Stock 13B REW Problems
Hello all,
I'm currently having some problems with my 2002 spirit r that i imported in may of last year,
Please excuse my poor spelling, and other technical noob like behaviour..
I'll start by explaining what ive noticed since getting my rx7
It started with a burning smell, i figured it was oil
Few months later, if i drive it hard and take it over 5k rpm then when shifting into the next gear it's extremely sluggish and feels limp.
and the last time i drove her, i took it pretty easy but noticed smoke coming from under the hood when i pulled up in my driveway.
Opened the hood to find oil around the air intake pipe leading to the turbo.
Again excuse my lameness but i'm thinking it's a blown turbo?
any ideas or comments would be great. I love my pride and joy and it sucks just seeing her sitting there!
