins, OEM seals? is there another? Looking at a rebuild and a small street port. I want to keep it smogable. |
I don't know about Cali rules but I rebuilt mine with atkins kit and had them port my irons. so from my experience I really like atkins, they are helpful and the price is not too bad.

most i could get away with is a mild street port, and still smog.

If you want to make some more power easily get turbo exhaust sleeves for the housing, or cut the diffuser wings out of yours. If you dont run some big dumb exhaust it shouldnt be that much louder. Doesnt change port timing, so emissions and driveability doesn't change, but it increases flow.

Motor is out, and disassembled, had 3 piece seals, and the front iron appears to be just slighty damaged, long weekend, pictures to follow.
