im gonna have to compression test my motor today.
leaving the event, it flooded out, and wouldnt start...towards the way home, it started mis firing, and seemed as if theres a stuck corner seal/side seal... today i drove it around for a bit, and it completely fell apart. im hoping like whoa that its just a coil pack, harness, shitty TPS, or something minor, but with my luck i know it'll be blown... |

i hope so... every now and then it'll kick, and it'll fire right but its like full throttle blips, above 4500...
im so bummed i havent even fucked with it... the next event is 2 months away and my broke ass has no job.... |

a little delayed update...
since the last event, i pulled the motor stripped the engine bay, and took it to forest's new shop out here to have him stitch it up. picking it up tomorrow and have to start painting it. bought new BN from him, got a supermade hood vents for my NA aluminum hood. the motor has been apart for a few weeks. ordered an atkins kit with RWS water seals/gaskets. the rear rotor took a shit. the timing was firing dead on the apex seals almost... one broken apex seal, and a cracked front iron water passage. got the rebuild kit/rotor/iron/housing from my sponsor EAM/area77rotorworks. theyre putting it back together with a small streetport, but opening up the exhaust ports a shit load. got an oldschool TRUST 3"Downpipe, rear camberbar. had forest make me some spindles to get nutty angle... still need to pay for that shit though... lol fucking taxxed out for money right now... still need over fenders and tires, and a standalone... if this motor blows im letting forest source me an SR and we're fabbing that shit up. pics tomorrow when i pick it up. hoping to make the XDC vegas event may 22nd. |
SR's aren't any better... the head set up/rockers are probably one of the worst designs for high rpm applications...
Rotarys are not good if you aren't doing everything the right way at once... but if you spend your money the right way, they are pretty reliable race engines. Good luck, anyways. |
Was forrest all phazed when you saw him?

Good luck, anyways. this is already motor number 5 in 3 years. i've only done 10 events or so, but street drove for like a year. this is my last attempt. hell RB, 1j/2j, anything but LS... im just getting burnt out on sitting out and not driving... |
SR's are great if you put solid lifters and better springs in them.
I've been reading up that the rocker arm stoppers will cause the rockers to break vs just falling off. My vote goes to 1j but you can play with an sr and still have it reliable if you put the coin towards reliability but you already know this. |

the motor was/is still in stockish form?
good inspiration man keep it up. |
What was the total weight of dry icing the tar out? My buddy did his FC, weighed it, and it came out to 100lbs.....

this car never had a wideband, never got timed, completely stock, minus an FCD, 3" DP, straighpipe... etc. had stock injectors and boosting at 10-14lbs when i'd upshift 3rd but would usually chill at 9ish, snipped wastegate line, and i just railed on it.... i beat the hell out of it. my friend timed it (hes been building crazy motors for a while) just did it by sound... it was fast, but also sped up the process of it dying. either way its whatever. the new motor is built. im buying a haltech, and making sure this one lasts cause i like the motor's. just sucks not driving and spending money that i dont have.... |

If you wanna be cheap, you can get your ecu chipped, run 850cc secondaries, and get a boost controller and be fine. The trick to stock ecu is big secondaries, and you have the best ecu because it's an '87 so it uses low impedance injectors. Haltech would be best though.
we'll see how it goes. i appreciate the help. i'm really hesitant to try new setups on my motors cause for one, i hardly have the cash to do it, and for two it always results in killing a motor and now we have a grand tied up in my new keg.... i dont want to kill it...<- the motor. lol joe, seriously your car is the shit btw. |

my friend/sponsor chris is a collector. he has a turboII powered b2200 truck with EMS, AIM display, fuel cell, crazy shit. RHD FD track car RHD FC daily tons of 7 posted up. he said if i do good, he's going to let me build an FD shell that he has with some body damage for next year. wants to do a Pport 3rotor NA. i have to throw in a gang of cash and effort but its my motivation to do good. plus i just want to get better, and have fun. chris, owner of euroasian motorworks, vegasrotary.com, and area77rotorworks (the rotary shop) has steve singh of R&R rotary coming back and forth to build motors and do some tuning to his cars. they've helped me a shit load this time around, and i want to do whatever i can to repay them. if he wouldnt have bought my harness', and built my motor, i'd be out of the game same like last year... who ever's coming out for XDC, message me for my number. i know tons of drift dudes out here so im sure i can find a place for you to crash for the weekend. |
chris is legit dude u needed help im glad to se you under his wing bro goodluck ill be at this event to show support .maybe my car will be running

thats what i ran last time. i had an rtek with rebuilt gsl-se's and afe 1000cc secondaries. it still ran out of fuel. i do need a boost controller, and i called the dude with the haltech so im going to pick it up tonight.,... im so broke, i have no tires, blown coilovers, and i still have to pay for XDC, and buy widefenders to take my car to springmountain autobody so they can spray it all in like 2 weeks.... and im buying a damn ecu.... if i make this event it will be a miracle...

you have a fuel pressure gauge in your car? If not, put one in asap when you get your car running again. Fuel pressure might be falling off at high rpm under boost. Oh, and my names Jeremy by the way, my name on here is just a dumb play with letters. The car's coming together pretty nice, and looks like you're driving pretty good, but it sucks when mechanical problems hold you back.
i will pick one up. steve told me to grab one too, and i have been putting it off.. i just bought an EBC today. thanks man, it definitely does suck. i'm running into some problems right now thrownig it back in which im pretty bummed about but hopefully it doesnt turn serious, cause i'll miss XDC... more pics soon! |
get that thing back together already... only 2 wks to go... and i want to see some FC goodness at XDC!! good job at Vegas Drift comp btw!

i'm busting on it now, but the Eshaft has a welded pilot bearing in it. waiting for a phone call on wtf to do...lol |
broken pilot shaft bearing... shit's all broken/welded inside the eshaft. hopefully i can get the majority of it out, or else i'm stuck waiting till my friend gets back from cali to rip it apart and swap eshafts.... we should've looked when it was apart, but spaced it.... shit happens when you rush. what can you do...
justin i know the pics are shitty, but any suggestions? i have the specific tool, but its litterally welded it seems. can i grind it out with an air grinder? never ran into this before, and i need to be more self dependant on this for time's sake. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0817.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0818.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0819.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0820.jpg fucking buckey.... |
Do work son!
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0822.jpg pilot bearing/seal in! thanks for helping a shit load JR! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0823.jpg Pineapple racing collant passage freeze plugs/pic of the exhaust ports by Area77 steve. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0825.jpg new master cylinder/stainless clutch line. cleared with flake! :) http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0826.jpg sickass color! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0824.jpg bought an aeromotive a1000 fuel pressure reg/fuel filter. more to come tomorrow when i get off work. i'm finishing some stuff up here tonight and going home and sleeping!!! need to weld the twinscroll flapper on my turbo mani closed before i throw it on... guess im pushing off the motor till tomorrow... need to swap trans/diff fluid, anddo some other misc shit tonight. |
good build so far! on the cage, i thought the halo had to be made out of 1 piece of tubing...wonder why they made the a pillars go all the way back to the main hoop?
|
well i guess u got it sorted!!! car's looking awesome, reminds me of my car back in the day... flake EVERYWHERE!! haha..
i won't be driving the FC at xdc, I can only drive a Mustang in competition this year.. i'm not complaining though.. haha... the FC will be at all star bash though for sure!!! good luck out there bro, i'm sure you'll be rippin! btw how are you for your suspension setup? if you need any tips hit me up via pm.. i'll be in and out throughout the week.. i'm doing a ride and drive demo with ford up in Detroit this week, but i'll do what i can to give you some input if you need it... |

left the shop at 5am, stayed up went to work, and now im sick as fuck... shouldve just stopped, slept, worked, and went back... now im donezo for a day. |
paid for XDC RD.2 tonight. can't wait to get my injectors back from RC.
550cc/680cc gsl-se's. i put the RC 900's off to the side until i pay for the haltech... paycheck to paycheck shit sucks. |
cant sleep, sick as fuck, and stresed out, going through pics on my laptop, and ran across my old daily...
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/CAM_0026.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/CAM_0025.jpg sadly, i blew it up 5 mins into owning it and it sat for 6 months... i traded this for my turboII... some say i scored, but not really... had to make sacrifices for the pro am point series this year... i still own another one, but fuck i miss this car.. |
Candy for the eyes.
Flake eeeerrrrrrr-thang. |
thanks josh! i wish someone would buy them already so i can get the ame's from forrest so i can throw on wide fenders and not have to worry about shitty spacers.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0827.jpg motor's in and i feel like death... really slow day today, but i need to make some progress. now i just have to change OMP lines/injectors, and install all the bullshit coils, and everything. gonna play around with a flame thrower setup to make dori's look sick. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0828.jpg |
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0830.jpg
rotor housing OMP injectors i still need to replace. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0831.jpg replaced some lines. luckily theres a tub of 1million omp lines here or else id be screwed lol! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...e/IMG_0829.jpg stock s4 turbo back on for now. i welded the twinscroll flapper door to eliminate it. was going to cut it out and weld it but im too lazy... and it probably wouldnt be much better.. i removed the actuator too. more to come soon. im trying to get tons of pics/work in today to make up for the passed 2 days. i need motivation... lol |
