Rx8 engine in seven

Hi all wankel / rotary heads

I joined this forum since i took on the adventure to build an seven with a 13B renesis engine in it.

I bought an UK car as Donor and have mounted the engine in the seven.

For the last hurdle to victory i will try to open a new thread about it.

Regards,

Walter

Ow sorry, i ment lotus super seven.

I simply call them seven's not realising that over here there are even more seven's .

My current symptom is that the Rx8 doesn't pull beyond 5500 rpm in third, and hesitates in lower gears to climb beyond.

- new D585 coils, wires, plugs;
- rebuild engine;
- UK 2004 231bhp, 6 port;
- OMP verified working (with forscan, you can see the actual position and the switch toggling on start-up;
- I only had room to place an K&N cone onto the MAF tube;

Suspecting:

- I reused an old fuel pump; perhaps to small, but the rev limit looks like a very nice limit...

- I coudn't use the DSC/ABS unit. So i need to make the messages myself.
Perhaps someone can give me the "valid" "known good" canbus messages for:

- Clutch switch, it isn't connected yet, but i didn't get the error yet

- Speed limit in the MCU?!?

- Is it possible that traction control is activated?and limiting power?? would be nice to get valid canbus messages for:

Id:
- 4C0
- 212 (dash status??
- 204

All above ID's are from DSC/ABS unit.

No DTC's present.

p.s. : I cant create a thread in Tech Series 1, wy?

What kind? I hope it's an HJS cat. Most cheap stuff won't last.

Did you use the legit D585s? Or the Chinabay D585?

To check if its ignition. Either buy a HEI coil ignition tester to verify proper spark, or at very least, put a timing gun lead on both of your leading spark plug wires and make sure you are getting a nice steady flash.
