I'm pretty sure I got the turbo prepping thing under control now... so we're good...

 

I hace an 89 S5 N/A GTU, I love it but for some reason I dont feel the power it is supose to have. I have a header on it and a cone airfilter. I believe the cat may be cloged and was wondering how I would go about seeing if it actually is. Also what mods could I do, Short from removing the engin, to get me up to something like 180 hp or higher.

 

what the hell is this thread doing here, put it back in my section, THREAD STEALERS!!!!

 

haha

 

My 1983 RX 7 wants to die when I it needs more power/rpms's for uphill roadways. It will usually restart after I use the manual choke. It also tends to buck, jerk, and lose power quickly once it dies and restarts. Any ideas on where to start? I have only had the car for a couple of months. I'm in the process of restoring it. I'm thinking maybe a fuel filter, vaccum, or gas line issue. Thanks for your thoughts.

Anyone out there have a rearview mirror assembly they want to get rid of. I need the mirror/doomlight assembly that mounts to the ceiling. It is for a 1983 RX7.

 

change the fuel filter, that should fix your problem

i do have a mirror assembly. $40.00 shipped

 

Done, done and done.

Glad to be of service

whats up rob, got a couple problems for ya to help me out w/... they all happen the same time after some "spirited" driving or long WOT acceleration

1.after several hard shifts/throttle slams ie. drag racing, my idle went up to about 2000-2200 RPM and stayed there until i physically pushed the throttle cable bracket back, then it idled fine at 900 rpm. when i drove back home (nicely) the idle would be back up to anywhere between 1500-2000 rpm when ever i came to a stop (i really hope i didn't bend the throttle shaft ) im gonna see if it still does it tommorow when i start it cold

2. I also noticed that a little liquid fuel was pooling up inside the barrels, underneath the venturis, along w/ a little fuel in the vent even after driving consevatively for 15 min., which i would expect to of cleared it out

3. lastly, is it to be expected that my exhaust shoots foot long flames for 10-15 seconds a piece whenever I engine brake, for about 5-10 mins after a good beating?. I knew she ran rich, but this is absurd

what do you think the cause for all this is?

fuel pressure is set to 3 psi, pump is a holley RED and the rest of the mods are in my sig

 

I'm trying to rebuild a turbo II that suffered an engine fire. I was woundering if and how hard it would be to remove the emmisions. I live in Idaho where there is no emmision laws, and I read somewhere that you must remove emmisions before installing a NOS system. I figued I should remove it now while I have the motor apart. Any pointers would be much appritiated.

Thanks, Treeman.

 

Robert, When you prep the dellortos and Mikunis for boost, do you use modulator rings?

 

robert i need help in locating some jesus juice for my seven please help!
lol.

 

where do i start

 

nope, what is a modulator ring? ive never heard of those before

 

pm me your address and ill send you some right away!!

 

whats your problem

 

I have been working on fixing 3800 hesistation for a week now . I have an 86 N/A in the last week I have put new stock injectors on it it has a K&N air intake . I have regrounded everything under the hood . I checked my 5th/6th ports checked the two actuators on the lower intake one had a wasps nest on it good thing it was dead clean them up they seemed to work fine . I have the stock pump I havent checked the pressure because I dont have a guage to . the car seems to get fuel just fine . I put spark plug wire seperators on it to prevent arcing . check the plug wires new fuel filter new FPR new TPS . Now I havent check the grounds at the ECU since I havent had time the injectors connections are clean and fit snug . Now I can rev it past 3800 just fine . Its when I am at speed I hit 3800 hold it there then it will come out go up to 4800 or so the go back in and out an in . I did a test to make sure the acutators were working to they work . The rest of the car is pretty much stock . I just wanna know if you guys have any suggestions ? Oh and where does the boost sensor brown and red ground wire ground out at I cant tell since it goes into the tapped up wire harness ?

 

hmmm.... no help from the person i bought the carb from?

 

i have a 93 rx7 i am having problems with it over heating i can drive it some where but if i make a pit stop and shut the car off ..it wont start unless i let it cool down can anyone help me out

 

[nope, what is a modulator ring? ive never heard of those before]

A modulator ring is in effect kind of a "pre-venturi" venturi. I know that makes no sense, but it is a ring that is smaller than the carb opening, mounted where the velocity stacks are originally placed. It causes more of a drop in pressure in the carb throat while . So in effect you are raising the pressure in the floatbowl faster than in the carb throat. It just helps richen the mixture under boost as I understand it, but I wasn't sure if I needed them. I made some, and they work, but my mixture goes super rich in the lower rpms, and it's in the thirteens when I get to about 3500 rpm on up (whenever the main jets kick in)... I think that either I need to throw the modulator rings out, make them bigger so the pressure differential is not so drastic, or go with smaller idle jets and bigger air jets on the idle jets...

what do you think?

 

Went to the ECU regrounded the wires now car runs great

 

hi
ive just bought a 88 s4 rx7 without a hand book and need to know Where the fuse box is
not the engin one but the one for the wipers and so on,
its a british car by the way.

cheers

 

i have a question about my rx7. i have a fc and its a non turbo. i was wondering can i buy a turbo and put it in the car. will it work better or do i need more adjustments?

 

i bought a 1988 RX recently it didnt run when i got it. so far ive got it to start but it idles very rough when i give it gas it revs up for a second then dies then floods out. my dash gauges dont work either do you think it could be my cpu?

 

excellent!!
