wellllll after 4 months off the road, 4 holidays, and the changing of a new year (sept 20th - january 4th) my rx7 is back up and running





its been strenuous, costly, and ******* annoying at times



but it was totally worth it....its running perfectly .... only thing left is to get about 700 more miles on her to break in...then get it tuned



NJ people : who tunes haltechs?....i was thinking ito right?





anyways....woo...im sooo happy .. ill have pics / video soon

Congratulations!!! It is a great feeling when hard work pays off. Have fun.

Now clean up all that half assed ghetto rigged **** you got going on in there. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I am trying to get 900 miles more on mine. You will probably win on the break in. I dont drive far for anything. I am going to do a road trip in the next day or 2 all on secondary roads.

can you pick me up a bag of chips and drive back home, that should knock out about 100 miles

I used to tune in jersey https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

just do it the racer way and let it idle for 45minutes and call it done

First start we let it run about 5 mins, checked/fixed leaks



Second start I let it run/idle for about 15 mins, varying throttle between 900-1500 rpms slowly



shut down let cool and check fluids



Third start I let it run/idle and vary throttle every 10 mins up to 2500 rpm, for 45 mins



Next was the road test. 2 miles to fill the tank, then a quick 5 mile jaunt down the road. From there we hooked up the E-fan to a switch and sent Mike down the road.

oh ok now he can start tuning the idlin/driving ranges

what happened to the engine? that car had a recently rebuilt engine. I was about to buy your car before the previous owner you bought it from acted faster then me

finaly done huh...congrats have fun and be safe

break it in judge ito spec..................MONSTER BURNOUT. if it doesn't break during that it won't break from just about anything shy of detonating it on purpose https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Way to go dude. I hope that all goes well for you and your car!

Freestyle: Have Ito tune it!!!!!! Good luck with it. What all has been done?

Camel: Did you bring the skyline back to Dover with you?

mikes car is so slow, even girls made fun of him.



then again he was staying at 3k rpms.... oh the pain i once knew before my engine mount fixed my WG lol.



as his reward i gave him a monster flame show on the highway https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



oh and mikes passenger seat sucks, wires on the floor, holes in the firewall, no fan box so constant cold air blownig on your feet, and your can reach through a hole in the firewall and try to grab the turbo.

lol

your lucky, I got in and had to listen for every little noise, squaek and bump he hit, and naswer for all of them :P

lol i called out all the noises and laughed and then thought up the worst possibility.



like his oil level light is on, he said he put in 6 quarts, i said "uh oh you blew your oil seals"



and i made it my job to point out every electrical problem because ive solved the same ones before in my car lol.



kevin.

EVERY LIGHT was on!!!! most annoying thing on the small road trip we took! hit bump, the entire warnign cluster lights up like a x-mas tree, shift gears all the lights come on, when we fist started it the oil pressure pegged and the coolant never came up on the gauge cluster, now none of them work...



Frestyles's car = teh Debil!!!!

all the lights still come on, and now they flash from dim to bright.



kevin.

Sounds like you guys crossed the streams or something

i thought you said that was bad?

Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive.

Wait! Can I join this break-in heat? Only, uh, 990 miles left on mine...

lol that light thing sounds just like my friends right before it broke.

but that has nothing to do with the car...its just the light cluster cpu
