another jspec down...... this is #2 for me. i'm just gonna rebuild this using the other engine i have also and make one good engine! screw used engines!!!!! time for porting. i forsee my TII not running for atleast six months wooohoo. goddamn jspecs :(

wow, that didn't take long, what did you do to it this time?

I HATE JSPECS. never buy one. they are only worth spare parts!!!!! i wish i hadn't bought one.....

oh man this sucks... :(

oh well, at least you got the FD https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

again, what happened?

Used motors are ok...if you know the history. I got Rob x-7 a $200 motor for his spare convertible, and it sounds really good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR

apparently water pump failed and it overheated

Don't blame the motor.

could have been a coolant seal felt like failing too.... the water pump came on the jspec!! damn things are cursed! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

getting one to rebuild is 50/50 LOL

Nah, you're cursed. I bet that if you tried my motor the eccentric shaft would crack, or some weird thing like that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

You'll get the turbo and manifolds, which may make it worth the money if the motor is ok to rebuild.

We can talk about it.

Call me crazy, but my point is if you have the engine out, why not just go thru the thing right then and there and have no surprises later? Is it not worth the rebuild kit if you want to have something reliable, especially if your going to mod it?

I agree entirely. And while you're at it, break out the grinder and port the thing.

my first engine, EVERYTHING BROKE! needed atleast $3000 in parts to rebuild..... instead i got a $600 jspec. jspec #1 got it started smoked profusely so bad you couldn't see my house https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png that had a blown coolant seal, took it out got another one this one looked good, jspec#2 car ran good then drove it 1 mile temp gauge shot to H, overheated, looks like water pump failed or coolant seal gave out. no way to tell unless i tear it down. rebuilding the engine isn't cheap parts are expensive!!! as of right now my options are get a reman, buy 13BAce's engine, or rebuild this one. i would like to buy 13BAce's but i'm still weighing out my options....

I agree entirely. And while you're at it, break out the grinder and port the thing.[/quote]

i know how to tear down. dunno how to rebuild...... yet https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I have not done it yet, but it doesnt seem too difficult. I'll know more after this week https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png just removed the oil pan off my 6 port, waiting for the UPS guy to come with my flywheel stop and engine stand head from mazdatrix. Things look damn good so far.

Damn, dude! You're just not meant to have a running RX-7, are you? My '89 is slow, but at least it runs.



Good luck, man, with both of your rolling paperweights! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

i had a 89 GTU that ran fine... never should have sold it.....

You're right! In fact, just to be nice to you, I'll gladly trade my '89 for both of your cars. Those things are really just too much stress on you.

You drive a hard bargain, but how about my car + whatever I have in my wallet RIGHT NOW! You never know, I could have 100 large floating around in there. BLING BLING!!!#%!

how long did this one last?

umm two weeks ?

If I had $33.5K to spend on a car, it probably wouldn't be an RX-7....
