Good luck man!! I wish I was working on the 7, unfortunately I have to help a friend put a new cylinder head on a 92 Escort, and WP and timing belt. Piston engines FTL.

Ok so me and RX7tuner built the engine today... it was alot of fun, we had alot of laughs a few head scratchers and well something that just made us go WOW

but here it is as of tonight...

The control rings with the o-rings installed

Installed in the rotors

The rotors are all lubed up with Crisco

This iron has the o-rings installed and layered with crisco

umm yeah there I am .... with the shaft!!!

1 plate at a time

Getting closer

Together

assembled

I forgot to mention with my fingers in the plug holes and the engine turned over it had GREAT compression!!!

updates?

03-13-2008, 07:10 AM

The lim is bolted on
the exhaust manifold is completly stripped down and ready for high temp paint
the upper fuel rail has been painted (red)
the turbo was broken apart to clean and paint and I found the exhaust side was cracked inside.. (awaiting a new one)

still waiting for a clutch kit and flywheel

tonight I will paint the compressor housing (gunmetal)
tonight I will paint the lower fuel rail (red)
tonight I plan to paint the exhaust manifold (black)
tonight I plan to clean the uim and get it prepped for paint

next weekend I will send the injectors out to get cleaned and flow tested.

03-13-2008, 08:13 PM

Time for updates...

since last time I have:
cleaned and painted the water pump housing
cleaned and painted both fuel rails
cleaned and painted the thermostat neck

pulled the turbo apart (found the exhaust housing is junk) clean and painted the compressor housing

mounted the upper intake
mounted the upper fuel rail (need to put injectors in of course)
put the water pump housing on (awaiting water pump)

here are some pictures

From a nice neat table to this mess

looks very nice, make sure you take a video of the start up!

03-14-2008, 10:56 AM

OH will do.

03-23-2008, 10:18 AM

nothing really new to update.. I did however buy my ACT lightweight flywheel yesterday...

03-24-2008, 01:54 PM

Well ACT's website is wrong.. the flywheel I bought will NOT work on my car so now I am out the time and money in order to get the flywheel and resell it then buy a new one to get the engine installed!!!

this is why I HATE ACT!!!!
