Pretty sure that's not going to work. FD is a high pressure fuel injected system vs the 1st Gens carb setup.

Make that baby into a turbo!! Whats the stock number on his pump?

Hec's 79 gs

Yeap! The FD runs about 40 psi and the FB around 2.5 to 3 psi, he'll need to run about 10- 600cfm holley carbs with that 12a and he'll be allright

Go to the local auto parts and buy a generic 20 dollar fuel pump, it will work

This was on ebay for a 12a.

Hec's 79 gs

It may work but he may need a pressure regulator to go with it.I bought mine from summit it was a Carter with a 0 to 5 psi regulator and it worked like a champ, the old one could not keepup with the car at woot.I offer mine so he could save and get a good set .Weall know howw thristy this beer keg can be

Hey did you get the car working? I wanna take a trip down to the lqk and see maybe they might have a first gen.

Call em up, they most likely will. i got everything "working" just not running. i need a new fuel pump and ill be good to go. and a battery. which i saved up for already.

On another completely different note, i heard that automatic 12A's can handle more compression, being that the rotors and crank shaft are better than standards. when you switch them out you can run more N/A power. just something i heard.

False, they are the same as the 5 Speeds, they just haven't been beat on as hard as the 5 speeds.

Dang looks good. Hows the purple cool or whatever in the rad holding up?.

Haven't flushed the cooling system out yet, to put it in, i might send it over to get flushed at the shop down the street. and throw in 74% coolant, 25% water, 1% that purple ice. And see what happens oh and im on my way to get an E-fan, from the junk yard so ill post some pics when im done.

2-Stroker should my brother buy? Is there a specific one that is best or any will do?

Hec's 79 gs

Any two-cycle rated TC-W3 (usually marine two cycle) should work fine.I buy the CITGO brand at Academy,$7.99 a galon its a very good price.The tech brand from Walmart was $5.99 a galon but went up cose to $10.00

Rx7_Nut13B

You have that backwards, it should be 75% DISTILLED WATER + 24% COOLANT + 1% Purple Ice.

ok now that the car can stay running by itself, ive had some time to replace the trans, diff fluid. and im still afraid to drive it. Because when im in the car while its running i can hear this gridningish swooshing sound. but when i put my foot about down on the clutch it goes away. doesnt matter RPM, warm up, in gear out, whenever the clutch is out its making the sound. now ive already done some research, and ive heard it could be throw out bearing, input shaft bearing, release bearing, pilot bearing, bearing bearing bearing. now im all down for the cause to replace it, but while im there shouldnt i just replace the whole shebang, and clutch? because im not pulling it 20 times when one idea doesnt work.
A: what is the problem,
B: what to do about it.
im at a loss here guys, any input would be appreciated, these cars truley fight you when your trying to help them. lol

TwistedRotors

iTrader: (3)

Lol, now that's the truth if I ever heard it.
As for your problem, yeah, gotta be a bearing, but it's not necessarily the end of the world. How bad is the noise? From your description I think it sounds like the input shaft or throw out bearing. Pilot bearing will only make noise when you push the clutch pedal in. But if you're in there replacing stuff anyway it's a good idea to replace the pilot bearing (and it's seal) as well. I've got the mazda pilot bearing puller, let me know if you need it. :-)

Cant be the throw out bearing, this isnt a FD motor, FB,FC are Push type throw out bearing, so they will only make noise when the clutch is pressed down to disengage the clutch.


Now on a FD it could make noise in or out

Rotor_Venom08

iTrader: (3)

IDK, im just guessing that because that's what to FSM diagnosis it as. When the clutch is depressed the noise goes away. But if in down there might as well do it all. then if that doesnt work then myself. but could i drive it like that? i mean just like around the block and stuff, im not going to be launching it or anything?
