well it looks like i have to post 5 times before i can create a post.... so here goes

just inherited a 1986 mazda RX-7 turbo II just got it into my driveway...
bit of a story behind this car but we will get into that later....
the car has not been running in 2 yrs... turns over nicely ..... but the fuel pump is pooched... been reading alot on this site today hoping for some pics of things... found what i needed to figure out .. the pump is shot..


where to buy a pump??? locally it is like 290+$$$ so looking to keep on the cheap...

 

hey good luck man

 

Damn, Im new to rotaries, but 290 seems like alot for a fuel pump. I know I got my Walbro 255 for the 240 for less than that

 

Just realized how many "200" numbers I put in that last post. Gave me a chuckle. Yes, a chuckle.

 

i will join u in the chuckling!

 

Welcome!!

Go to the junkyard alot of older Mazda's used the same pump!

 

hey welcome, i guess you and i have one thing in common an rx7 that has to be driven flinstone style.

 

Make sure you get the proper fuel pump. Not every FC pump will be sufficient despite the fact that they will all fit.

NA vs TII pumps are different.

 

HeY man I got it running !!!!!! its idling rough really bouncing... 1100 to 1500 after about ã min of running. vacum leak is my first suspect... any other ideas are appreciated...

 

Welcome and congrats on getting it running. Inherited a RX-7, I wish i was that lucky.

 

Are you sure of the year ? Because I didn't think that they made the TII until 87. It could just be a TII transplant like I am hoping to do with mine.

 

inside the door it says 86...

 

though it says 86 check the month. anything over like the 7th month or so is the next year i forget what exactly..

 

sounds like we need some pics of your new 7!!!

 

excellent idea
i w9ill go do it now!!

 

Mine did that all the time when it was cranked cold, i believe it just does that, if it doesnt go away after 5 minutes or so of runnin it maybe be a vacuum leak

 

ya the bouncy idle goes away after it warms up.... thnx guys here are some pics

 

that doesnt look to bad for it not runnig in awhile, congrats on that by the way. you say its sputtering and idling at 1100-1500?

 

the idle evens out after a few min... after it warms up... no real issues with it now!! wow is it quick and i love how i can hear the turbo!!! likes to get loose in the rear end!!! love this thing!!! the oil pressue gauge seems to read low and the boost gauge stays at rest until u get your foot into it... but those small probs i will take as old age...

 

grreat car! similar like mine!

 

have fun

 

I inherited an 86 also, parents didnt want to maintain it anymore, and it wasnt being driven enough.

Yours should be an 87, like it was said above, there werent any turbos in 86.

 

welcome
