This may be a waste of time but I'm gonna see what I can save from this poor motor...



Well turns out neither rotor is any good. The rear rotor was a solid block of rust but even the front rotor is pitted. I got all the seals and springs out except for one apex seal. The side-seals are impossible though. I doubt I'll use any of these seals either, but it was good practice.

Next up, Rotor Housings!

 

okay so i took my car over the rick's got the crappy idle fixed and found a whole bunch of worn bushings and a bad clutch switch. He also said my turbos were boosting too slow that I'm suppose to be at full boost by 2500rpm??? is this true?

 

FDs turbos seem to always wear out fast. Good time to upgrade to 99 specs

 

^ You know for the money you can do better. But I guess they are a good stock alternative.

 

it wasn't that expensive...only cost me $65+plus a $250 bonez hf cat, i'm okay with the boost though, I rather it doesn't come on at 2500rpm

 

Yeah, BNR Stage 3s are $400-$500 less than new 99s, or they could just get stock remans from BNR for $1K w/core

 

Wait what??? How much do 99 specs cost? BNR stage 3's are $2100 with core...dude if 99 specs cost that much STAGE 3 DO IT NOA!! It'll look kinda stock but you can squeeze over 400 rwhp out of them

 

That was from BNRs website, might be able to find 99s cheaper somewhere else.

 

At the Sevenstock caravan I talked to a dude who just put on 99s... He is on here just can't remember his name... anyways he paid like $2500 for them.

 

yeah they're about 2500 on rx7.com and that's the only source I know, but I honestly haven't looked much.

 

F that...BNR STAGE 3 NAO NAO NAO~!!!

 

2k is when the first spools up to 10psi. At 2500 your second kicks in and both should be running at 8psi. And by 4k they both should be running at 10psi.

 

no single single single!

 

okay, thanks...well I haven't really WOT the car from 1st gear yet only in 3rd and it full boost at 3500rpm, I'm gonna do a boost leak test and test my check valves...

 

Single??? We live in CALI boii. Cops be jockin our ****! Gotta look stock for the man!

 

^ Absolutely agree... too bad you don't practice what you preach Nick!

 

I wish I did But FC don't really have much of a "upgrade" that looks stock. The FC bnr's fail. My stage 3 was laggy, didn't spool very fast and just didn't have the kick I was looking for. My Holset is a kick in the pants

 

That is true. I think the only thing I am gonna try and get away with is putting the NA-exhaust manifold heat-shield over my headers lol. Anyone do that? I just had that idea... *pats myself on the back*
