with the omp delete it is important that you run ignition cut in your tune when off throttle so the premix gets into the rotor when off throttle instead of the usual fuel cut plus you get sick flames so thats a bonus

I inherited my FD and sent it to a specialty shop for restoration. They pulled the motor and sent it to another shop for rebuild. Once they got the money for the motor, it sat on their floor and the car sat outside for a year until I repo’d the car from them. I got everything back in those exact black/yellow bins and I have no idea what’s/what. I appreciate seeing you just go at it and figure it out. i’ve been overwhelmed and haven’t even begun to make sense of the pile but this is motivating. Thanks!
Yep, since ya did the half bridge which requires slightly higher RPM to maintain smooth idle and therefore more fuel/air... plenty of heat can be generated. Make sure the turbo and exhaust is well stabilized and sheilded (plenty of options, some can be used in tandem for better effect i.e. Wrap + shield near firewall and footwell to reduce cabin temp and paint discolorations), they WILL move around when you've been allowing the BTU to build up. Lots of rotary owners develop manifold leaks because of the BTU and vibrations. Also helps to have firm motor mounts (not solid per se, just firm)
Guess I'll be swapping mounts soon 😅 Everything will be cerakoted + sheikded where possible to try and keep Temps down as much as possible. Might add EGT into the stand alone to watch Temps
And this goes here and that goes there and this, i dont know.... DELETE IT!!!! Loving your enthusiasm for something new and very unique. Good to see you happy again brother. 😊
The last rotary I built I polished the rotor housings and painted the irons black with engine enamel. The upper and lower intake I used engine enamel on the primary surfaces, and masked the polished details.
@@Smeedia Yeah, this one is my personal one, but I've got a few floating around built for friends, a yellow jacket theme yellow/black/polished, and red/white/blue 20b, and a ford blue ironed/polished alum 13b
I can completely understand how this car got where you found it. Everyone else prolly threw hands up n said FA-GET-IT at this point 😂 You have amazing perseverance, not everyone has that. 🙌🙌
Dry ice blast! Dry ice blast! Everything looks great after dry ice blasting. Clean the intake with that maybe? Darn spoke too early out too late. Polishing will look good too! Fun project!
The hoist Rx7 tip. You have to unbolt your upper arm from the hoist and slide forward a few more inches to gain the reach. I do this all the time because the weight of the engjne keeps the arm wedged in the sleeve and from sliding out on the install. Now of course, I wouldn't do that on really heavy engines as the hoist could tip over. Not with a lighter rotary.
@@Smeedia yes that is called the corner assist peice. You can tell if it's jumped out because the motor will take more than 15ft/lbs to spin over with no spark plugs in it
They pop out of place if not glued while putting the center/rear iron on and place extreme pressure on one part of it which will gouge the housings, I've done it before
Where the upper manifold bolts to the Lower there were hairline cracks lengthwise through the mating surface. It might have been how it was treated or it might have been a fault in the casting I was not sure how they got there.
Nice, an upload on my bday. Unfortunately I had to cancel on WBM because I fucked up my foot yesterday and can't walk. Nothing like being reminded how old you are with a nice injury.
@@Smeedia Stupid shit. My friend & I were breaking some old planks of wood prepping for a fire I was having. I jumped on one plank but the impact with my heel was something else. I had done pretty much the same thing to my other foot a few years ago but I remember that one being worse.
Angel motorsports where you been haha.. Sweeeet to see it coming together, loving the editing you always kill it in every aspect. Keep up the good work!! ✌️
I think most folk that mess with rotaries hoist them in over the fender, if I'm remembering correctly, that event happened several years ago when the cars where much newer. I vaguely remember seeing a guy hoist one over the passenger front fender and then wiggle the hoist side to side with his foot to seat the motor to the trans. Not positive since I've slept quite a few nights between then and now, but I believe that was the pro tip for install on those. Take it with whatever sized grain of salt you like, hope the info helps someone, possibly you. ;)
Amazing progress Tanner,wow this is a journey. NAPA sells MAC aluminum brighter/cleaner. It works really well for the polished aluminum look. Keep up the progress man.
@@Smeedia my first time being there, i was amazed how many different ways people have modified their cars. No big turbo H6 so I’m hoping you’ll be there next year👀
If you're using the stock FD starter, I'd recommend an upgrade to an RX-8 one. Stock is 1.2kW and RX-8 is 2kW. Makes my FD start way easier with the extra rpm. You can buy one for like $90 and swap the components yourself, or banzi sells a completed starter for $230 with core charge.
@@Smeedia Pretty sure my alternator is stock. Quick search online there looks to be higher output ones if you want to get a little extra but I'm going to guess it's probably not needed.
I'm sure you have, but if not, go watch some of the stuff the Vargas Brothers have done fabrication wise. He's doing a crazy header right now in his garage that's pretty wild. But I'm sure if you're mind is as build oriented as mine when you see the way they do some stuff you'll get all sorts of ideas pop in your head for heat dissipation and protection etc. Good luck!
11:29 at this moment I knew your hoist wasn’t long enough. I have the same one and I had to drill a hole on mine to give it that extra length you desperately need on Rx7’s. My best idea considering the amount my hoist has taken rx7 engines in and out. Oof
90% of those parts are cast aluminum.. so what I would do is take an evening with a file, sandpaper, etc and break all the casting flash, hard edges, etc... then glass bead them. They will look better than new, and wont suck to work on the engine anymore because of no sharp flash or hard edges. Then cerakote everything that needs it... Polish what you want, paint what you want... but the base parts themselves need that cleanup and glass blasting to be really nice.
Spent a couple hours last night with a die grinder and some Scotch Brite wheels to clean em up a bit. Have some more to do but glass bead would be the ideal way 👀
Yes, basically every seal in a rotary engine is directional. Basically. Pack generously with vasoline. Fortunately other than the giant ass nut and re-torqueing it's a quickly built engine!
Edit: spoke too soon. I see you have the Petit racing AST already! Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but if you still have the stock plastic AST, look into either an upgraded aluminum one, or an AST delete. For the cooling system.
Did you check your end plays?? I cant remember if you did that in the previous videos and just didn't show in this one because you had everything checked previously, but thought I would mention it just in case.
@@Smeedia LMAO! By the way, my Delicious tuning was done successfully. ButT dyno says 450 HP to the wheels at 22 psi on E-85. It's crazy fast for a 20G.
@@Smeedia Bah-hahaaha! You remind me of a guy I used to work with, took notes on *everything* only problem he never ever opened up his notebook afterwards LOL!!!
Okay finally watched the other video. You said it’s a car you wanted for a while (same here). You also said the car is failing it’s clear coat, I get it. My opinion the car has a lot of spots that will rust bad in the future ( some I saw already on your video). Trust me repaint the whole car and clear coat it will save it for another 20-30 years. It’ll be well spent money later. You don’t wanna do it give me a shout after you wanna get rid of her. I’ll do it right.
It's going to get a full respray. That'll probably happen down the line once I have funds set aside for a good paint job. So I'll probably wrap it for a few months or so
Lots of room for activities in that engine bay... since you have a stand alone ECU, any thought into adding a 3rd rotor in the distant future? Love the RX-7!
For the time being I'm still using cable throttle, first goal is to just get it running with this set up and then start making more modern changes like that 🫡
@@Smeedia nah, vapor blasting is a water/media mix that makes aluminum parts look amazing. It’s gotten really popular on dirt bike builds in the past few years. Google it, it’s a good way to make aluminum parts look really good, without the PITA of polishing 😅

You are 100% correct. Do as much heat management as possible. Every little bit helps brother. Haltech can do all the stuff you were wondering about.
Thr haltech harness? That's the one I'm curious about since it looks like it dosent plug into the body harness but I could be wrong 😅
The hoist Rx7 tip. You have to unbolt your upper arm from the hoist and slide forward a few more inches to gain the reach. I do this all the time because the weight of the engjne keeps the arm wedged in the sleeve and from sliding out on the install. Now of course, I wouldn't do that on really heavy engines as the hoist could tip over. Not with a lighter rotary.
I was super tempted to do this but was a little worried of the arm slipping out, May drill a new hole on the hoist to extend it out a little bit 😅
Learned after about 3 engine pulls it’s so much easier to just pull it and install it with the transmission and swing it onto the engine mount studs
It really comes down to the time sink for the manifold choice. The intake will look good either way, but that's a lot of polishing.
Sending it with the polishing 😅 it'll be worth it 🔥
Also would highly recommend gluing the Apex seal corners because if they pop up it's KO for the motor
Are you talking about the little triangle part? 👀
@@Smeedia yes that is called the corner assist peice. You can tell if it's jumped out because the motor will take more than 15ft/lbs to spin over with no spark plugs in it

Those arent OEM coolant jackets lol
No they are not 😅 thought they were when I ordered them but figured I have em, might as well use em lol
Thank you for not putting a LS in that RX-7, a LS'ed RX-7 is just a japanese C5 Corvette and then at that point just get a a C5 Corvette.
Thank you!!!! They look so close to a C5!
I know i'm an idiot but why do you use Vaseline?
It's petroleum based so it dissolves into oil. It's also THICK so it helps promote oil pressure on first starts 🫡
@Smeedia thank you my good sir 🙏
Damn Bro, Ya think your turbo is big enough? Lol That thing is fucking HUUUGE! well compared to the size of the Rotary
It's really not that big 😅 the engine is just small 😅
I friggin hate LS swapped FD's, it's complete heresy.
