Thanks Rob Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:27:18 +0000 http://www.nopistons.com/forums/topic/76905-long-crank/ http://www.nopistons.com/forums/topic/76903-apex-seal-length/ Who is right?

The triangle piece is super glued to the upper piece. Should I super glue the lower piece to the rest of the apex seal, to make it all into a one piece? So I can sand it all as one piece and get a uniform cut on the apex seal? How thick is the super glue between the top piece and the triangle piece, should I subtract that out when computing the length?

Also, I assume I don't sand the triangle piece. Just sand the other end(s).

I measured two new 3-piece apex seals and they were 80.10mm long. My rotor housings narrowest points are 80.0020mm and 80.0049mm. The How to Modify your RX7 book says to sand the apex seals down to 79.90mm length for street use. Some people don't clearance the length of new Mazda seals and say they're fine as new. Other people say to clearance it 0.0015" narrower than rotor housing width. And others still say clearance it 0.004" to 0.0045" narrower than rotor housing width. Who is right?

I have sort of a backwards request from you all. I have a 1987 Turbo II that has been off the road as I restore it to operating condition. HOWEVER!! I am missing the bracket for the smog pump! I absolutely need this part, as I am in an emissions-required area, and without that bracket I cannot mount the smog pump!

Therefore, my request to you is this: If there is anyone on this forum, or if you know anyone, that is performing an emissions component removal, then please please PLEASE contact me!! I am more than willing to buy this part from anyone that is willing to sell it. I'll pay shipping as well.

It may sound like a desperate and silly plea to some of you, and I'm certain that I'll get the standard "Well, why don't you just remove all the emissions parts?" Ad the answer is because emissions testig is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY in my area, ad without this part, the car may stay off the roads for another year cooped up in a garage. I don't want to see that happen, so please contact me if you have any ideas at all.

Attached is a picture of the part that I need out of the Factory Service Manual. It's the part labelled 13-920 in a box in the diagram. The goofy arm there.

Again, PLEASE let me know if you have any ideas or places that I may be able to find this part!!

I recommended to my friend to use a haltech e6x since I've been using an e6k for the past 10 years with no reliability issues.

I've noticed that Haltech came out with the P1000 and they are about the same price.

Can anyone tell me how good these ECUs are compared to the e6k and x in reliability and ruggedness? I remember the time the E11 came out and it was a disaster.
