HAHAHAH HAIRY WOMEN!!!! i didnt mean it that way lol, i played soccer there, and coach compared evergreen to spscc, spscc as the little brother of evergreen. i dunno. ya ladies groom at spscc though, but too many high school girls :P

 

HAHHAHA. man i live right by evergreen and work out there now and again and i will say....seeing some of those ladies in the gym can make a grown man cry, or vomit. i can smell the ******* BO from my house.

 

i've been going there for a year and a half about and i like it. hot girls, nice campus, teachers are chill, tuition is cheap (relatively).

 

Hey Marc RX7 looks good man...Cars been thru alot hahaha...But anyways ive got couple more mods I have to do with my Z and hopefully by summer time maybe we can go up to Carb Connection and get a dyno tune/Run...

 

huh, did not know that there were so many people that lived in Olympia. I am surprised that I do not see more Rx-7's around...

 

Thanks Marlino! The cars made quite the transition thats for sure.

There is alot of Olympia people! We ne3d to have lots of drives this summer!

 

hell yes! and by the way marcus you were in my old appts the other day, 2 days ago :P i reved hoping you would see me :P

 

lacey park apts? i think thats there name. off of college?

by the way guys. my ******* motor blew up in reverse today. it was built by lopy at "import auto center".....hes a sack of ****. ive had nothing but problems related to his work since day one. O-ring from oil pump through front cover slipped upon assemble or he used the wrong one...b/c my max oil press was 35 psi (this is with a 90psi RB reg) until i pulled it apart, found remains of o ring, and replaced with proper one the right way. anyway. it runs but rear rotor has 30-30-90....so im out till summer. WOOT

 

this is disappointing to hear about Lopie because I have only heard good things and seen good things with his work.

 

My buddy had his supra engine built there..lopie did some oil mods and when he fired up the engine he has some much oil pressure it caused some serious damage(wasn't there can't remember what all damage he said). I will say, that when I started my engine i had only 11 psi of oil pressure at idle, and 4k rpm i had like 35psi. This is with the stock gauge, an auto meter gauge, and a manual one tapped into the block. HE said this was normal! And he also told me that the FSM is wrong. yea whatever pal. I fixed the problem by pulling off the front cover and replacing the seal from the front cover to iron from oil pump, theres an o-ring that upon assembly he either let slip or placed the wrong one there.


Anyway. I drove the car to school yesterday and when i backed up into my parking spot i felt it let go. I didn't boost the whole way there.

Setup.

-13B, solid corner seals, 90 psi regulator, mazda factor 2mm seals
-garret gt 32, 550 primaries, 1000cc secondaries, walbro 255
-Haltech E6k AFR's tuned with Innovative wideband.

I was running 11.1 AFR under boost in 4th. Running off my turbosmart wastegate spring, saw depending on conditions about 11.7 psi max most of the type 10psi +/- 1psi. And stock base map timing. Motor was fine from my end. I've had nothing but problems since he touched it.

Oh well this summer I'll be back stronger. I'm thinking a half bridge and a bigger snail. Or maybe just a good street ported pineapple with my same setup. The car pulled when it ran. When it had strong compression i said 90 psi on both rotors all the way around. I love the turbo, i got it from Dave at Speed Machine Performance. It has great response and pulls all the way.

 

Hey guys, I'm pulling the engine out this weekend. I'm going to have Dave at Speed Machine Performance build me a engine I think. I'm debating between him and the other Dave and Pineapple. Pineapple is persuasive because I know Dave does great work and is experienced on top of the fact that hes close to home! Although Dave at SMP is a great guy and I'm a fan of his work. Anyway I'm just gonna do another street ported engine. Although this time its going to be built to last more than 10k. hahah.

 

wow that sucks, looks like u dont need my mirrors or tail lights after all :P lol that was funny, i drove my car home and back to school then finally noticed it.

 

hahaha. yea, ill be back in action soon.

 

I would recommend against going bridge just for longevities sake. Go with a decent streetport and a bigger turbo. After you get over the pain in the wallet of building these engines then it just gets annoying!

 

yea i hear yea man. That gt32 will put down 400rwhp easy though. thats by no means a small turbo.

 

yea i hear yea man. That gt32 will put down 400rwhp easy though. thats by no means a small turbo. bigger sometimes isn't always better...a turbo capabale of 500 hp isnt necessarily a good street turbo in my opinion. it all depends on the driver's preference

ie the powerband they want, the boost they want to run, etc.

Although, who doesnt want more power? hahha

 

I wasn't trying to be a dick with that previous post either....caught me early in the morning. hahha. anyway. i would love to have a bigger snail. but dave and SMP told me that gt32 will do 400rwhp all day long reliably. The thing that sux is im going to have to send it out b/c im sure the turbine wheel ate some apex seal. damn't!!! today is my birfday! all rotary gifts welcomed! hahahha. have a g day guys

 

hey theres another blue fc s5 at school i saw him today, thought it was u for a second but then was like...wtf why would he take his hood off for a stock hood

 

wow, don't remember that but it sounds like me. I've been in the game a while now...

 

hey are you dating a girl that works at starbucks and goes here too? shes hella cool rides a streetbike? hahah. i can't remember her name but she told me her boyfriend has a rx7 "like man" hahaha. pretty broad description but anywho just curious.

yea. i decided to convert my car back to non turbo....take off the carbon fiber hood and i sold my rims for some 13 " hub cap spinners. there not 20's, but THEY CLEANNNNN. hahhaha

 

hahahha. "BALLLLIIINNN". yea you've been on the forums as far back as i can remember. i started browsing this here site in about 99. anywho, our "deal" only took a minute or two. everyone at that safeway we met at probably thought it was a drug deal till you busted an oily engine part. hahha.
