Not new to NW or Rx7s, but new to...
 
Hello all.

Im new to rotary engines... as of yesterday.. gasp. Picked up the below car and thinking to depart from my previous builds of swapping ls engines into everything I can find.

It needs work! But it wasn’t cost prohibitive from a starting point and I want to see if I can get it back on the road on a budget. First is paperwork.. then shop (or myself) to prep for the DEQ test and surging idle. Any suggestions for that would be great!

Hi Kai,

I'm just a few minutes outside of Oregon City. Send me a message.

Well, that escalated quickly!

Keep us updated.

It was The Spyder’s fault. :nod:

It’s one of those posts that you can look back and say. That’s when 20k cash went poof! :burn:

Statistics indicate the molested are more likely to rape others.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fe06286c2.jpegAwww. The parts no one ever sees
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ac8cdafd3.jpegGotta love the 8.8.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e86c48ad7.jpegNot sure about the ally flywheel. But we will see!
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5b85b1f4d.jpegI think the header is backwards?... or...
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f9fe4ba42.jpegWell. Well.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...588484999.jpegYou my friend are coming out!
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...95eb29dc4.jpegStrong rear end. But we are not messing around people!
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a29e91e6a.jpegFunny part. Most difficult thing was getting the sway bar out. And that was easy!
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b5af6a1e5.jpegOk. Yes.

looking good so far

NanD 02-04-18 02:20 PM

I don't mind swaps as long as it looks/feels good when it's done.

tidbitnippy 03-02-18 09:01 PM

Changed the plan on the fuel pump/system.

Lots of work and a few bumps in the road (and changes).

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8e946a9aa.jpegWhat one?

383 or 427?


tidbitnippy 04-06-18 11:51 PM

They both have their advantages. But we are going NA for now.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9ef1b1ae8.jpeg383 will have to wait for the other RX7. :(

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c8852eea2.jpegHello it’s time to get you prepped. Accessory drives tomorrow. I think I have a oil pump somewhere around here.

Test fit my mock motor in the bay. Wish I could keep it in there. But it’s a bit too much.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...35aa6be7a.jpeg
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a4f765c9c.jpeg

Managed to run some fuel lines. Went stainless. I plan to also redo the stock brake lines but need the correct double flare. Need to order some new dies.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fd2eec04c.jpegYes. Found them
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a29d58b5a.jpegI’m going to be running jiffy-tite quick disconnects on both the fuel filter and engine ends. This way I can make quick services without getting fuel everywhere.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e0634e036.jpegBillet ally or Delrin fuel clamps? I’m digging the delrin. Need to make a few more :(
