*uck God*ammit *other*ucker SOB *hit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif



WELL I think I finally blew my MOTOR..

130K original Motor and turbos. and

She finally Gave out.



Driving to work on 495, in 5th gear, I gas a little

to pass this *ickhead going way to slow, I hear

a POP, and lost all POWER. and Car started

sounding like a Lawnmower (for real). and I

automatically thought. Damn Blew my motor.

Car almost stalled going 65mph. But kept her

revving, HOPING to make it to work. Needless

to say. My car was backfiring, barely idling,

and spewing blk smoke. Drove her about 10 miles

on blown motor, Me revving to keep her alive.

Then parked and watched her idle.. Barely staying

alive while spewing blk smoke.. Gave her couple

of revs, to hear her back fire and cough up more smoke.



1st. Can someone get DEMETRIOUS telephone # for me??

I been banned from RX7club or i would do it myself.



2nd. Since my Motor already blown. Can the motor be hurt more by me driving it, Back home?? or to Shop????

The motor is toast, but i can get it started and PUTT PUTT

to my house or shop?? Figure need new motor anyways.

any 411? or do i have to spend more $$ on towing?



3rd.. WTF happened??? I have gone out myway to

make the engine from popping..

Anyone know what my car would be worth if I sold

it with a blown motor or with rebuilt??



Anyone know how much damage at my bank account

am I looking at??



Thanks..

okay, I'll do my best here:

1) I have no idea who demetrious is.

2) It's probably safe to drive it home, but stay off the boost! I drove my blown motor across Denver, and it really only sucked at idle. Other than that, it was smooth, just lacking power. No harm done, the mechanic even said it was okay. (he's a certified rotary mechanic, the only one in the city - owns an FD)

3) uh, dude - 130k????? Most people's blow at 60k or so, you got your money's worth. This really should be a post of triumph, that tuning probably kept your motor safe! Come to think of it, only honda motors last past 130k https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

4) You car *might* be worth $8 G's with a blown motor, assuming everything else is nearly perfect.

5) My buddy just got a full motor rebuild, with a streetport and 1 year warranty, from Dave at KD Rotary - Less than $5000 shipped there and back.

I Cant answer any of your questions. But I will buy your FD. I have 8000 in cash... seriously

and i can provide a trade car.[QUOTE] https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

130k miles...DAMN. Sure that wasn't the second motor :smirk:

Thanks 13B...

Are you sure that the motor is blown? Did you do a compression check? Did you check the MAP sensor? It could be something stupid.

check those out first.

Getting a tow.....$100

Having the motor rebuilt.......$4000

Getting banned from the rx7 forum......priceless :bigok:



Sorry to hear your motor blew, but damn 130k!! Good luck and hope you get it fixed soon.

Damn thats alot of miles for that motor to last.You must have looked after it well.Time for a good rebuild.
