Green Bastard Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 so i traded the car i had for this, its a 90 rx7 turbo II. it needs a little work (and if there is anyone around who is familiar with the turbo II's i would greatly appreciate any help to get this running) but it should be fun. long term goals are to get a small block chevy built (looking to build a 383 shooting for around 350-400 fwhp). anyhow, this is the only pic i have right now, but i can take more if anyone has any requests to see anything. and i apologize if the quality isnt the greatest, its a cell phone camera. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w392/uummm1/rx7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 depending on what it needs i can fix it. Sounds like the rwd is broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 That would be a major project converting a RWD into a WWD; or were you talking Four Wheel HP ? Twin engine ? I want to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 flywheel horsepower is what i was referring to. and i need to do a compression test, but i believe my apex seals are either stuck or broke, but i dont know how to check it with the motor together.

Green Bastard Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Piston powered RX7s are gay. meh, i wanna see what the turbo motor in it can be about, but i still believe that i could prolly make more torque with a piston motor (based upon only having driven an s4 na before). however if i decide i like the rotary, maybe ill go get another car worthy of the small block.

Yasser-Hanbali Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 to check compression on the motor get a compression tester pull the top spark plugs remove the large yellow relay which controls your fuel and crank the motor over you want over 80 psi on all faces. if its low buy some marvels mystery oil remove spark plugs squirt oil into the housings while having someone turn the motor by hand using a 19mm socket on the bolt in the main pully let sit overnight then see if it starts.

Doc1647545523 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've always liked those, Ryan. I suspect that accomplishing your goals with the car is going to end up being more like a part-time job than a hobby, but more power to you, friend. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 if you are going to put a V8 in it swap in a LSX hell you can pick up a 5.3 with harness and ECU for around $700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 ya, i thought about going lsx, but i just dont have the money to do it how i would want it. plus i already have a bunch of stuff already for the 350 i have (ive had it a lil while, i originally got it for the camaro, but my plans changed). im not lookin for a 7 second car or anything, just something fun to drive more or less.
