On February 18th we bought another Rx7. This Rx7 was a 1988 Turbo model, with many parts and a blown engine.


This car is in great shape, has a body kit, racing seat with harness, Microtech standalone engine management, v mount intercooler, dual oil coolers, strut braces, new fuel tank and much more. The engine has many extras as well such as, upgraded injectors, upgraded t4 turbo, 3inch exhaust, hks blow off valve, an external waste gate, and a gm coil conversion. The engine is a stock 6 port.

More pictures of the car.

The first plan with this car is to rebuild the engine, then get a roll cage.



The tear down begins.

 

Pulled the engine out.

 

Detonation is not good.








The "theory" is to save the rotors, and replace the housings






The "theory" is to save the rotors, and replace the housings using the ones from the previous engine above.

 

Transmission removed for replacement, 5th gear was busted.


Replacement transmission.


Mike Feiock hooked me up with some super apex seals


Inspecting eccentric shafts.



A balancing act.


Checking rotor bearings. (The old fashion way)\

 

 

hope your not using those na rotor housings... those exhaust sleeves will kill your power...and **** your turbo up if they blow out

 

thank god.

make it look sick now!

 

No i have some spare T2 housings in good condition im using, no sleeves

 

where can i get those head lights man? keep us updated on your car im still not sure if boost mine or left it N/A bridgeport...

^this.

 

I'm not a big fan of the headlights but it still looks kinda cool. Different from most drift car builds. What exhaust is that? Those tips are huge!

 

I'm not a big fan of them either but I'm having trouble with my head lights lately and every time i fix them they start with something new after a few weeks like now if i turn them on one of them starts blinking really fast up and down... its funny at first but it gets me sick lol... i guess ill have to make the bumper and lights my self tho i don't really like the lower part...

 

something just caught my eye...>>> its or was that engine Semi PP? cause i would really like to make my car Semi PP N/A if i don't go boosted and could use some advice...

 

i like the fresh to death sticker

 

+1

The car looks familiar...

 

lol what did you see, its not pp.

 

its like a borla exhaust, but the guy might have welded those tips not sure.

 

and really i wasnt a fan until i got this car, i like the pop headlights, but the look of this car sort of flows together.

 

No i know its not PP but i saw you had coverd some holes in the top of the housings and i thought it was semi-pp... im planing on doing my engine semi-pp NA but i have some issues on the throtle and intake system cause i want it efi...
