Hey guys. my name is Scott and im new to the RX scene. ive wanted one for a long time but was always stuck on 4 cyl or V8 trucks. i bought a 1987 RX7 non-turbo about 3 weeks ago. its was little fixer upper until about a week ago i had a fuel leak and caught on fire. minimal damage was done but there are somethings im still looking for and a sensor or something that im trying to figure out. im a mechanic but a rotary motor is new to me and im ready to get down and dirty with it. ive always wanted one and i got it and im not letting it go. im glad i found this and extremely impressed with everything ive seen. hope to hear from everyone soon.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum Scott! Good luck with your new car, hope it doesn't catch on fire again lol.

 

Welcome,but its unfortunate u had to start off w a bad experience.at least u have automotive experience which makes it a big + for u.hope u get ur car running soon!btw dont miss out on 7stock next weekend.its the biggest mazda gathering/car show in so cal.

 

i wish i could go but i gotta work. whenever the next one is i will be there with my family and hopefully my car will be done up for show and track.

 

Whats up! Welcome! If you dont want it to catch on fire from the engine bay i suggest you replace the pulsation damper on the primary fuel rails.

btw this will answer a lot of your questions.

its manual for the fc good luck!

 

dude ur a life and money saver, thank you

 

lol np wish i had that guide when i first got into rotary

what are your plans for the fc?

 

well right now im gonna do the basic bolt ons, intake, exhaust and header. im either gonna lower it on coilovers or 1.5" springs with some body work and wheels. i plan on either doing a 2 gen turbo swap or a 3 gen turbo swap. my goal is to make it a street legal track car

hows it going Vert

had a question about the housing and manifold oil nozzles, do i have to use those or can i bypass them for now and reconnect all that later. just wanted to know and get an opinion before i made the wrong decision and ruin my motor

 

if your talking about the oil injectors then yes you can delete them. pineapple racing has a kit to block the oil injectors off. if you remove them you can remove the omp line but you would have to premix your gas with tc-w3 2 cycle oil i with a 1.5 ounce/ 1 gallon ratio. premix>engine oil imo..

but do no run the motor with the nozzles off cause there will be no lube for the apex seals

 

damn, it sounds like a headache already. all i have to do is find the vacuum split for them and rethread one of the line screws. i wanna do that but dont want to risk it quite yet

man it feels good to have my car back. it took some time but i did it and its running better then before

 

Welcome, good luck on the car man

 

what up bro, i live in san bernardino maybe we can go on run sometime

 

Yea for sure. I might head out to Adams Park tomorrow for the time attack

 

good luck on ur car man...i also just bought one and im new to the whole rotory scene
