nw off of 249 and beltway 8. any help is appreciated right now but after the insurance company takes a look at it ill see if they are willing to pay for mechanical work. if not then i'm on my own

 

hey dont worry, ur ok regardless, bc RX7 nut knows his ****....you should check out the video of his 550hp rx7, well the start up....

 

Sounds like it is firing on only one rotor or only on the trailing plugs.

If you had a PFC ecu, it would be easy to verify.

If running only on trailing plugs and you advance the IGT, the engine would smooth out. That would mean your leading coil was bad (that is if the plugs and cables are good).

Then you can play with the leading injector lag times to lean or richen the #1 or #2 rotors to see if it is only running on one rotor or that rotor has an injector leak.

 

hm.. im not sure what the IGT is, this car is completely stock with no modifications. i'm gonna have to read more into this

 

well the car was sent to a shop for a estimate on body damages and later mechanical damages if any.

 

The new shop manager down at Lonestar Motorsport, the shop at MSR Houston was the rotary guy up in Colorado for a long time. he has experience in building racing motors, and has gotten a lot more power out of my GSL-SE. Look him up at www.mrshouston.com his name is Louis Rivera.

Tell him Scott sent you.

I am not sure if there is or not but you might check out houseperformancedriving.com and ask on there. I am a member there but alot of guys there know the guys to go to or not for your cars.

There aren't any RX7 performance shops in Houston.
MazMax is an independant RX7 shop that repairs but does not mod rotorys.

A few of us mod cars and engines. Kyle and I work on FDs but not earlier 7s except engine rebuilds.

 

Thank you i will look there

 

Ok i will look them up thank you
how about Austin

 

Look up Lucas Automotive and Restoration for basic stuff, Engine Logics does some neat work. You need to not be an overly sensitive human at either shop! You might see if Tony Rivera is doing side work, I think he is still doing engine work.
Good Luck,
Dave

 

ok thanks i will look in to that

 

The guy down a Rotary Performance Plus I heard was good. His name is Gabriel. Be sure to bring one of these though!


Seriously, don't go to him.

 

just need some pointers as in where to go to get my 7 tuned ..im kinda hopeing theres a place i can go here in houston
It's a 86 base
s5 TII swap
TII tranny, mazdatrix driveshaft
megasquirt standalone, new wiring harness
tech edge wideband
profec B boost controller, not hooked up
trust exhaust
intake
fd fuel pump
FD alternator

i need to get it tuned so i can get to driving the car..so any help i would be very thankfull for

 

Gotham racing
BDC

are both great places

 

Manuel,

I converted over a couple of my timing sets from my Haltech stuff into use for the Megasquirt. They're in the form of 12x12 tables that you guys use. They're posted up on the Megasquirt section of this forum but you can also access them from here:

That ought to help with how the car runs. For the time being, you can mess with fuel tuning stuff but be careful with it especially if you aren't very familiar with the software and the ECU. Don't load the car out and run a bunch of boost until it's tuned.

alrighty thanks for that i guess i need just get my lazy butt out of the house to go buy a laptop so i can get this done...
i havent been driving the car cuz i didnt want to mess it up due to it not runing right

 

Well i am not the best at the MS but i am local and know everything with rotaries.

 

Must be nice to know everything with rotaries.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can someone please PM me the names of some reputable rx7 shops in houston, tx?

Thanks!
Jake

 

There really aren't any "reputable" shops in Houston (for rotaries).

You might consider coming out to a meeting and getting to know some of our local experts.

I merged your post in with a thread about the topic.

 

Well i guess I will refresh my info on this thread..
