It only took 30min...



motor chained up...we used a custom made crane that fit on the back of my tractor..again, we havent gotten a lift yet...

Closer look:

out she goes!!!

Damn, quick response vosko, lol. I dont have any pics of the actual lifting out...I was busy lifting the motor out, lol. However, we do have the whole thing on video...but I dont have a way to upload the video to my pc.





Motor is out:

Empty bay https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



The only hangup we had was getting tranny to drop off the motor...it didnt wanna let go, lol.

Lol, I hate these pics...but my friends make me post them. One of the only pics of my skinny ass. The bay makes a great seat though...oh, btw...NO I'M NOT 15!!!! lol...you dont know how many people say that.

Last pic for now...motor out/next step...new motor in https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

That's one clean looking car.http://www.plauder-smilies.com/happy/xyxthumbs.gif I bet it's going to be pretty fast soon. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

Yeah, and I'll be slow for a while.

I hope you dont drive that car-that-will-be-fast-sometime-in-the-future with those sandals on from that pic?

I don't think that was him.

We'll see. Chances are that the convertible will be out of action at least until the new year.

damn, I don't even have an impact gun. there is no way I can pull the engine out with my limited tools <_<



you look no older then 17.

You don't NEED an impact gun to do alot of the "heavy" work, but it makes things much easier.

I'm an adult, lol...but its funny because everywhere I go..I get carded...and when you loose a license, you cant go anywhere https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



Luckily I got my restricted license now...so thats all cleared up. The guy w/ the sandals was my buddy Jon, but I was wearin sandals too...lol, it was like 90+ and humid as hell, I didn't wanna wear pants AND shoes, I had to cool down somehow.



And yes, the car should be fast soon. I'm gonna pull the motor apart tom prolly to see what happened. I had planned on just rebuilding it and saving as an extra, but just by quick look and guessing...I don't think the rear rotor/housing are in reusable condition...so I'll probably part the motor out for whatever I can get..and I'll have the rear rotor & housing polished for a display piece, lol...

As long as the plates are good you'll have an "investment." https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

What plates? :unsure:

The side housings. People around here call them plates. I've started saying it because it's fewer words than side housings. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If I were you I would do a LARGE streetport on the spare housings.

Lol, ok...people down here still say sidehousings, lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png





A larger streetport..hmm...I will see how the side housings look when I get them apart...maybe I'll have them bridgeported for when the new block blows(hopefully it wont for a while)..a bridgeported BIG turbo https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I think I need to go change my pants https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

don't forget to also get a book, while you wait for that lag monster to boost https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Alot of the ghetto people say plates. Maybe I should stop doing that. :P

You must not know too much about turbos.

Well...I think it will spool just fine, lol. Ya gotta remember Rx7s have hella exhaust gas pulses...a stock motor spools a stock turbo really quick, so a modified motor will spool a bigger turbo quickly too...I'm not worried https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The typical big turbo will make full boost at a higher RPM than stock, but the powerband will extend much higher, well past 8-9K. A stock turbo craps out at about 6-7K. A friend of mine has an HKS TO4E kit on a big streetport, and the turbo starts to choke the motor a little at high RPM.

Lag isn't a big deal due to something called a transmission. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

89Rag...you wanna see ingenuity...go to the "other cars" forum and take a look at the pics of my buddy's MR2 motor we pulled...we used a front end loader, lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



Until our shop is open, we use whatever we can...

Yeah I checked that out earlier this week, Im tellin ya' that is fu@kin classic, you gotta love it LOL. Necessity IS the mother of all invention.

That is like some A-team ****, or even better MacGyver. I'll miss all the ingenuity when you switch to more conventional methods in a new shop.

Anyways good work, keep it comin.
