engine is OUT! i checked the engine all the apex seals are there. i think an apex collapsed. this was my original assumption. i can't wait to tear the sucker down. pix in a little while ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Your about 3 steps ahead of me...good thing too, I know right where to go w/ my questions once I start my tear down, lol.

You guys are slow. B)

Cool, ******* A man!

I spent the better part of today scraping my seals out of my housing and contemplating buying a parts washer. I have been using a bin to clean my parts in, but it kind of sucks. I think I might just bring my rotors down to the machine shop and have them dip both for me. Ah hell, I might just have them dip everything https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Rob x-7 05-22-2002 06:34 PM

You could just use whats in the parts washer, kerosene, or did you mean to let them steam clean the parts?

I've got a parts washer in lake stevens just up the road from you that you are welcome to use however it has no solvent in it right now as I was planning on moving it soon.



Prolly easier just to take it in and have it done.

winger 05-22-2002 07:18 PM

whats the best for parts cleaning? i used engine degreaser and it sucks...

and would boiling the parts hurt? like the housings, manifold, etc...?? it might sound ridiculous but i'll give it a shot someday

Kerosene is a excellent parts cleaner. Ok Vosko, now Ill bring a convertible over, drop that engine in, and Ill be on my way. Its ok if its broken.

vosko 05-23-2002 06:46 PM

i need to get the damn flywheel nut off so i can start taking this sucker apart. i looked through the exhaust port, one of the apex seals chipped....

UniqueTII 05-23-2002 07:42 PM

Nope, no heater core. And they're not mittens...I need my fingers seperated to flip off your engine...I hear it's the cool thing to do. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

vosko 05-23-2002 10:05 PM

so far list includes rebuilding engine street porting with new housings and rotor, haltech e6k, walbro fuel pump, k2rd rail, 1600 cc secondaries, send out 550's to get cleaned @ marren, custom NPR intercooler setup, maybe FD UIM, boost controller maybe another blitz sbc id https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png, gotta do throttle body mod, possible going custom turbo kit with 13BAce manifold and turbo that's lying around, i think that's *all*

Did you know that you can get 1600's for $60/each? The only problem is that you have to buy 8 at a time.

There is a brand new NPR intercooler on Ebay. The reserve is $550 though.

Here is a link to it....... NPR Intercooler

RX7 86-92 12040035 (87-89) Stock Turbo (24 Vspec) 1,180.00 926.30

RX7 86-92 12040036 (87-89) GReddy turbo (24 Rspec) 1,280.00 1,004.80



from horsepower freaks. i think turborotor got the bottom one. i might even be able to get the intercooler a little cheaper. i have to decide if i'm gonna keep my garrett upgraded stock turbo or go with a custom single turbo kit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

UniqueTII 05-24-2002 10:57 AM

You're still buying from Greddy?

vosko 05-24-2002 10:59 AM

we'll see if i ever get my pipe for the FD intercooler kit. if i do maybe i'll get another greddy intercooler https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



i could always dump $3200 and get the greddy TD07SH and greddy fmic from japan from jesse lau https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif
