That thing is beautiful! Can I work on it?

 

Sounds like grounds.

 

Could be..........in addition when erik and I shot the timing last night the leading coil (L1) was miss firing like crazy.
So I definitely need a leading coil, so if anyone has access to one let me know.

It's was hilarious to see how exited both of us were to see that the coil was bad.
Because every time we find something bad we are relived that it has nothing to do with the motor, just all the unmaintained non-sence attached to it.

We also temped up a boost gauge last night after we adjusted the TPS and shot the Timing. We came to find out when we were able to make boost before
the illusive hesitation would be apparent. So in 3rd and 4th gear rolling smooth into WOT from 3k to 4k it could pull stock boost before the hesitation.
We tried the same in 1st and 2nd it wasn't pulling any boost maybe a pound in 2nd. So then we tried 1st gear from a stop to 5k and sure enough not one psi,
it was basically the same story with 2nd gear too. So it looks like the twin scroll is inactive as-well.

We will have to test that to confirm it 100% but both of us have a feeling that the PO or who ever tampered with it before
definitely left dome things disconnected or simply things are frozen from not working properly.

The truth of the matter is fact that everything PO might of tried to do or replace, it has protected this motor rather then messing it up.
The PO and the person he bought it from has probably been driving this thing as a friggin' 4 port N/A for quite a long time from the looks of things.

So in a nutshell their Failure gave me and my friends the opportunity to Succeed

 

ya, I wish I had the money, I so would of bought it.....

 

The TII is running perfectly and boosting. What a STEAL at $2k--and to think, all it needed was a little love...

 

Oh yeah; except the slave-cylinder crapped out on us soon after we took it out to dial in the idle. LOL. Whatever, it's all foreplay in the world of Rx7's.

 

Anyone have on that I could buy? Hook me uP!

 

It rips.....pic post and update soon to come!

 

We have a health Turbo II on our hands...... It sure is a good feeling to take a neglected T2 and give it the love and attention is deserves. The potential is strong for this car.

 

The overhaul:


As of Yesterday:








It is a little rough around the edges but with a little more love it will be heading in the right direction.

Soon to come is fresh white trim, color matched sport spoiler, and S5 tails.
~Oh yea and a BOV later this week!

---- It blows my mind ----
