I just saw this thread ,with all that torque you will need a garfinkle engine torque brace and a garfinkle oil pan brace for sure . Have you seen the garfinkle belt idler ,it is as nice as yours .

As Brian said, yes to the 99's. Wish you were around too, we will have some fun when you get back state side. We are currently working on the inside wiring (wideband, Dual EGT, Datalogit and Carputer) so I should have an update in a couple of days. We were going to work on some of it last night but ran into a high idle issue and a sensor not working. Resolved both of those so it is back onto the wiring.

You didn't forget, you were just testing our diagnostic skills

Oil pan brace is already on and we should be installing the torque brace this weekend. Like everything else you make your airpump delete idler pulley is a work of art. We just took two different paths to achieve the same goal.

The thread looks good Dan. For the record, I am not responsible for any blindness resulting from polished parts.

Garfinkles Motor Works · 05-01-2008, 09:05 PM

Do polished parts make you blind ,what shall I do . Dan can not have his engine torque brace link unless I get a ride .

hahaha, of course you can have a ride.

Updated the second post with some picture after I added the second element to the wing. I have decided that the second element needs to be about 1" lower and will do that first thing in the morning.

Seems we have chased down most of the gremlins and should be putting her on the dyno tomorrow right after we finish up the internal wiring. The dual EGT and XD-16 guage are working great; just have to install the Tripower gauge pod in the right place. I'm pretty impressed with the XD-16, very nice display and easy to read even sitting on the passenger floor board

.

After a week of heat cycles on the motor it is now pulling 18"-19" of vacuum at idle which I have down to 900rpm now. Air fuel is low to mid 12's so I have some tuning to do. It also has a pretty bad lean tip in that I will have to work out.

Ran into several issues today installing the carputer and LCD. Took us almost 8 hours to finish off the wiring and get the interior all back together.

We had another RX7 come into for a fender roll and tune so I never got my car on the dyno. We will be putting some breakin miles are her tomorrow and get her on the dyno around mid week.

The list of things to get done is getting shorter:

Install Kazz LSD and 4.77 ring and pinion
Pull off front bumper and hood, prime and put back on.
Install undertray, front spoiler, feed side skirts, front combo lights and oil cooler ducts
Alignment and corner balance
Install surge tank cover
Tune
Mount Hoosier A6’s on wheels

So thats what you were doing over there all day. All I got done with putting a timing belt on and getting a motor mount reinstalled.

Dan, pick up the primer today and I will try to prime the panels tomorrow and reinstall them on Wednesday while you are playing with your rear end.

Very close. All I have left to install is the turbo parts, change the fluids, and hopefully start it up tomorrow night.
