Title: rx7 died

Hey, was on the way home and lost most of the power, thought it must have been the first turbo gone, cos was still pulling further up the revs. So i carried on cos i was playing a footie match and she died completely 3 miles from my destination. I think it knackered, it wont start. How much roughly for a rebuild? Single turbo!
 
Thanks Matthew

How many miles has the engine done ??

Will it restart and then be smoky and lumpy and not hold idle ???

Depending on where you go prices will vary for a rebuild, possibly from £3000 - 4500 going single will be more with the turbo unit costing maybe £1800 ??? depending on what you go for, and may require bigger injectors and possible porting and fuel pump ??? can become a big list very quickly.

It had done 70,000 miles, but had a rebuild 15,000 miles ago, not by me. It wont even start, like there is no compresion. There wasnt any smoke when it died. I dont understand it, i was expecting loads of smoke!

Who rebuilt it?

Also, what were the exact circumstances. Was you giving it WOT?
