well I have been so busy lately I have had niether the money or the time to work on my car. In my absense it seems that one of my cylinders decided to give me a nice ring of rust while I was going to test my oil pump. So I decided not to force the crank and take the heads off and remove whatever...

I am just doing a little port matching and deshrouding the area around the valves and see what I get, I am not shooting for gobs of torque here just enough to make a NA really fun. here is some pics of my port matching, nothing extreme but every little bit helps.

Well I have looked into my rx7 FSM and see that when connector is grounded oil light is iluminated. and the sensor itself DOES NOT have conductivity in the upper position and DOES have continutiy in the lower postion. Hope that helps in your research

Thats pretty awesome Peewee. I cant wait to get mine all painted up, I am painting the block silver and then I cam getting the vavle covers powdercoated gloss black and then If i am feeling lucky, get some custom CNC sparkplug covers :) But today I test fitted the engine again with the pan and...

OK so tonight I continue my cleaning of the block on heads and assesment of the motors condition. I did a compression test and 120psi across the board, But I did find that the rotors are cracked so thats one more thing I have to purchase to freshen the motor up. The timing belt also had a...

yeah I want to use the RX7 warning light, But my sensor and connector were damaged in shipping so I have to get a new one regardless. From my information the input shafts are about the same length, the TKO has a 183mm shaft while the only dimensions for the T56 tranny are 154mm for the...

well this is how the conversion goes. Apparently Dellow auto makes a bellhousing for a TKO 600 transmisison, good for the tremec guys bad for me. But mcleod makes an adapter from a TKO 600 tranny to a T56 tranny adapter plate, so this works to my advantage. I end up using two adapters to fit...

Well today before I have to sprint off to work I Have test fitted the engine in the car and there is a decent amount of room say for the porpotioning vavle. But the engine is going to Give me ample room to mount to the RX7 subframe with relative ease. The only proplem is the tube that hangs...

Thats pretty sweet, I would like some more pictures especially ones of your valves covers

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND more pictures and yes I am polishing the block

Hey everyone! Well I have finally recieved My engine and I am taking it down to a short block to asses its condition and so far I have been given a very very clean motor. This swap is going into a 1988 RX7 turboII chassis and is getting a T56 manual 6 speed transmisison with help from Dellow...

by "special" do you mean custom one off harness? or modified stock harness?

Vbulletin only allows 10 choices, so just select other i guess. Or if you have the ability to make the Poll choice higher feel free to edit the poll.:veryhappy I also Forgot Hawk ECU, dont know if anyone is running that one though.:shrug:

Hey all, I am just trying to get a feel for what everyone is using as thier stand alone systems so I can better decide on a reliable ECU. Post what you have and was it easy to install? Also were you able to use stock dizzys and stock coil/ignitor etc.?

Well the budget for the car is $15,000 all said and done. Most of the work will be done by me and Fabrication costs will be a minimum. As for the tranny I am probably going to use a T56 mounted on a custom adapter (made by me) to the 1UZ with a 6th gear of .6 or .61 . I am banking on finding...

yeah i know the LSx series is very popular i just decided not to do the LSx series swap because the 1UZ engine is cheaper then the LSx. I am on a time constraint with the swap and cheaper means it can be completed faster and plus I wanted something a little different :veryhappy . I am not...

I was going to use a T56 for my northstar, because it came with super low gears (.50 in 6th) and that would have worked out perfectly with my 4.10 rear end. the picture you put up for the t56 looks more like a t5 this is a T56 with an alternate bellhousing on it Over here in the states D&D...

Yeah more info def! I am over in the states here doing the same thing, i jsut need to figure out the wiring ECU and what tranny to use. More info !
