everythings back together still having issues with keeping a idel and after a few idels's it floods with gas. so i suspect i still have vaccum leak and maybe my timings off plus the afm might need to be more level and braced up so it dosnt vibrate.

i reset the timing but i think it was correct the first time. before i do anything else i need a new fmoc hence oil was pissing out every where from, the bungs and i had already had them welded
.also put an electric fan on . i have the repu temp gauge hooked up but it was reading 3/4 hot maybe ill have to swap the temp sender on the engine for the repu one. just lots of small things to do i have to go through the repu engine bay harness and eliminate old wires that ran the trailing box,coils,zero start etc i hate wire diagrams the hours just flyby.
cheers

wicked!
Wiring is really satisfying to do neatly though. I like getting rid of all the extra crap. Rx3's (well mine) have extra wiring installed in engine bay and just use whatever depending on market- lots to remove!

So, the welds on yours didn't fix it? Did you end up getting a new one? Oh, and did you get your clutch hydraulics hard line sorted?

when fixing hairline cracks there supposed to grove the crack and i dint think he did.
i just got a fmoc off a 79 rx7 today only 20 bucks had to have a couple wars with large wasp nests but i was determined since it was in perfect shape.
i am going to copy you with the hydraulics i got a 85 rx7 hard line and ill get a s4t2 master when i have some extra bucks.because i think the later master has a bigger bore. not 100% sure yet.
also i got a electric fan off a Plymouth acclaim or something lol it suited my dimensions so it should do and should be powerfull since the engine was a v6. once this is done ill start trying to sort the motor out more.
cheers

finally found some wire diagrams for my repu the 1st one i got is the 74s but it had no chart of all the plugs.then i came across a 75 diagram that had a chart after a very hours matching plugs to the chart everything was the same except the 75 had a couple more plugs i think pm me if any one wants the diagrams
heres a pic after 4hours of wire sorting lol..

lots of crap to remove
here are the pictures i promised.this is a friends truck that im working on right now.had a custom manifold for the turbo done and running one fuel pump to feed the surge tank and another tfuel pump to feed the motor.all the wiring to power up the stock TURBO II ecu is mostly done,well atleast the coils and main relay almost done with the engine harness here are the pics.
this fuel pump feeds the surge tank,wont be visible after i put the cover back on.

here is the surge tank

trying to finish the rest of the fuel feed line.

here is where i mounted the coils and main relay.



custom manifold



there is still alot i got to do so i can finish the truck,hopefully it willbe running by sevenstock so we can drive it there.tell me what you think blwfly
