i'm going to be starting my TII swapped 1st gen for the 1st time and i was wondering whats the best method to lube the seals and such and what procedures i should do when i start it.

Make sure you prime the oil system.You need to dissconnect your fuel pump via the fuse in your fuse box then take off the oil filter and hold the gas down and wait for oil to come out of where the filter sits.If you get oil at the pedestal then you motor should be ready to rip.If theres no oil at the pedestal you need to look at a solution to your new found problem.

 

i'm using a haltech so should i still just unplug the fuel pump fuse?

 

on a haltech the easiest way to turn off the injectors is just turn them off in the software.

 

actully you don't need to crank the engine over because oil will go everywhere,under that much pressure,all you need to do is poor about a half a quart of oil down the hole in the center of the oil filter mount,then use a blowgun with a rubber tip and blow air through the hole you just poored theoil down,this lubes all of the bearings in the engine,you will be able to start the engine without worry.by the way i've been playing with Mazdasfor around 20years,Rob from Pineapple Racing tought me most of what i know.i'm getting ready to put a tll engine in my Rotary truck,also have a RX-3 SP,with a 13B P-Port,runs pretty good,12.58@110mph/1/4 mile,not bad for a street car eh?

 

ok guys, tried to start her. no go, she was trying to turn over but never got started. any ideas?

heheh... Colins advice to me... Starter Fluid ... if it can start my big *** V8 diesel truck.. I don't see why it wouldn't work for your 1.3 liter... sparingly though.. I thought colin was kidding when he said don't use but a squirt... white smoke, then brown smoke(?), then all good with the blackish diesel clouds...

 

ok, i'll give it a try.

she started!!!!!!!!!!!..........kinda.......she'd roll over for a few seconds then drop and die, i think its a bad fuel pump. i'll have to order a new one.
