THERE.
Back on track, thnaks oinesra

 

and back off track lol. hey kt text me later today

 

I,ve been reading alot on how to mod the stock turbos to prevent boost creep.

This one of the methods i read here on the forum. Basically. The back plate of the turbo doesnt let the internal wastegate flapper open all the way.
It actually hits the back plate.

SO the easy mod is to grind away at the back plate where the flapper makes contact.

This is my first try. SHould be testing it soon.

PS. currently my psi is 7 and creeps to 9 psi in thrid. But on cold nights i have seen 11psi in 4th gear.

 

S4 or S5?
If S4, then you should grind out the WG hole and weld on a bigger flapper disc while your at it.

Also spotted white Vert with lip kit or body kit on Shindler Ave going towards Argyle. Was Going opposite way towards 103rd.

 

lol Thanks everyone! Yeah I guess this thread has become a sort of local help forum too which is cool with me since it'll keep us close together and informed on what's going on. Besides I've received some help here so I'm definitely not complaining

 

i have a s5 turbo. But mod would also work on s4's

 

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone had a spare s4 rim that they wouldnt mind selling mine got bent due to a pot hole.

 

I have a full set of the 5 star ones. The ones that are 15's and fit the 4 Pot brakes.

50$ for all 4. ILl get a picture up if you want.

 

You need any parts? Want to trade for the wheels?

 

BRIAN! Did you ever do your exhaust? I want that mustang/y-pipe that JT made you.

 

No i havent did it yet. the y pipe is still on my car i need the pipe bent i need another baloni cutter rim so i can drive my seven again.

 

NOpe dont need any parts at the moment. Saving up for EMS.

 

Well, It didnt really work. Maybe fixed 1 psi of creep at the most. Im taking it back off. Getting a caliper and im gonna remove as much material as possible. Im trying this out on a my stock s5 turbo. Not my BNR.

 

You still get boost creep even on the BNR? I thought they ported even the S5 WGs? That kinda sucks if you are getting boost creep even on the upgraded porting on the BNR..

 

IM testing this ont he stocker Not the BNR.

Ive had the BNR out of the car for about 3 months now.

BUt yes even a BNR will boost creep. Here read this thread.

Hey guys greeting from Souda Bay, Crete, Greece. I have to say it is great getting off the damn boat although there were a couple really cool events that you can only experience on a sub. Hope you guys are having fun and I'll post at our next port. By the way Greece is beatiful and oh yeah "I'M ON A BOAT BITCH!"

 

^ Epic lol. Glad to hear you're having a good time. Stay safe and feel free to fill us in on any hilarious events that take place

 

^^ ever fix that overheating issue? Find the leak?

 

Yeah I just forgot to post it on here. The car hasn't overheated since that night I added half a gallon of coolant and water so maybe it just needed to be refilled (had a faulty coolant sensor so I just took it off completely). As for the leak it may have been from a tiny *** leak that I can't find anywhere that is dripping onto the frame and just collected a **** load of oil on it's way down. I haven't been dripping any oil except for a tiny amount (a drop or two) near the oil pan but I think that's normal.

My main issue now is getting my car to idle right since I had someone help me delete the emissions but didn't finish the job. I also need to get my flywheel resurfaced and maybe bearings? Last but not least I also have an exhaust leak coming near the manifold because one of the bolts fell out and I think it needs a gasket. But I need help for all of these things so I'm going to visit Norm tomorrow and hopefully Josh can lend me a hand on the weekends too.

More fun for my broke *** I might just sell the damn thing as is. I already have pics but really want to sell it for more than what most people are asking because of all the replacing and care I put into this car. The engine is pretty much rebuilt new so I don't want to be lowballed and I'm still searching for a new ride.

 

imo the best thing you can do with an rx7 is learn as much as you can about the car and learn how to work on it yourself it saves time and money and hastle.

 

I only like driving the car. I hate working on cars. But rx7s force you to learn because everyone else is clueless.

 

Hey what's up guys I'm going to check out a Local rx7 it's a gxl swapped tii tommorrow I can't wait. Hopefully everything looks good with it and I'll be back in an rx7

 

oh yeah what color? just asking because the guy i traded mine to was looking to trade or sell it because he has another that's in allot better shape he's in middleburg.

 

It's blueish from what I can see in the pictures. If you're the original owner I had talked to you when it was for sale a few months ago. I just didn't have the funds ready yet. I emailed the guy selling it and he told me he had traded another car for it. Is it in pretty good shape does it run good? That's my main concern is how it runs..... I'm going to check it out tonight.

just checked my pm's and I had pm'd you about it a few weeks ago when I first saw it listed. It's the same car.

 

it ran good when i traded it but he has also done a fews things to it since for the better, if it still needs a d/s window switch lmk, i was at least the 4th owner that i know of & i traded it for a rx7 w/v8 swap.
