He moved back to Korea( I can get ahold of him) and I ended up buying his t2. He was in the middle turbo/FMIC upgrade and now I want to get it back together and on the road. If you can help with any info on the car let me know. The FMIC is 90% done and he has everything but a turbo from what I can see. I am a T2 noob so any help would be great. I bought the car sight unseen and need it running ASAP. If you want to take a look or help me out the car is in garden grove.

 

yes

 

that car was built buy RRR thats all i can really tell you...and i know it needed something at the time it was leaving the shop.

 

yo steve holla at cha boy!!!! What u need homie ??

 

omg...built at RRR....

you just bought a POS. im sure they had kevin do the rebuild and they just put in new apex seals and called it a day.

 

ouch! (T.T) that'll leave a mark!

 

WTF?! they wouldent let kevin touch a motor with a 10foot pole..let alone rebuild one. lol..POS. how do you know that?

:AA:

 

Hum WTF....Did you do any work on it charlie? The paper work I found states carbon apex seals. Some how I doubt that. It looks like it was set up for either a gt35r or a BNR stage 3 turbo with a FMIC.

 

carbon apex seals + boost = kaboom

 

hey red, when is the next Lucky7 bbq?

 

so would you say a BNR stage 3 = blown up motor?!

 

From what I hear of carbon seals, they are strictly used for N/a, they can't handle any boost. They are gentle so they don't scar any surfaces on the way out.

 

Carbon apex seals aren't meant for boosted applications, they're generally for NA race motors.

So yes, kaboom.

 

I guess if it doesn't have a turbo on, you can try to peak in the rotor housing and try to get a peak at the apex seals with a mirror.

 

no i dont think i worked on it..must have been louie. and yeah carbon seals and boost dont mix. take all that stuff off and throw a stock turbo on it for now unless you have all the stuff to make it happen then do that..man if they did use carbon seals, then your screwed. try to find out if they did or not. you dont want a popped motor. its prolly set up for the 35r since thats the most popular way to go, thats my guess.

:AA:

 

So I talked to sisco, and he told me Louie built the motor and took his time, mazda apex seals, and a large street port. Time for a gt35r!!!!!!

 

you mean poncho? tell that homo i want his duel alt. pully..i wanted to buy it off him cause it was at the shop doing nothing.

:AA:

 

I will tell poncho. You want to come down and check out the t2 over the weekend?

 

yeah, give me a call.

:AA:

 

I got other issues now with my other car.......https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/searched-flywheel-nut-eshaft-damaged-thanks-mazdatrix-707183/

I think I am screwed........

 

untill you fix it, right?

:AA:

 

well i would hope louie didnt do the build.......i would feel "ok" if kevin really did it. just cus i would knnow kevin is supossed to make mistakes. but louie shouldnt....

 

well, louie built kevin's motor so what does that tell you?

:AA:

 

All I know is since acidangel is involved I can say is there is prolly a gay love triangle involved.........

 

why do i even bother.
