My Drift Whore

last year i betrayed my 92 Supra, and bought a 86 RX7. I hated it the whole drive home from wyoming MN, as the weeks passed driving her, i realized that she was a good car, and treated me well. So now its my turn to treat her well, and turn her into my
"Drift Whore"

My shopping list includes:

JDM T2 13B from a S5 (any turbo upgrade suggestions?)
Megan Racing Coilovers
LSD from a S5




will post more pics as the goodies come in

 

BETRAYAL!

Heartless monster is what you are.

 

Nice can't wait to see that thing sliding sideways this summer

 

Hey jake, good to see ya joined, im sure alot of us in this forum will help you with your fc

 

Thanks guys, I know ill be needing a lot of help with this build. I am pretty much a noob when it comes to the rotary world. My main purpose for this build is to have her ready for the NOS event's this year, and of course as much seat time as possible.

So, my buddy informed me that the E fan from a ford taurus bolts right up, and works pretty well for the FC, so i ran out to johns auto parts, picked one up for about $20 wired it up so it was running through a relay, and it worked great for about 2.5 drift sessions, then shorted out.....any ideas or suggestions?

 

By shorted out did it take out the relay or is it just a problem with the fan?

 

it took out the relay.

 

if you have to you could always just wire it up to a switch with proper voltages.

 

yeah i have done that in the past, i think its a tad risky though

 

Like in case you forget to turn it on kind of scenario? lol

 

lol not so much, more like I was drifting one time, and somehow the insulation on the wire wore through and shorted out on the battery or somewhere. I don't remember where it made contact, but it pretty much turned into a red hot knife, and cut through my oil line running to my oil pressure gauge in my Supra lol

 

oh fun stuff!

 

LOL Right?!!?!?!?!?!?

 

How did they fit a 13b in a Flat Rate Mailing Envelope damn those guys are good!


New Lower ball joints came in today

 

did u buy this from some black dude around the SLP area? ifso i would run into it ll the time when i had my green G20

 

How is this project coming man? Any updates?

 

Project is going well. I swapped in a new 13B, and just installed BC racing coilovers. I am however, having idle issues with the 13b. It starts up, will idle at 3k for about a min, then it kills completely. The times I can keep it running, it will idle pulse between 1,500 and 2,000. Help?! Any tips or ideas will help at this point. I've checked for vacuum leaks, and can't find anything. The motor ran just fine, when I had it in the old FC. Hence the reason I'm lost.

 

3k would be the accelerated warm up, as far as idle try calibrating the tps and then idle adjust screw

Also is it a stock ecu?

 

Yeah it's the stock ecu, and I've tried the idle adjust screw

 

Test the TPS, I have had 2 go out on me in the past 3ish years that caused all sorts of random issues.
