Where to start?
Sweet now where to start. Long time rx-7 owner. FIRST time turbo owner. Bought my first rx when i was 16. It was a yellow 85 GS. Nothing special. I now own a 1988 GTU and recently bought a 1987 Turbo II. Im going to have a lot of questions about this new turbo engine and i think i came to the right place. My turbo II has 53,00 original miles, but its had some "work" done to it. I noticed all kinds of block off plates and am probably goin to need some help getting it running. I was told i had bad injectors and when i went to pick it up the UIM had been removed and a lot of hoses just left unhooked hanging everywhere. SO please bear with me guys as i delve into the new project.

not much going on right now just got my injectors......now to find a little time to get it running. and does anyone know if the EGR, BAC, or the ACV for my na gtu will fit the turbo II? Plus i might be in the market for some of the split air hoses etc. The car has a Banzai racing BOP kit so all this is missing off my engine. I really want to get it as close to stock as i can so when i mod it i will know exactly what has been done. *pics as soon as i get a chance to take some during the day*

Nice welcome to the forum.. That's awesome that you found a tII with that low miles. Hopefully you get her running soon. I'm trying to bring my n/a fc vert back to stock as well for the same reasons. I would love to find a tII, but I will work with this one first since it is my first rotary.

Well I might have a problem. After I got my car started I let it idle and it ran out of gas. I went back later that night with a gas can to start it again. It wouldn't start. Im suspecting its flooded but I just got my injectors back from being serviced. I noticed there is some gas in the oil and I had a leak of this mixture coming from below the turbo. Im wondering if I have an exhaust or intake leak and the gas from the flooding is draining there. I was also wonder if it was possible for a bad o2 sensor causing my car to run too rich making it flood. Any thoughts? ?
