Quote from: BrettHope that helps, also, if you do a search for threads in this section started by me, looking around April time last year you can follow the build etc.

:wave

When are you going to do the new build then Dubber?

Yep - I had overboost issues as well, and that\'s without an FCD. Jap tuned ECU did the business for me too (also has FCD built in). Leads me to believe that with a pair 0f 800cc injectors for secondaries, and a boost controller, I should be pretty much there. Water Injection going on to keep it all cool.

Engine now running for 21 months, 19000 miles and still pulls like a loco. :bandit :3gears-lh

Will compression test before any goodies go on.

So not tempted you yet Dubber ? :Thumbs-up :driving

haha!

well ive found a doner car.......which i will probably break. Body is a bit beaten up and its missing some glass.

Engine doesnt run but i figured i\'d be rebuilding asnyway and for the price im gettin for breaking the car, it would basically come as free....

Its been rebuilt before, is it normally OK to rebuild a second time?

and a third, fourth - etc..

Just replace all the seals (rubber and metal ones), and housings and rotors should they need it. Also good idea to replace hoses, as they can get knackered during engine changes !! :Hammer :Hammer

dubber91 · June 22, 2006, 07:31:38 PM

dude....
i need a favour.....

That a frame you got...any way of me getting it without you being here?

Steve

I take it you mean my van!? unfortunately not im afraid! Not unless you want to fly over here and get the keys off me!! If youd told me earlier id have left you the keys to the van and shown you how to operate it all (it requires a certain knack to get the hydarluic ram to work properly...loose connection)....alas its all irrelevant as i cant! I can help you when i get back but thats still 10 days at the minimum!

On a side note...small world it is....i met another guy from mrc on the plane to florida|! he was sitting right next to me!!!

Jit · June 23, 2006, 12:45:07 AM

actually steve, dyou reckon you could do me a favour...ive tried email bvut dyou reckon you could bell tim at rxmotors and find out how much he charges for a rebuild kit consisting of all seals, springs and gaskets, o-rings (internal and engine install gasket) kits? And email me the response at my uni email? j.mistry@herts.ac.uk
Just trying to weigh up whether its cheaper to buy bits from here and also the trade off as a lot of the bits are not standard mazda items like the o-rings are made from different stuff and the apex seals are diff etc!
Nice one!! Cheers
