    FS: '87 Mazda RX7/GN hybrid!

    For Sale: 1987 Mazda RX7 (second generation "FC") with a 1987 Buick Grand National turbocharged and intercooled drivetrain (LC2)! Imagine the rear wheel horsepower of a new Corvette ZO6 in a 200 pound lighter package! I purchased this on an impulse in March '08 and realize I'd REALLY rather have...

    Typical BLM changes w/ PCV capped?

    Well, finally got around to pulling and capping the vacuum block lines one at a time to chase my high BLMs. No changes till I did the PCV... watched as my BLMs slowly dropped from 150 to about 143 then I stopped there, but they may very well have continued! I have the correct AC Delo valve...

    Possible to ruin EGR control by vacuum testing?

    I am trying to track down the causes of my GN/RX-7 idling so poorly. Hoping to find a vacuum leak, I pulled off the EGR valve and controller. No leak, so I put a little Ultra Copper on the gasket and bolted the valve back down. Prior to reinstalling, I put my MityVac to use on the controller...

    ECM pin out for fan control?

    I tried searching, but can't find a list of ECM pinouts, or more specifically, the pin out for radiator fan control. My Hybrid RX7 must still be controlled by the Mazda settings as the fan does not turn on when DirectScan says it is signaled to. It comes on at a much higher temp and keeps my car...

    FS: SMC alky kit...

    I JUST got this from 390STEVE and it seems to be fine. My problem is that the reservoir is too big to fit under the hood of my RX7 and that would leave me no choice but to install it in the cabin with me and I'm not too keen on that idea, so I'll try to give someone else the same good deal I got...

    TV cable slips off arm in trans at WOT!?!?

    Every time I bury the throttle on my RX7, the trans arm pulls right out of the TV cable. I thought it was just that the adjuster was worn and slipping all the way out so fast that it would cause it to happen. So, I did a small trick that I had done before on worn cables: installed a small screw...

    Where to find 3.5" MAF hose?

    I searched and maybe just can't come up with the correct search words? I found 3" and 4" online, but can't find 3.5"! Bought some probably 6 years ago for my WE4 to use with an LT1 MAF, but sure can't remember where! Now I need it for the same application on my RX7. Thanks, Jay

    Starter troubles...

    I bought an RX7/LC2 hybrid a couple months ago, and it has been having an increasing in occurence intermittent no-start problem. I thought it was a dead spot in the starter so I bought a new one from the "other" board and it's doing the same thing. The starter kicks out, but it doesn't engage...

    No TCC lockup... help!

    Posted in trans section, too but: This is on my Mazda hybrid, so it's a unique situation. I didn't have TCC when I bought it, but I noticed the ECM speed read about half of actual, so figured that was the issue. Had my TurboTweak chip burned to account for that, but still nothing (now seeing...

    This is on my Mazda hybrid, so it's a unique situation. I didn't have TCC when I bought it, but I noticed the ECM speed read about half of actual, so figured that was the issue. Had my TurboTweak chip burned to account for that, but still nothing (now seeing the TCC command at the right speeds...

    Casper's VSS adapter help needed!

    I'm new to hybrids having just bought my RX7 3 weeks ago from Ted on here. Got to doing some datalogging and saw that while the Mazda speedo reads just fine, the ECM thinks it is going much slower than it really is. Ted had said the converter lock-up wasn't working, and I'm pretty sure this...

    Am looking to go pick up my new "toy" and drive it 625 miles home in a week or two, but it only has a race chip. Will need a street 55# chip and need it pretty quickly! Heck... I'll even "rent" one from ya if it'll get me home! Thanks, Jay

    WTB: adj. wastegate, valve cover breather kit, MAF hose, H.D. IC hoses

    Working on a buddy's of a buddy car (cool to have a GN in the garage again!), and before I run out and order some stuff, thought I'd try here first. Anybody got any of the above? Thanks,

    F/S: Alky DIY parts (pretty much complete kit)

    Well, alky just doesn't work quite the same on my '03 Cobra as it did on my Turbo Regals (darn!), so I'm going with a small shot of nitrous and selling my alky stuff. All the item listed have been on the car for maybe 2000 miles and sprayed about 20 times at the most. Here's what I've got...

    F/S: Stock turbo crankshaft and K&N filter...

    Stock virgin turbo crank. Was told AT THE MOST it may need polishing when I acquired it. Don't know what the going price is for cranks... how 'bout $125 plus shipping? Used 9" K&N filter with a 3.5" opening for use with LT1/LS1 MAF. Good shape... $30 shipped Thanks,

    F/S: 11 different GMP 1/18th Buicks on eBay--low starting bids!

    Just what the subject says! Just do an eBay search on "ygetv8" and you'll see them all! Keep in mind, if you purchase any of these, you'll be directly responsible for helping to push my Cobra into the 125-127 mph trap speed range, so I can't be held liable for your actions! ;) I love my...

    F/S: Misc. TR stuff...

    Alas, I've sold my last Turbo Regal and most of my spare parts collection went with it. But, I found some more stuff I didn't know I had and/or were duplicates of the parts that went with my car that needs to go, too. Email me for a pic of any of the following: Used LT1 3.5" MAF and 9" K&N to...
