i havnt had an engine light on the F-CON since i cleared up my water damage in my harness.

clear dash except the airbag one :verymad:

No engine light since resetting mine, I have done over 1000ks now. :)

thanks for the offer Russell but I'll see how it goes for now haven't had any drama's yet and I've put my old afm back in.

the problem with Scotty's afm is I'll need to get a retune anyways :( or put a resistor on it to get the correct values like the stock one.

Why haven't you gone to a MAP sensor tune yet?

on the upside of my RX7 woes I think I've blown the front drivers side wheel bearing on the Stagea again LOL

haven't even bothered with my F-Con problems either :(

well I had a metal to metal scraping noise coming from the passengers side front wheel checked the brake out a few times and didn't seem to be rubbing so I replaced the wheel bearing only to find the noise was still there afterwards......... hhmmm wonder if its a CV ??? :(

Okay i have a strange metal on metal scrapping noise its been driving me mad for a few months coming from the front passengers side.

firstly it does it mainly when coasting along as soon as you hit the throttle even a little bit it stops, and doesnt really make a difference if its loaded or unloaded.

so far I've checked the brakes, even went as far as pulling them off to inspect them. (sounded like a stone could've been stuck in it but wasn't) BTW i checked this multipul times.

then i bit the bullet and replaced the wheel bearing as its probably copped a hiding especially on the ripple strips at the track but the noise was still there.

next i thought I'd get the disc machined just in case, no difference.

still looking i thought the only other thing it could be would be the CV / drive shaft so i replaced that as well with no avail.

got to thinking maybe the front diff was on the way out and transmitting the noise out onto the wheel so i drained the fluid and everything looked pretty typical no major metal fillings and the fluid looked pretty clean.

so just incase its got anything to do with the gearbox I'm currently replacing the fluid in that as well ( doesn't go astray as its probably been 4 years since it was changed and i mainly drive in manual mode)

now I'm out of idea's and its driving me mad!!!

maybe the new wheel bearing was pressed in badly i dunno but it made the same sound minutes after it was changed from the old one.......


please i need your help before i go nuts!!!

You tried putting it up on stands and hunting out where the noise is coming from?

My first thoughts was disc rubbing on stone shield or even the bottom hub alloy thing.

I know my GTR discs rubbed on them before I adjusted them...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
