confusing?!?!?! hahaha no way man!! piston engines are wayyyy more complicated and confusing!!

the 13b motor that i have only has 3 moving parts in that make it run lolll

no need to worry about valves, lifter, springs, rods, crank, cams, etc...

just 2 rotors and an e-shaft loll

 

got some love from UPS today!!

The Kirk Racing Roll Bar, and the last of the fittings i needed to finish up the fuel system arrived today

this weekend will be loads of fun!!!

 

the lift queen is almost done!!! should be firing her up this week!!! 2 more fittings, just 2 more fittings!!! the anticipation is killing me!!!!!

 

First off, love the build. The RX7 is one of those cars that even today could pass for a new car with it's body style.

This probably a dumb ass question (I can admit that, lol) but The headlights, not yet fitted or plan to leave the opening below the headlight casings open? If so will that not cause any drag?

Be sure to post a video when it's all full tuned, love to hear it.

 

thanks alot man

and dont worry man theres no such thing as a dumb question lol
I havent fitted the headlights in there yet, i will also be running brake ducting from the openings

 

Awesome to see a build thread like this. Glad you have the discipline to take picture through the whole process. Nice build

 

Well duty calls and i wont be able to finish the car this weekend

I have to help out some of friends at Simply Clean 4 out in Orlando, FL

But shes just about ready to start
got everything for the fuel system, so i'll be putting that all together on sunday
and also modifying the oil drain line from the top turbo which i found was touching the manifold

then my engine builder will be coming to the house sometime next week to plug up the wiring harness and starting her up

hopefully i'll get to tune her on friday of next week!!

got to take some motivational pics today that i thought i'd share with you guys lol

 

finally have some updates for you guys!!

well good and bad updates sadly

the good is that the motor is all put back together...

i ran into a massive oil leak because of the rear oil return flange on the block, turns out there was an edge there i couldnt see and the flange ending up resting on the flange and didnt seal against the block, so i had to grind down an excessive edge on the flange and put it back together...everything is perfect with that now

I also made my first attempts at starting which didnt work LOL!! didnt really expect more than that though lol

it sounds like the motor is flooded so i'm going to pull the EGI fuse and turn it over a couple times to get rid of the excess fuel, clean up the plugs and give it another shot tomorrow

PICS AND VIDEO!!
the last pic of just the exhaust smoking which was pretty cool lol

 

Still amazing man I keep coming back. Can't wait to hear it!

 

Wow!!! Great build thread curacaosfinest A lot of sweat and money went into your car, great to see that passion for the RX7. One of my fav RX7's is the veilside one
