knight sports rx 7
Recently picked up an knight sports rx7 from tyee imports, love the car, but unfortunately have no idea how to use the boost controller ( ebs III) or turbo timer (divor sml-m) or even what the car has in it. I have spotted out a few things but the rest is going to be a learning process.
How ever I did get a list of things from the website
1994 Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo, FD3S, 5 speed, 98,000 kms, 17" upgraded wheels, Knight sports ground effects, custom interior, exhaust system, custom gauges, upgraded INTERCOOLER, AIR CLEANER, Intake, upgraded clutch, LSD, Turbo timer, V mount FMIC, Coil over suspension. MAZDA SPEED 300km meter, MAZDA SPEED SHIFT ****, BOOST CONTROLER + METER, PUSH BUTTON Engine STARTER, SHIFT Light, Turbo TIMER, upgraded Steering wheel, Zeal adjustable suspension.

any who on to the point of this post. I popped open the oil cap last night only to discover that the oil cap was completely covered in white frothy foam as far down as I could see, I checked the dip stick which still resembled oil but smelled like there was fuel mixed in and was a little sticky. I then checked the coolant res and it was low but did not have any coolant at home so did noting with it. the hot pipe on the intercooler was also a little more warm than usual, but the cold pipe was still cold.
so i guess my questions are
1. why was my oil foamy
2. im going to change the oil but how much should i put in.
3. any one else have an ebs III boost controller and know how to use it.
If any one can help me out i would really appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum.
If the PCV system has been removed or is not functioning, foam or gunk in the oil filler tube is not uncommon. Normally, this kind of thing is circulated into the intake to be burned in the combustion process. It's not harmful, but it's not pretty either.
For the oil amount, download the factory service manual for your year of car. Links are in the the technical section FAQs or elsewhere on the net.

Hey thanks im still having a hard time believing that every time I look in the garage that that is actually my car and that I can drive it. I'm still getting used to all of the people coming up and commenting on it and asking all of these questions about how much whp it has, and all the stares. I suppose its a little bit more of a head turner than my Gt4 (rip)
