Cool. I can meet you during lunch again or any time between 5 & 7.

 

I think between 5&7 would be much better,ill give you a call about 5 and let you know.Thanks

 

well, im back from florida, and I swear I will never ever bring an rx-7 there. Those people cannot drive worth a ****. Anyways I'm back so...yay

 

well, heres a **** load of pictures of the rx2.3 stuff. in order, and it was just kinda thrown together since im on my way to work right now. what you see is all at my house, i still need to get the ecu and wiring harness from joe, but we were so tired after yesterday. let me know what you think

 

 

 

the rear of the car still needs to be actually painted, i just threw that down so it woudlnt rust up on me because i took out the tar. also, the intake ports are CLEAN. there is no carbon in there at all. all i can say right now is...

 

Thats a rotary inline 4 right?
Clean that puppy up and make it look pretty.

 

yup, thats the plan. theres a couple things i need to do to the motor, like new oil return line and so on. my friend adam that had the turbocoupe knew the owner of the merkur when the motor got rebuilt, and he knows a few things that need to be done to it. i did away with the egr valve, i have a manual boost controller, i want to polish up the turbo, and valve cover. i need to rotate the upper intake so it clears my hood... stuff like that. my dad just got a power washer, so ill probably blast the engine bay and tranny, so if i ever do get it up on a lift, it will be pretty under there

 

just out of curiosity, what car is that engine from?

 

Merkur!

 

exactly, its a merkur xr4ti. pretty ugly cars.. but they are fast

 

That is a fugly car!
Check out the RX-8 drive the Mazda Sports Car Club of Washington got. They've got it made. I should join.

I still like the 3rd gen better. The RX-8 is too big. I like my cars like I like my women, small with twin sequential turbochargers.

 

MSCW events are always great as well. We should all go sometime.

 

is anyone going to hyperfest next weekend? i know me and a couple people plan to go on sunday.

on another note, i ran a 26.52 today at g-force... thought that was kinda cool. i had 4 laps under the 26.75 limit for superkarts oh well, theres always next time. i cant stop wasting car money on that damn place.

I will probably be working.

I met a guy named Spencer the other day that has a 10AE. Very nice car, he had the s5 turbo put on it, RB DP & MP, FCD, a few other goodies that I can't remember. He has the hot start problem that I had though.......not a good sign at all. I told him I would be in touch the next time we went autocrossing or to get some drinks.

 

Ok Robin, I've read up on turbo valves. The wastegate & the pop off valve both limit boost, but the wastegate limits boost & turbo RPMs by bypassing the turbine. The pop off valve simply vents boost while the turbine continues spinning at full RPMs. The blow off valve just blows off boost when you let off the gas to prevent surge to the compressor.

So if you have a high $$ turbo that can withstand high RPMs, you buy a pop off valve to keep the RPMs high and minimize lag. If you have a low RPM turbo, you use a wastegate to bypass the turbine. So I guess turbine RPM & boost are directly related, so what is the redline of the stock turbo (boost & RPM)? I'm sure Joe knows. Post count=knowledge right?

 

Whats that?

 

I beleive it is some thing that is sponsored by NASA that follow their events. It gives people the opportunity to get on the track for some parade laps but I think their is a car show involved as well. I think the one coming up is at Summit Point?

drift event, racing, bikini contest/model search, car show.. stuff liike that. its $15 to spectate. me and a couple friends are going sunday. theres another thread in this section on it. from what i hear, last years even was badass.

 

It is an effort to steer some of the ricer crowd toward the road racing world rather than the drag racing world. Hey most of the ricer crowd goes away in a few years, but you can manage to convert a few into worthwile members of our community. I think it is a worthy effort.... and I enjoy the bikini contests :-)

 

im actually looking forward to some drifting/racing/bikini contests.. does that make me a ricer?

 

I mentioned it to zach,the big show is next weekend(july 12th&13th)its gonna be a wild event titi flying everywhere.Its at dinwiddie,its a truck,car,and bike show with a bunch of wild events.You can stay overnight and keep partying and enjoying the festivities.This is a wild event and would recommend anyone who enjoys beer,women,cars,and wild and crazy stuff to be there.
