Any Info Advice Would Be Much Appreciated Before Buying My First RX

[markpbla]

They\'ll be able to diagnose any issues fairly fast and should be able to let you know how much to get it working sweetly. Good luck!

thanks mate

I thought a De-cat on a Standard ECU was bad news - esp if the boost has been turned up.
 
Something is wrong here personally, why would someone spend that much on a proper rebuild and not have it remapped for the correct upgrades.

But on the other hand, if the compression is right then £3k plus a remap is a bargain!

Yeah, thats not a good idea.

It might have been his intention to get it mapped, but sometimes finances dont work out like you planned. Sound like he ran into trouble  just after the rebuild. This could also be why the car wasnt driven.

I agree with you. It seems some on here want to buy a perfect RX-7 for 3K ?

If there is no sign of detonation or coolant leak, and good compression, then buying it for 3K, and spending maybe another 1K to get everything sorted seems worth it.

Hello All Just got back from reworx and big smiles all round.
 
turned out that someone had tampered with the electronic boost controller hence it not running properly and the second turbo lagging as it was all messed up.
 
compression test results were all well over 8
 
and was running 240bhp at boost cut at 6000rpm before all was sorted.
 
so with a bit of thought i think its a good deal and am going to take it off his hands over the weekend then try and get it up to scratch.
 
one question though,will remapping it be worth it as its only on a stock ecu or would it be worth running it as it is and saving up and buying a uprated one?

nice find then,glad got high compression readings - go for power fc ecu then remap until done be a careful driver :Thumbsup!

Congratulations, Mark, it sounds like a bargain to me.

We cant map the standard ecu anyway. If you\'re running standard boost, then there is not muach point in upgrading the ecu, except that we can actually map it.
