Coldnt get coolant to go round the system now chugging and blue smoke + spitting oil
Ive goosed my engine havnt i?
 
temps stayed at half but no heat throuigh the heaters,think it was cos of the coolant flush i used truning to concrete

leon

can you be a little more descriptive mate? where is it chucking oil? and does the car start up easy? and actualy sound like its running on both rotors?
I woof in your general direction.

DR SCHNITZEL

Sure leon ill clarify. after numberous attempts to burp the system, the car the day after when started looked and sounded like my othe rrx with  blown tip and yes its very hard to start. teh smoek isnt mega thick but at idle its spitting a mist of oil over my neighbours metro parked 2 feet away. when i was burping the system and when first starting the auto choke rev thingy, only lasted about 30 seconds before it dropped and temps went to half way, with no heat coming from the heaters or through any pipes. the stuff i put in to flush the filthy coolant, set like concrete in the bowl i put it in to mix, i think it can only be this. cant believe i fixed the turbos too only to realise ive shagged the engine and now i have 2 wrecked rx7s on the drive. got offered 2k for em both lol, i can get a grand for the alloys, bonnet and ecu easily alone. some people do like thier money.

leon

sombodys having a laugh at that price! the coolant stuff sounds like the rad weld gear where it will set off and go solid when exposed to the air (shouldnt actualy go solid in your coolant system as its a sealed unit only going solid and blocking a leak if any)

You saying you fixed the turbo\'s what have you been doing to the car prior to this? somthing may have gone loose or given way or as you fear it may have thrown a tip
I woof in your general direction.

Well it worked soung until it ran a while, what would come adrift to make it smoke and spit oil out?? it was coolant flush, but was a mad powder mixture, i took the uim off and replaced 2 crushed pipes cos the 2nd wasnt working, it solved it, i only got the car for the engine, now its gone, im getting offers of 1k all the time lol people like thier money on here dont they. i can sell these of for 4500 no problem, more like 5500
 
how much is a rebuild? im getting sick of these stupid offers, between the 2 cars i have an awsome rx. im prob going to pull em off the ads, everyone wants something for free, might just credit card a single tub and new engine, unless i get some decent offers

rx7veilside

broken rx7 are only worth about 2k as engine rebuild by a good tuner is around the 3k plus mark sorry to hear of ur probs but unless u want the hassle of breaking them for spares and disposing of the shell then broken rx7s dont go for 4500

nikp

Have you got a boost gauge attached to it? If so, how does that behave when the car does run?

DR SCHNITZEL

i have 2 rx7s if i break them im sure ill get 4000 for breaking them all and all the good stuff too, too, which im going to do slowly over the next few weeks.
 
no boost guage but its behaving liek my black one when that blew a tip ill comp test it soon anyways,
