Bah, turbo on the CX-7 has shat itself, can only drive sub 2500rpm....applying throttle results in burning oil smoke out of the PCV :(

Anyone mechanics keen to do the swap-over? The turbo is at the rear of the engine and a real c%$t to get at, name your price :D

Rnr on Wednesday, can't wait to drive my car again, ants I don't know how you've waited so long

Its been 3 weeks for me and I'm dying lol. Ants has great patience.

I did however drive mine for 10mins this morning testing out the new brakes. Verdict, they need more bleeding lol

well I have limited time really. Patience as Scottie said also help but only to a degree.

Everything I do to my car I've basically wanted to do it like yesterday..............it never happens like that

Got a deadline to do my bits. Fuel pump, cam gears, AFM's and injectors need to be in by the time i finish RnR, booked in for a tune on the second day back from my next swing, so hopefully it'll be a whole new beast for... march.

Don't think the injectors have left the states yet though, so might not get them until I head back out to site. Good thing I left myself a spare contingency day.

    • No requirement for JDM vehicles,  which the 33 is, maroney label only needed in the US market for new cars I believe (Federal law stuff) Google knows all
    • Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly 
    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
