Got mine today. [Hattori Hanzo voice] Verrrrrrry Gooooood! [/Hattori Hanzo voice] Thanks, John! Now we'll see if this motor is ready for a supercharger

 

got mine too!

92 98 92 at 160 rpm

and

95 97 94 at 156 rpm.

how do these figures look for my rx8?

 

You must have the old starter. Is it an 04?

I got ~109 but I was cranking at 100 rpm's more than you.

 

Looks like your starter is on life support...

 

I love that movie, and you are very welcome!

I think those numbers look fantastic for that RPM!

Welcome back Mr. Beta Tester, where ya been? Think you can make it to the Houston RX Club meet next Tuesday?

 

yep, its a 2004, so i guess, my engine is okay! thank god!

 

gX1, fix or replace your starter and test again.

 

The pleasure is all mine, John. I can't tell you how nice it is to deal with a pleasant and responsive vendor; I hope we get more like you.

 

Am I too late?

 

i have one if you need to borrow it.

Anyone in the NYC metro get one of these?

 

I hope your not to late- great product - very happy with it.

 

anyone in south florida

 

So what are these going for now? I might do a bulk buy if the price is right.

 

DAMN!!! Anyone notice how cute she is??? lol

 

how do these look, the engine was only partialy warmed up it had cooled down to 150F by the time I got started, engine number 2 ^_^ first engine died at 21,311

non corrected
Rear 105 104 105 (had a weird one that showed 107 111 105 on a 3rd try so meh)
front 101 100 102 ( had issues getting it tighten so may have been leaking slightly, and the connector kepted falling off )

rpm 255

 

got around to checking mine...
Front: 103 102 103 at 288 rpm
Rear: 105 104 107 at 292 rpm

... looks like i'm barely below spec -sigh-

 

I was going to say that most Rx7 people are below spec, there is just how bad below they are.

I know of a few people that have drove around on a 60-70 psi motor, sometimes hard to start but still runs.

 

PM sent!

Well as an RX-7 guy I think those numbers look fantastic, but I know the 8's are expected to have higher numbers.

What kind of issues did you have with tightening the sensor into the sparkplug hole? With the rubber o-ring in place it should only need to be hand tightened to get a good seal. Did it feel as thought the threads were binding up?

I think they look fine.

So who's going to SevenStockXII? I'll be there and I'm donating a compression tester to the raffle! Hope to meet some of you there.

my glove is soaked in oil so i guess i was slipping trying to tighten.

 

Oh, ok. Well that makes sense. You're not the only person to have an issue with tightening the sensor though. I know the heat-shrink tubing isn't the best solution, but it's the easiest and best looking option. I love getting feedback from my customers, good or bad, it all helps.
