hey there,,
 
rite guys my rx7 did somethin really strange the other day.. i put my foot down on second gear up to 7k and the it was running on one rotor i think, next day i did the copression test with the mazda digital tester, and the frond rotor showed, 265 rpm . 07.5, 07.6, 07.8 and rear 85 RPM 0.00 0.00 0.00 ( HOW THATS POSIBLE?) any ideas wat mite be? i hope is not the engine.. thanks,,

Any other symptoms mate, losing water etc?

rotary_rx4

hey mate thanks for the reply,
 
no smoke no water leak, still starts,but sound really diffrend, i m not 100 % but i think its running on 1 rotor, but i cant be sure cuz i never seen another one how is sound wen is on 1 rotor so i cant realy say.

rotary_rx4

no loosin water i ment* sorry

Does it sound like a tractor on idle? with those compression ratings it looks like you have blown a rotor

rotary_rx4

yes mate is sound like a tractor,, but how is possible the frond reads 265 rpm and the rear 85? does the rpm change by compression?

R1Dude

Rpm will be the same, if you got no compression on all three it sounds to me like more than 1 tip has gone, side seal etc, i,e blown engine, sorry dude

R1Dude

Thinking about it I have never used a compression tester so don`t know the characteristics wether it would allow an engine to spin faster with no compression or not

rotary_rx4

No worries mate i will build new one with ports :) gd thing i can do the rebuild my self :)
btw i only had it mapped on wed from pip and sunday blown up!

I m still on twins but i vgot frond mount inte, apexi filters. I had the atkins seals in the engine , pfc it was canny stantard,but now i will do much more and i hope it last lang

R1Dude

Atkins seals, so its already been rebuild?

rotary_rx4

Yes 3000 miles ago and wen pip checked me compression on wed was really good,
  So i was suprised that it blown up and i had it on the low setting i never had the channce to try my fast setting

m1tch

Perhaps check if its under warentee, what fuel were you running? did you have a decat?

rotary_rx4

Yes i forgot to mention that downpipe and de cat pipe aswell emm bout fuel i dont know to be honest i aint got fuel pump. U think i run lean?
