Found out a few days ago i need a rebuild
So, I took my rx7 (s4 tii) to neptune speed to have yoshiya retune my pfc for my bigger injectors and to help rewire my fuel pump, and found out that i have a possible blown corner seal! I asked him how much for a rebuild and how long, price was fair but it would take a lot longer than i would want to wait. I have nothing against neptune speed, yoshiya is my main rx7 mechanic and will always go to him for work.
I'm going to have to go with lucky 7 racing for the rebuild though. I think a lot of people go rebuilds from fris here right? I'm going to have it towed there this coming week, tuesday i think. Any suggestions on what to do since i'm getting a rebuild? Is it worth porting, and how much life of the engine does it sacrifice if i do a port. also should i do the throttle body port? Also i want to know different peoples experience with lucky 7 and the work they do and how the rebuild has been holding up for everyone else. |
havent had a ebuild yet from fris, but from what i hear he is a god with rotaries. u are in good hands
|
aww. sucks to hear bro. always positive stuff from Fris and the gang @ lucky 7. they'll do your motor right if you take it to em. :D
|
just look my pics and vids. they are reliable with good prices.
|
I think so too, everyone is endorsing them,so i'm sure they will. It just sucks though cuz all i wanted to do was tune the 1300cc injectors dang it!
|
Dam every one is going to lucky seven. (including me)
Should be able to pick my car up from there soon too. |
Lucky 7 did my rebuild on an 87 N/A with a small street port and its running strong as ever 30,000 miles later with plenty of abuse.
I've had them do countless other work on my cars as well, and have always had top notch work done by them with great customer service. I always feel completely safe leaving my car in their hands, unlike how I feel with a regular mechanic. And in regards to throttle body porting, check out their site for the info on that and decide for yourself. http://www.lucky7racing.net/ |
oh damn sorry to here the news bro,, yea just go to lucky 7
|
Just got it towed to lucky 7 fris said he's going to start on the rebuild tomorrow.
|
finding out you need a rebuild is like finding out your GF just cheated on you.
Lucky7 is where its at! :icon_tup: |
My motor is there as we speak. Dont touch my motor mounts :lol:
|
Lucky 7 ftw..
|

hes a cool guy, even comes to my BBQs and hangs out.. he also rebuilt my motor, and has helped me out countless times.. haha just be thankfull you dont have to build up a fd from scratch, thats a ton of money..hAHAHAHA |
I have a factory brand new (not rebuild) S4 TII engine sealed and in storage for such a future need. Lucky catch a while back. :)
Fris is a good guy, works hard, and excellent business ethics. Feel good about putting your engine needs in his hands. |
Its not just Fris that is awesome at Lucky 7, its the whole crew. I love that shop.
|
go wit fris..get the port work done since the motor will be open already, nothing but good things from lucky7 from what i hear and read on the forum...
|
would a mild port be worth it? and what gain would i see from it
|
also what about the throttle body port.... would that be good too since i'm there?

i read that but they don't say what a mild port would achieve.
|
well on stock port you can achieve about 350-380hp depending on the setup.. a mild port would allow for more airflow faster...
might as well go with a meduim street port, and port the TB |
okay, now next question, i have a pfc, do i have to retune it for a mild street port before i drive it?
|
or do i just have to advance the timing a bit?
