Hello from NC

Daedalus704 · 02-27-2012, 01:17 PM

Hello, I'm a mildy active member of the other rx7 forum or "club". I don't post often due to the ability to use google and forum search functions, but I figured I may as well register here for research/buying purposes.
I'm a moderately new s4 TII owner but I am not completely new to rotaries. My father owned two n/a s4's when I was younger.

As far as my car goes... It's a beautifully kept white TII with blue cloth interior. Rebuilt and street ported engine, rebuild done by Kevin Landers of Rotary Ressurection. RB Turbo back exhaust and s5 turbo. Currently waiting on my Power FC to arrive so I can do a small electronics update. In the meantime, debating on what turbo and manifold to buy, which vmount kit to purchase, wheels, suspension, etc. I'll be keeping this car for a long time.

+1 on the where in NC. I have an FD but Im helping a friend build a s4 TII I sold him. We are doing a pretty decent build. He just got his motor back from Kevin, putting on a T04S with HKS mani, I had a vmount fabbed locally w while ago and theres quite a bit more we are getting involved in with the build. If you are close we could always use an extra hand and vice-versa.

Thanks for the info. Im currently working 2 jobs along with being a student so I have little free time. I would like to make it out to some meets after I get a mysterious bug taken care of that's stopping me from driving my car. Also soon after that I have some modifications to carry out (parallel fueling, apexi pfc, hybrid turbo, possibly a v mount).

If anyone has a clue as to why a TII would not have any power when turning or going over bumpy roads (all roads in Charlotte) and cut out under mild to heavy load (sometimes) Looking at the wideband while it's doing this shows me that the engine is leaning out when this happens. Im currently stumped. The car is doing pretty much exactly what the FD in the video is doing.
