I'm adding a second high-performance Nip-Denso fuel pump in the tank. Fabricated #6 hard aluminum fuel lines (feed & return). They are mounted directly under the OEM hardlines (over-under design). I fabricated some .125 aluminum hangers similar to the OEM ones utilizing rubber clamps, spacers, and misc. fasteners. This is turning out to be quite a little project....

why -6an lines? why not do -8an since the stock ones are just about -6an. I would make sure you have a nice system where if one pump goes out the whole system shuts down. Otherwise you risk going lean. You can say you have an AF and fuel pressure reg but by the time you see it, it is already too late

would have gone with the new CJ setup IMO. allows for 4 injectors on the secondary and also has room for the GZ LIM. who did the rebuild? Also all those Vacuum nips you have the LIM, are not needed. they go straight through. You can pull them out with pliers. They were there to make it easier to get to the Rats nest.

Was thinking about removing the vacum nips, just never have. Would look even cleaner though I agree.

 

I did the rebuild including the porting. Zavier from the RX7 Store does my tuning on Brians dyno (DynoTuneMotorsports).

 

I really aint into 4 injectors on the secondary rail right now, but that sounds pretty sweet. When I do change that I'm gonna get the LIM from Pineapple Racing that is made w/4 injector bungs in it, one for each port.

 

Dont think I've seen your ride unless I've seen it at the RX7 Store.

I wasnt thinkin about the fuel rail needing 4 bungs, dah...

 

I'm makin up some #6 braided hoses now, they are a pain in the ass.

 

Was gonna post more pics of my project but I guess I should only make one post per project.

 

I like the yellow. My buddy Paul, whos FD just got a port/rebuild by me loves the yellow.

not sure on the events for the year. i don't have a car that i want to bring out yet so i don't pay attention to whats going on.

 

aj needs a job, only thing i know he needs help with at the moment lol.

 

i spied a tow hook in one of the pictures, are you going to take the to road track days or is it a rice accessory?

 

is this a whole car build or just the engine? i'll change the tread title to your rx7 build if its the whole car.

Torque can come from all sorts of ways. Some comes easier (and cheaper) than others. With a rotary, I believe the secret is how its built/ported etc..

I think my car has plenty of torque as do the few who have rode in it, but opinions vary. In fact my car delivers more torque to the rear wheels than horsepower until around 5200rpm. I built mine to run how I wanted it to for how I drive it, not for dyno contests or torque comparisons.

 

I like the feedback though.

small education note... all dyno graphs cross there, you didn't do/build it any way special.

 

take note,
