Just to let everyone know, when I replaced my differential (because my stock one broke) I put a new .71 5th gear in from a 4-cyl Probe. It was a direct swap, I got the transmission for $20 at a local junkyard as the case was cracked due to the accident it was in. My rpms are about 500 lower...

That would be a no. Ford discontinued those parts, just checked this morning.

From what I've seen, you just need a new LSD, transmission should be okay. Everyone told me (even a few mechanics) "Its your clutch, just take it out and you'll see". I knew from the get-go it was my LSD that went bad...sure enough, took it apart and that was it.

EGT and wideband oxygen sensors are two tools to complete two different tasks. One is no better than the other because they do completely different things. Typically, a wideband oxygen sensor is used for tuning air/fuel ratio's. Once you have that done you go to exhaust gas temp and tune the...

Add me to the list N1XRR 64500mi

Actually, I refuse to read half the crap on here. Short answer is no, I didn't read any of that. And I'm not proposing to "simply" swap out the BPV with a bigger one. That just won't work. I had to actually weld a new flange that was about 2" in diameter and use a prototype BOV to get...

Pfft. I wouldn't trust a basemap unless someone like "The Hitman" made it. And thats the key right there, basemap. Its easy to load a basemap on a car and say "done!". Its hard to build a map from scratch, tune it and actually have it run correctly.

Whatever makes you feel better buddy.

Import tuning? I hope that you don't concider "tuning" putting an exhaust and intake on a car. Try doing some REAL tuning, like a Haltech on a Bridge-ported RX7...THERE is a challenge.

Okay, thank you for proving how useless this forum really is. I tried to post some actual explanation about a known problem that is still giving people "problems" and all I get is bashing from all over the place(there are a few smart people,d on't get me wrong). One thing is for sure, if I have...

Really? So what I gathered from this is that your taking some people's opinions on this forum to make your decision. I went thru my intake piping on this car using a bunch of mandrel bent piping lying around and a bunch of silicon couplers and completely eliminated the pressure wave. Of...

Thank you! 2nd gen RX7's have this same issue if you are running 9-10psi(they start fluttering) and sometimes they blow off the intercooler rubber couplers if they arn't tightened down enough(enormous pressure wave). As for capping off the BPV. It absolutly won't hurt the car at all under...

Its actually quite simple. The bypass valve is too small. The pressure wave from the throttle body being snapped closed keeps bouncing off the throttle plate and the turbocharger...think of a slinky stretched between two points and you pull on one side and let go. Or, think of an echo, but...

Hey guys, Mike here. I think this is a pretty good idea, and would like to hang out with you guys some. I'm in Clemson, and autocross here 1-2 times per month. I own: 1988 10th Anniversary Edition RX-7(Turbo) 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege(Black Mica) and I'm co-driving: 1994 Miata (We're...

We had an autocross Saturday. I am now driving my buddies Miata as a co-driver as he needs help with working on the car and race tires. I've been autocrossing for about 4 years now. Since that time I've driven, my 1st gen RX7, the clubs 1st gen RX7, my TII, the clubs 1st gen RX7(again), then...

You should hear the 6s under full acceleration, once its past 4k it sounds REALLY nice. The 2.3L sounds REALLY REALLY nice with an exhaust on it.

If anyone is interested...I have a Kenwood tuner box(the one designed for the Kenwood tuners including the MP919) I'd sell for $15 shipped. If you can't get them any more, then I'd sell mine. No antenna included, but you can get one of those at Best Buy/Circuit City.

I don't want to sound like I'm putting down your car or anything...but thats just weak. My car will break the tires loose in weather below 50 deg no matter what in 1st gear...and then about 5000rpms in 2nd. I have NO mods done to the engine. Maybe my car just has a strong engine...

If your coasting...no. But, as soon as you TOUCH the accelerator...there's the turbo.
