i figured out the problem. SOMEHOW in my test drive around the block a washer got stuck in the bov sticking it OPEN! WTF what are the odds. anyway. it idles perfect at 750rpm again. it smokes like a mother though. i'm pretty sure my turbo is shot :( i'm only getting 7psi..... around town it runs fine but on the highway gets a little hot. i think its time to order a giant high cfm electric cooling fan. needless to say the other engine at 15psi was way faster LOL

how longs it been since this thing ran??
|
TII ran last week but engine had blown coolant seal. i swapped in ANOTHER engine. it broke like 2 months ago i think.....
|
oh i thought it had been longer. congrats on the running tII i would be happy to have a not running tII!!!!!!!!

Stock turbos suck, even if rebuilt. It sucks to learn that the hard way.

Vosko: Turbos fear him.

i know. i'm leaning towards getting the hks t04e turbo kit for $2000. but i don't have $2000 at the moment. we'll see what happens. i hate stock turbos almost as much as i hate vacuum lines https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

RX-7 owners: The ozone layer fears us.
$2 grand is a whole lot for a turbo, but the fact that mine only has 6K miles on it and there's already oil on the compressor wheel is enough to sell me. |
well the hks t04e kit comes with everything. all i need is to have the fmic piping made and my bov put into the piping. turbo,manifold,wastegate, oil lines etc https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
