89CAL Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I always wanted an RX7, but was to expensive/impractical when I was 18. Skyline has done well, but part of me still wants an RX7. Look forward to seeing how this goes 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/447297-my-rx7-s8-track-car-build/page/2/#findComment-7377861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAGON_BOY Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nice to meet you to Mick!!!yeah I got caught in the act of buying all this.......... cos racecar!!! and thought it might be an idea to buy a surge tank whilst I was getting other bits and pieces. lets just say I'll be eating cardboard for the next few weeks!!! hopefully have almost sorted out the boost issues will finish putting in the new solenoids tomorrow and test her out!!!

Daleo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 do it once do it right 2 ltr surge tank with the option to later fit another Bosch 044. Because one isn't noisy enough!Coming along well!

WAGON_BOY Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 ended up replacing the whole blackbox of 7 solenoids and 2 green solenoids as one was brittle and broke and I now have pressure in the vacuum system!!! but I'm still not getting secondary boost so first point of call is to check I'm getting vacuum in the vacuum system (separate from the pressure side of the vacuum system) The system is so complex its a challenge to get my head around it.The turbo control solenoid uses both vacuum and pressure to operate properly, if not then it wont transition effectively. so I need to see if the "charge control actuator" and the "turbo control actuator" are moving then it means I have vacuum and the solenoid is faulty. The charge control solenoid was in the blackbox so that should be fine! so if that's working correctly I'll see the "double throttle control" actuator moving also. so much to check and make sure its operating correctly but I'm happy I'm getting on top of it!!! here are a couple of pic's to show the head f*ck LOL 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/447297-my-rx7-s8-track-car-build/page/2/#findComment-7378946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAGON_BOY Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 so the pressure side is done which is the picture in RED. and the another one just to show all the different paths of the system in colour LOL Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/447297-my-rx7-s8-track-car-build/page/2/#findComment-7378951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAGON_BOY Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 That's the thing Brett apparently a twin turbo FD with 280kw will blow any single turbo FD away even if it has 400+kw and some guys are pushing 345kw (537nm @ 5200rpm) out of the twins. So if I get all the vacuum system and solenoids replaced which I'm over halfway already with fault finding then it'll be good for another 12-15years (and with a vented bonnet maybe longer as there isn't as much heat in the engine bay.) You hear so many different stories and people are trying to push there own parts ETC but apparently all the FD race stuff ie: Spirit R or Bathurst R are the best items with the least problems but then some guys swear by the single turbo setups.Its hard to know what's right or wrong so it comes down to personal preference I guess.

XKLABA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think it comes down to race results, not dyno figures, and modifying a car to drive how you want it to Bring on the 22nd Um and since no one has called it yet, "shotgun" 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/447297-my-rx7-s8-track-car-build/page/2/#findComment-7379706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAGON_BOY Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 thought I'd have a break from the Vacuum system and gutted the rear instead!!! don't mind the blue its from the LED light I was using its actually white inside.
