my rx and my dads scooby

[dre]

Yeah he is a busy man but the right man for the job. Sounds like you got a few small faults but they shouldn\'t be too much trouble to sort out. You wanna get the turbo\'s working properly though cos it\'s no fun driving without boost!!! You will definately kill your dad\'s scooby. My brother has the last of the classic models with a prodrive upgrade running about 265bhp and i killed him in my rex running 0.8 bar of boost!!!

Hope you get everything sorted out. How long have you had the car for??

ive had it since end of January so not long, have wanted one for ages since i was at college and said i would get one once i got a full time job, before i had a 1.4i Peugeot 106 so a bit different, rx is still really quick even with just second turbo but i cant wait to get it fixed, some cars can keep up with me at the mo   always get boy racers tryin 2 race me, im sure everyone else gets the same.

Well to be honest i don\'t get alot of people trying it. I think they give up after i start pulling away!!!

 :burnout

My car before was an Escort RS turbo series 2 running 215bhp. I had more races in that than i have had in my rex and i\'ve had mine for 5 years now!!

car looks good .... like the red !
**** on the first turbo ... got to get that sorted as it is welll good with it .
I dont get anyone to race ... they all get scared !!

your problem has got me a bit confused here (really not hard too do).

If your first turbo isn;t working then surely the second won;t either. If the first turbo doesn;t reach .7 then the second turbo won;t start spooling.

I\'m concerned for you mate that you\'re running without any turno boost at all. Have you got a boost guage?


If you are runningwith no boost you are in for a very pleasant surprise when you get them up and running mate I can tell you.

That\'s for sure!  Be careful when it\'s finaly fixed sweetiewells - the car will be a different beast entirely and could well catch you out!

accordinging to ross at dragon the first one isant working but the second is, i get a boost at 4500 revs which is the second turbo, but no boost before that so i dont know, bit confued now, i did wonder why the second works without the first but i dont know a great deal about the car and how it all works, am learning thou :xconfused

[gsb876]

When i had my TT version rx7 the first turbo kickedin at 3000rpm and the second at 4500rpm so its very likely you are only getting the 2nd turbo kicking not the first ?

[chrisJDM]

thats what i thought but above someone said the second shouldnt work without the first, or maybe it is boostng but not as much as it should do, ross said it should just be a tube that has a hole in which is why the first turbo isant working, so shouldnt cost 2 much to fix, jsut gotta find the time to go down there.  Other mods im havin done are

GReddy Dump Valve
Megan Racing 3" Downpipe
Turbo Timer
Greddy Induction Kit (already fitted)

already has a aftermarket cat back exhaust, not sure of make

what should be the next mods??  i was thinkin of saving for an apexi power fc and commander
