SCRX7Club November meet
 

Charleston. Nov 4th. 4 PM. Rivers Ave Kmart. Be there or be square

Finally, I thought no one would make a thread. Strait to the point too, I like it.

Ive got to work that sat from 8-3pm. We will see if the vert is done by then or not.

So what's on the Itinerary? Driving, spirited driving, more driving? :)

im down. hopefully the Tii will then be tuned for 10 psi!!

sweet! I have the piping problems on my TII all fixed, we can find out whose is faster :) yours will kick mine's as though, im still running only 8 psi and thats on the stock turbo too :(

it all depends on if I have to work right now it looks like more tahn likelly I will but If I dont have to then maybe most likelly I will be driving the Mazda 6 that I just bought for my wife becouse the FD turbos are preaty much gone and I dont trust my SA to make the trip plus it needs a lot of work before I will be able to drive it for 300 miles in one day like the sunroof seal put in becouse the one that is there is done for and it leaks water like crazy.

Masin has such a big street port that it sounds like a bp.

Man that sucks, you have how many RX7s and all of them are down for repairs.

yep and thats not counting the 78 that adam has not finished yet. The SA runs but I just know if I brake down around the house it will be a lot easer to get it back other than being 200 miles away.

thats normal, its odd when they all run

i still have stock turbo right now because i have not gotten together enogh money to finish my fuel system. hopefully in the next month or two we will have the TO4S on there. as minda said above this thing has a huge streetport. Brap Brap Brap!!! then i have to find someone that tunes megasquirt. any of you guys know someone? and i mean can really tune it for power. i already have someone that can tune it so it wont blow up and i can drive it.

$3500 takes mine... YAY! haha

why are you selling already?? it only just started to be your money pit

allen WTF? you better not sell it!! also just a heads up, if you are gonna sell it, you aint gonna get $3500.

"If" I sold mine, I could try for that much, after i get my clutch fixed.

Hmmm, hopefully ill be able to make it, if i have my car by then, iam down like donkey kong!!!!!

I anxiously anticipate having my car back by then, thanks to Chris (speedracer2235). I'll be sure to be there. Anyone seen Landon Papay lately?

Z Naert

If anyone knows a Haltech guy I can show and actually drive without going through 3 sets of plugs and 3 foot flames. Got a ticket in Texas because of them.

Reese (20B10AE) is the haltech expert in SC, he lives up in Columbia

edit: and sweet TII you got there!

damn tht sucks that you got a ticket. i have only ever had one cop see me shoot flames and rolled his window down and gave me thumbs up.

LMAO 2SLO. Ask a few people about the time I got a ticket for "Acquiesence to racing..." I had a full 15 second burn from the exhaust just before getting pulled over! :D

As far as your Haltech, give me a shout. Do you have a particular dyno facility you'd like to use? Most have the ability to let you run a wideband if you don't have one. BTW, which Haltech are you using?

Reese

Do not know of any dynos in the area and I have an E6X closed loop so no O2. I can get one though. How much time do you need and I also need to pick up a different boost controller since the Haltech's solenoid turns out to be garbage and right now I am runnin off the WG spring which has me spiking to 5#. Car still moves though... I want 15# I'm greedy like that I guess. If you have any recommend ations for a shop I'm open. I have put 4,500 miles on this car in 5 years including San Diego to S. Florida to SC.

"money pit"... i havent really done anything to it. i cant even get the cash to do a 5spd swap right now. im just working part time b/c of school and it sucks b/c every other paycheck is my insurance payment. which just went up b/c my first speeding ticket was 40mph over the posted 45mph speed limit. haha my fault but hey. i love my car but i just want something already a 5spd. im deciding really hard on some pending trades right now. but well see. later guys.
-allen

2slo, shoot me a PM if you would. You say you're spiking up to a total of 5#? What's your setup? What # spring in the wastegate? Stuff like that. If you're only getting 5#, something is wrong. If you're going 5# over, something is still wrong. LOL.

Like I said, drop me a line so we can take it off the boards.

Reese

TADAAA!! We're BAAACCK!

Wtf??^^

The 10AE is back? o rly

Any of you going to N. Chas meet this Saturday?

i wont, ill be in cola

Well as much as I'm wanting to make this, it's not looking good - I still have boosting problems (over boosting) and I don't know if the mods that I'm haivng put on this this coming weekend will fix the issue.
Not to mention now I have to look at this knocking problem... Hey Minda, how's your PFC skillz? :P

is it knoking or is it like a pingign sound very distinctive becouse if that is so than oyu are detonating witch is a very bad thing. as for the PFC if you can get a cable for it and the software I would let you have my map witch is for a similar setup as your and as for now quit driving it before you blow your motor.

ive heard pinging before, right after i bought my TII. prev owner had it set up for 14psi with only a safc for fuel control. I had it at about 12 psi around 5krpm, sounded like a little hammer tinging away on my turbo. but i havent heard it since, and its still runs fine today. three cheers for RA seals :)

No, it's not an audible knocking, it's just showing up on the PFC.

Anyone in the area happen to have said software and cable?

Prob the fellas at Showzone. Sorry not tryin to plug, just to help.

NOXUPLUS give a little more info on your boost issue Or im me. Also what is your set up?

My current setup consists of all stock with the exception of DP, MP, with stock muffler. I also have a PowerFC installed. On Monday, I had a compression test done on the car, as well as the boost. This was done with the stock ECU. Resulting with a boost of 13.5 PSI and compression of:

9.2 8.7
9.0 8.5
9.0 8.3

It's been suggested that I have a boost creep, and that I should put a high flow cat.

Next weekend, i'm scheduled to have a Custom intake, J-Spec Y Pipes installed as well as (if they get here in time) Greddy's Titanium Exhaust.

The Greddy's cat back would open up the exhaust even more I'm sure. But that's where I am.

In addition, the Power FC is showing a knocking level of (peek) 27. That’s my other problem (I think). Currently the PFC is running base map, I haven't tweaked it in anyway since I have no idea what I'm doing yet.

Thanks!

Edit: Original thread detailing this can be found HERE.

2Slow2Go, who's showzone?

alright so the Tii has been retuned to 9PSI and my stock injectors are at 82% duty cycle. SWEET!! then hopefully at the next upstate meet (dec) ill have the big turbo on there!

also adam(skylance) has some news, but ill let him tell.

you guys do anything cool this weekend?

masin,
i got your message but was like in a coma when i heard it. i was sleeping before i had to go into work. yesterday was crazy. i ran in the mountains all day. i drove soo many new roads in the FC. it was handling great and running perfect. well on my way home i decided to run hwy 178. i just happened to look down to look at the guages and that split second i heard a pop. coolant blew all over the windshield and steam and smoke was going everywhere. i slammed on the brakes and pulled off the road onto someones gravel driveway... i destroyed their driveway. haha. but anywho, the car was overheating when i cut it off. i popped the hood and released all the pressure from the radiator before anything else happened. i looked under the car and in the engine bay. it blew the heater hose to fuck. so i let it cool for about an hour cleaning coolant off of my windsheild, roof, etc. and poked around. the car turns over b/c i pulled it onto the flatbed. i didnt keep it on long just enough to pull it on the truck. its at the shop now and i went and looked at it today. they ordered the new parts for it and they will be there in the morning at 9am. itll be fixed by lunchtime with the parts and a coolant flush and refilled fluids. i have had a pretty crazy weekend. i lost my video ipod as well. i think ill just stay inside from now on. haha. later man.
-allen

man that sucks, thats one hell of a heater hose break. glad your ok and not burned or anything

thats awseome man, that engine must really move some air, to be almost maxing out at 9psi! at 9psi my d/c is about 37% but htat is with 720 secondaries and stock ports. at least that is what the rtek says, maybe im supposed to multiply htat by 2 or something..

it should give you D/C for primaries and secondaries separetly. My car has a very aggressive port, and is running decently rich.

Alan,
be careful with that car man, when you overheat it like that they will usually still start when cold if the housings are warped. make sure its not devouring coolant. even if they replace the hose(s) that blew your coolant seals may very well be fried. it doesnt sound like it got hot enough to warp the housings (that takes alot of overheating (i know from experiance!!)) but you coolant seals might be completely gone. just be careful and im glad ur ok.

it only spiked out once. i was scared shitless. i only started it to pull it onto the flatbed. then i shut it off. i went to look at it today. they are finished with it and it starts and runs fine. it doesnt overheat sitting while idleing for 15 minutes. i will take it easy from now on. and i will keep a real good eye on the level of coolant every other day. but i love the car and hated that happened. hopefully everything'll be alright. thanks guys. later.

That same heater line has bit me before also. It's also never in stock at the dealer. Good luck hope the car is OK

Showzone is off of Ladson Rd in the Ladson / Summerville area. They have been there for a while that's about all I know about them. They should have the cable you need though.

BTW Do you guys on this thread only meet up once a month at these meets? The Saturday thing was FULL of ricers so I just drove by. I'm not a fan of Honda

officially once a month, but everyone has there own little side meets throughout the month.

thats why they call it teh ricer meet, you go to make fun of the ricers :)

about showzone, they blew up a few engines trying to tune them a while back, so they have a bad reputation around here. but i guess they cant do too much damage if you just need a cable from them

hey guys,
i went and picked up the FC tonight after work. when i started it had trouble and i noticed the cold start didnt kick in. i reved it up a lil to help out. it idled good and got up to temp. i let it sit there running for about 10 minutes before i left. i drove it and it was running like shit. lol. i guess b/c of the cold weather. after it got warmed up it started running like itself again. i noticed its running a little under halfway. i pulled over and let it idle some more. it didnt overheat. i was happy to have the car back. the check engine light is always on and wont go off while im driving. im going to go up to the dealership tomorrow and see if they can pull what its saying if anything or just reset it from the work they did. i have no idea but yeah. i noticed three drips from the area they worked on. im going to have them look at the work the mechanic did and give it a once over. im babying the car right now but im happy to have it back. yay! lol.
-allen

I'm not telling! You'll just have to come to the meet to find out! :D :naughty: :D

lol, NO, the SA isn't done yet . . . I WISH! (and so do my roomies probably) lol. I am still on a never-ending wait for my new msd box to come in (cuz the old one blew up) so i can finish tuning it. Then it will be off to paint and body! yay!

Man, dunno if i can make it. had 2 bolts in my steering linkage shear off and lost control of the steering. was going about 25-30 in a neighborhood and ran into a brick wall sign! was just lucky that shit didnt happen on the interstate! so, im scared to death to drive it right now until i can pull the rest of the bolts and inspect.
i encourage all 1st gen owners to do the same, was a "help me Tom Cruise!" moment.
so, pulled the fender off and banged it out, you can tell i hit something but it looks better than it did.

as long as ur ok^^ then worry about the car.

dude allen, stop taking ur car to the dealership, they are a rip and usually dont fix it(the dripping) what all was replaced and how much did they charge? you might want to do a compression test.
