After 5 hard weekends of work, I finished my motor swap. (Click on my sig for a little background)



All and all the project went pretty smooth, a few minor problems, nothing to big.



The motor started up in about three turns, then died right away. Cranked again and it started and smoked pretty bad due to the oil I put in it during storage. It took awhile for the PFC to learn, but after running for about 20 minutes, the motor seems to be running pretty good.



Quick list of mods:

Motor:

Pineapple Rebuild

Medium to Large Street Port

Stage Three Oil Mods

Ianette 3mm Apex Seals

Heavy Duty Water Seals

5 Year Warranty



ECU:

Apexi Power FC



Fuel System:

Walbro 255 Fuel Pump

Four 850cc Injectors

Braided SS Lines



Everything Else:

M2 Carbon Fiber Intake

M2/ASP Medium Stock Mount Intercooler

Greddy Alternator And Water Pump Pulleys

Stock Non-Sequential Turbo's

All Block-Off Plates

Full Exhaust-RX-7 store midpipe and Greddy PE



First Impressions:

1. Streetport Idle - little rough but not to bad

2. Solid motor mounts - They transfer a little more vibration from about 1000-2000 RPM's. They are defiantly not that bad though. I would recommend them to anyone, the drivtrain feels a lot more solid.

3. Exhaust note- Still pretty quiet at idle and up to about 4,000 rpm. I haven’t boosted it yet so I really don't know how loud it will be under power.

4. Performance-Still to come



Once I get the motor tuned, I will report with some more impressions.



Here are some pics for everyone to enjoy.
