El Paso Area
Nice engine Rotorican. Any chance it will be on the road soon? We have a few rotaries from Holloman AFB and Alamogordo NM that are closer to El Paso than Albuquerque looking for some spirited driving. You guys have any fun roads out there or mostly strait highways?

Fun roads, not really. I took a trip up to Cruces, over to White Sands/Alamogordo, and back down to el paso Monday and that was about the best cruising i've done out here. Although if you google map Cloudcroft and look at Sacramento Canyon Rd./Sunspot Hwy between Cloudcroft and Timberon, it looks like a nice curvy rd that i want to take a trip to see before i leave out of here. I'm always down for a cruise though.
i thought you blew a water seal dude. but nice pics either way. im probally gonna start this single turbo swap next week.
Anybody got some resistors, pigtails for RC injectors, hookup on AN fittings/hoses, and gaskets for a t3/t4 mani?

I just got my car running right this weekend, been working on the tune for about a week so i drove it to break in the motor so yeah my water seals were blown which is why the car wasnt drove for over a month while it was being rebuilt. Resistors go to Radioshack its where i got mine, pigtails no idea, AN fittings go to yearwood, and check summit or jegs for the t3/t4 gaskets.
how many resistors you need? you got a gt35 with a T3 flange? why? for any of those turbo stuff go to petimore diesel on rojas. they got all that ****. im just baffled why you went with a t3.......
there's more than 9 fds in el paso bud. there's tommy has 2 red ones, a black one driven by an older guy. white with LS, i remember seeing pics of a pink and blue one in the lower valley.
Rican, its a T4 flange. i dont know why i put T3. its been a long ******* week.
And i got the hook up from EPT motorsports for the single turbo setup. They seem to be absorbing a lot of unfinished work from a frequesnted and revered RX7 shop in El Paso....

The intercooler isnt that bad. I did mine around February or January ish. Front mount or what? I'm always down for a cruise. I'm out at the range right now, but ill be back later today. If you guys wanna head up to White Sands or Cloudcroft tomorrow i'm down.

Ah ok. I like my twins but i understand. The front mount helps drop IATs quite a bit though. All i've gotta do now is work out this damn tune. But it is indeed faster than my old blue one. Found that out earlier, 3/4 throttle with a 7200 rpm rev limit to keep from blowing it and still pulled him.
So i just replaced my reservoir/overflow tank and i still have a leak. And its xcoming from the brand new reservoir tank. The rubber seal that has the nipple for the hose that leads to the AST is not sealing properly. The car runs fine until i drive in any road with a slight incline or if i park it at an incline the coolant leaks through the rubber seal. im just wondering if i should get a new part from mazda since the part is under warranty or should i get a custom reservoir made? Any suggestions or possible repair options? Any of yall dealt with this **** it? pisses me off man just wanna be able to drive my fd for extended periods of time without having to worry bout coolant leaks.
