Re: Rx7 Faq

what to look for when buying an FC
http://fc3spro.com/TECH/h2b.html
FD Buyer's Guide
http://rx7.voodoobox.net/infofaq/bguide3g/bguide3g.html

How much Horsepower did the FC come with from the factory?
86-88 NA = 146 HP @ 6500 RPM w/ 138 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM
86-88 Turbo = 182 @ 6500 RPM w/ 183 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM
89-91 NA = 160 HP @ 7000 RPM w/ 140 Ft/lb @ 4000 RPM
89-91 Turbo = 200-202 @ 6500 RPM w/ 196 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM
Infini IV = 215 @ 6500 RPM w/ 206 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM

Will an FD motor fit in an FC?
The motor mounts are in different locations as well as other issues; however if you have enough time and money it can be done. It is generally cheaper and easier however to put in a 20B (typically around $10,000 installed) than it is an 13B-REW from a FD. http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/FD3S/rew.html

Re: Rx7 Faq

what is premixing?

Pre-mix: mix motor oil and fuel so that they can be injected into the chambers at combustion time. It is advantageous because the rotary burns a little oil by design. You can remove the OMP to do this, but its not always necessary.

rx7 won't start? injectors won't fire?

had an interesting problem come up on an '87se i bought for an engine swap.

the girl i bought the car from said her boyfriend tried to start the car one morning and it wouldn't. she brought it to mechanics and they couldn't figure it out. i cranked the car, the exhaust pulse was low so i figured mebbe the seals had blown. didn't matter the motor was coming out and i was putting in a fresh s4 street port engine. paid her $150.00 and went on my merry.

fast forward --> got my motor in and guess what, IT WOULDN'T START! checked vitals; spark, air and gas. gas to the injectors but no gas in the engine. pour some gas down the intake and it'd start right up. looks like a dead ECU right? NOPE!

the injectors we're getting power and the ECU was giving the correct ground pulse. what gives? power and ground = a complete circuit?! bad injectors, all 4? doubtful. i checked the schematic.

then i caught it *** condensor F-43 *** it's official name is Radio Noise Filter ($6.00 part). this sucker is a RF noise suppresor for injector noise. a capacitor directly connected to the power side of the fuel injectors. a little black square semiconductor mounted under the trailing ignitor with a single wire coming off it (F-43). when they go bad, they leak voltage from power to ground = short circuit. but this only happens when they cycle = cranking the car. so that's why i had power at the injectors when i checked, I WASN'T CRANKING THE CAR!

i disconnected the lead and cranked the car - VROOM!. swapped in another and i've been tearing up the roads ever since! ~Rich
