I was just reading the topic about the T2 conversion and when revvin mentioned he had oil lines from his last motor, I realized...arent the oil lines the same on all the 2nd gens???? If this is the case, I feel dumb as ****...I can go pick some up this week, lol...but please correct me if I'm wrong. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

Oh man...well now since I don't have to be at work til the evening tom and its not supposed to rain, I might even be able to...dare i say...FINISH the SE-X???? I still need some misc nuts for the tb/ic and i need a bolt for the tranny and the starter(both are installed, but are missing just one bolt)...so I'll probably rummage around and find some to hold me over and get some oil and some antifreeze, and see if that little bastard of a car starts https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Cool,Good luck.Make sure everything is hooked up properly before you start it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Don't start.... don't start....c'mon keep those fingers crossed ppl :smirk: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Well, it probably wont start lol...i dont have the oil pressure sensor hooked up or the water temp sensor...



...motor will probably still run fine, i just wont know if its running correctly, lol...

OKIERX-7?

I know you're mad excited to drive it, just think its was at 146hp now its gonna be O SO FUN!

knew it was with an O

If you have nothing to say, dont say anything at all thanks.

Second post I seen from you and all you say is GOT RICE, and all I

have looked at is 3 posts so far.

ahah @ rob! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/blackeye.gif

That was him...where is he now..hmmmm..hope his car is still running.



Yea...actually my NA was 170HP https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif



lol, but its all good...it was still not turbo!

Did you ever dyno it? I had a lot of mods on my n/a too, i suspected 180 @ the flywheel, since my old motor had perfect compression.

I dont post here alot but I am in the final stages of converting my 88GTU to a turbo. I need to put in my drive line, hook up engine harness, and install exhaust and I will be ablt to see if this bastard will run! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE RUNNNNNN!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The NA never got dynoed...I'm estimating 170ish....but like I said, still not a turbo, lol. When my NA motor was taken down, my apex seals and rotor housings were perfect, just the damn coolant seals were shot...so I'm sure compression was fine(had perfect compression when I bought it)

Rotaryman88:Get that car running.We need to hear about this thing running like a dream again.

I went to go visit an ex today who I was dating back when the Rx7 was running...she loved the car to death and was sad when she saw me show up in the protege. She knew I was working on it earlier in the year, but didn't know I STILL hadn't finished it. So now she is on my case every 10min to work on it, lol...she just wants another ride :bigok:



I love girls who are into my car!
