1. upon purchasing my N/A, what are some things i should inspect or replace when i get it.

2. does anyone know anything about installing extra gauges? wiring schematics, anything?...

 

I'm sure a lot of people know things about extra gauges and wiring and anything else.

 

not sure if this is the right place for this. perhaps the new member section.

1. check common-sense-stuff like your fluids and brakes. replace anything that seems suspect. i usually change fluids when i buy a car regardless of what the previous owner tells me. make sure your OMP is working or that you're premixing. do a full tuneup.

2. that's a vague question. you'll need to specify what auxillary gauges you plan to install. wiring would be pretty straightforward, again, depending on what you're installing.

 

oil temp/pressure, boost

where do i drill for all of those and how do wire them best

 

why drill anything? why don't you just get an adapter from Racing Beat?

 

let me re-phrase that...

where do i install the sensors for the gauges?

 

search bar son, hell google it

 

dude, go to RB's site look at their adapter blocks (there are 2 of them) it will be readily apparent where the sensors go. no drilling involved.

 

lord this is all beyond me, RB? im sorry, i need this more in lamen's terms.

 

RB = Racing Beat

since you don't have the yet, don't worry about it. the stock gauges may not be the MOST accurate devices in the world, but they're usually just fine for stock or lightly modified setups. when you get the car and get it all sorted out then you can get the adapter block and run aftermarket pressure and temperature gauges from it.

 

As for wiring diagrams just pick up a haynes repair manual or an FSM, they have both helped me sort things out many times. Heres a link to the tech section of rx7city.com, not the best site in my opinion but im damn gald the posted the FSM so its at easy reach. http://rx7city.com/techconnect.htm

 

Try this.

Go to the bottom of the page, blue thing that sits in between your oil filter and the engine.

 

Check your PD for a missing screw or leak's. Just to be sure.
