1987 turbo2 rx7
 
My name is Aaron Love I'm 19 and I live in San Antonio Texas. Recently picked up a widebody 1987 turbo2 rx7 built by Banzai racing in 2010. I received the car in trade and don't have much rotary experience or Powerfc. When I got it the car had the turbo out and in need of a rebuild, $600 and a call to BoostLab and the 60mm turbonetics turbo was freshly rebuilt and I properly reinstalled it. However after fresh gas and checking all fluids etc etc the car did not run or idle properly after the installation, yet sounded okay but read a bit rich on the afr gauge. I believe it's flooded ATM but I know how to fix that, before that the powerfc would read substantial knock at anything over 2500-3000rpms and would not stay running unless I gave it throttle, it also starts intermittently at times and is on 2 toggle switches and a push button start. I'm confident it needs a tune and other maitenance. I'll provide the stage 1 modification plan in a link still on the Banzai website, I have yet to compression test the car but will asap and one of my concerns was the age of the build and only 200+/- miles since built. Any help would be appreciated as I said before I'm kind of a newbie to rotaries so please don't be too harsh, i have always had much respect and admiration for them. Any advice or even some help with the car would be greatly appreciated as I've yet to find somebody with rotary experience in San Antonio after inquiring in multiple performance shops. Appreciate the time taken reading my post and am looking forward to hearing feedback. Also just recently picked up a modded 1989 mx6 gt that's a really neat and super clean little car, just had to add that lol. Here is the link for the rx7

nice looking car, but my bets are on someone unloading it on you after they blew the engine. so, compression test.
