Hi guys and girls
Tomorrow night i shal be picking up my first Rx-7. Its an Efini in dark greeny bluely colour (montego blue??????). Im going from a Starlet GT Turbo up to this so its a bit of a step up! Hopefully after christmas i shall be booking up a skid pan day just to help me as i\'m not use to RWD.
One quick question is that the first turbo seems to be letting off boost early. It winds up and boots up but just seems to let off a lil early (doesn\'t disturb the second turbo\'s operation). I was thinking it might be a weak dump valve so that was my first thing i was gona test. Any other suggestions?
I shall post up pics after the weekend once i\'ve had chance to give a good clean up.
And last thing-Big thanks to Martin @ Speedline imports for sorting my first few parts out
-99 Spec rear lights(to get rid of the lexus lights-previous owner wasn\'t a chav!:Tongue1 )
-HKS Silent power exhaust
Cheers Guys

if it got a dump valve in it , it pos that it letting go while on boost ,is it stock or has it got ecu ect i would say you can put a stronger spring in it or remove the dump valve put the resec back in what boost is it running?
welcome nice to see spending on parts before you pick her up :Thumbsup!
Welcome to the club James.
@ Scratchies. Its a stock recirc dumpvalve in her at the mo. Stock ECU. Only thing its got is a cat back (not a very nice one) and its running stock boost. Wherebouts in Essex are you?
@ Pete-thanks mate.
@ Martin-Thank you sir.
Are you sure it\'s not just the normal dip in boost when the 2 turbo\'s cross over? around 4500rpm it drops to 8psi before going back up to 10.
P.S. And welcome to the club :D
Cheers mate.
Im sure its not cos the guy who owned it before said its not right. i shall know more in an hours time :D
Welcome Dude :Thumbsup!

Oh dear :( thanks lol
Ah cool Scratchies not far from me then.
On a side note got to actually drive it properly today as last night it was raining! It\'s got a massive boost leak on the first turbo. Had a look today and found a collapsed vacum hose for No.1 Dump valve. Replaced it. No joy so im gona take it back into work tomorrow and have another look. Oh and also managed to lose a headlight cover this morning on the way to work :Hammer . Plastic appears to have gone brittle over time and it had enough this morning. Lol
what side lamp cover did u lose and if you have no luck with your boost then if you like i may be able to help
