Does anyone have a pic of a stock engine bay?
Ive started work on my Rex and im looking to see whats stock and whats not lol. Im not sure if it makes a difference but its a Efini Twin Turbo.
Just need to see how many Rad\'s etc there is as im 97% sure mine has an extra aftermarket Rad.
Cheers
Mike

cant see your rad in that pic or are you talking about your intercooler
after market intercooler, induction kit and blue pipe work.
looks like you have a type x auto with sun roof and cruise control?
Still running the OEM airpump though
You think its better to mod the airpump?
Yeah its an auto with sun roof and cruise control. Just the Efini model tho.
Sorry guys im having a bad day......it is indeed an intercooler not rad lol
ok slight debate goin on her. My mrs wants me to wait to rebuild the engine. Id like to do it now so nothing else goes wrong on it.
Whats the opinions on this?
Cheers
What are the compression figures on the engine?
Tbh i dont think the engine has ever been compression tested.
You think this would help find out whats wrong with the car?
Most definitely, compression test can show all manner of things
Anyone know anywhere in scotland that will perform this?
Im in the south west scotland. Have no idea where to start.
Cheers
Can\'t help you with that one personally I\'m afraid as I don\'t know Scotland at all, there\'s always the option of buying a compression tester for rotaries, but you might not like the price of them
Can mazda not do it? I also have no idea.
I dunno mate im going to have to have a look tomorrow.
Im going to pop into my local Mazda dealer and see whats going on.
Failing that the closest Specialist is south of manchester.
There seems to be a big hole in scotland for these. Anyone want to start a business? lol
What are the problems you\'ve got? There are millions of issues that a compression test won\'t help diagnose.
Just the water leak it has. Its using water which means i cant travel far or very long.
Other than that i cant tell theres anything wrong. It runs well and has no banging or knocks of any kind.
Well just been to my local Mazda Dealer. I was told they dont have the equipment to test the Rx7 unless the ports are the same size as the Rx8. Which is an improvement as at first they just denied they could do it.
Does anyone know if the ports are the same size? I know they probs are but id like to get confirmation before i take her in.
is it a big water leak or just a small bit over days
i can only get about 40 miles before the buzzer goes off.

They can use their rotary specific tester for any rotary engine, Sounds like they know :censored::censored::censored::censored: all about rotarys. They prob have piston engine testers like around my way lmao.
keith.
is that a rusty colour around your filler neck, could be you need a new cap.
keith
2nd new caps and check all pipe and there is a metal pipe that runs behind the turbos that tends to split if your still on twins

Jesus H Christ, that\'s Mazda main dealers all over! Do NOT take an RX7 anywhere near them matey!!
Trust me i dont intend on going near them.....not after that answer they gave me. Funny thing was they had a Rotor behind them on a shelf with a clock in the middle....Guess they probs dont even know what that is lol
Yeah its a little rusty around the neck so ill try new caps.
Ill check all pipe work near the rad and turbos too. Cheers guys ill let you know what i find.
