I am going back to the shop today to talk everything over and hope to god somehting can happen quickly and painlessly. I will see if they have each and every dyno run saved. Wish me luck everyone, I think I'm gonna need it.

 

Since it's Halloween, you should dress up as a street walker. That way, if they try to f&*k you, you will feel like you had it coming. Best of luck. It might turn out alright after all.

 

Wow...I'd be curious to know how you decided to go with these guys? Was it word of mouth, etc...that pointed you in their direction?

Hopefully things work out for you.

 

dude i can completely feel your pain i just bought my car and it took a crap on itself 2hrs from home and i had to wait 7 for a tow home but its back in stock trim and i'm lovin it well cept for break in (snore) but i def hope things work out for you hopefully you get a good gas saving rental like i did (reccomend a 2005 camry for older folks and buisness people 80mph for like an hour and a half and still got 26mpg)

 

lol, thanks but I'm driving my bros 04 accord now, 4cyl, so good gas saver. Anyway, i went back today and they shoved the same poop down my throat as they did previously. I called another professional and told him my situation. He agrees with me that they ran it way to lean and repeatedly over boosted it. At idle the afr was 17.5. At full throttle it mostly hovered around 15-16, still very lean, especially considering it was pushed 40 times! Anyway, the guy i spoke to said that turbo rotaries should be about 13 at idle. The scariest part was when it spiked it pinned to 17.5 on many occassions while full throttle was applied, so god knows it could have really been at like 30, no telling for sure. SO the guy i spoke too has a very reputable shop here in NC, and said he had never heard of the shop i used. They can rebuild my engine, they do this all the time on all previous gens of rx7's. He also agreed with me that if the vaccum line was melted when i brought it to them, it would have died on the first run, not the 40th, especially since its a renesis and not designed to take alot of boost w/o other fuel line upgrades etc. So, I believe I am in a much better position now getting many of my beliefs confirmed by a professional. If the shop that killed my car will not help out all, then the situation gets stickier than it alrdy is.

Farva, who did you talk to? If it's Rotorsports they are the guys to talk to, but they are a little expensive but the work is good. Hey if you want to put in a different motor than the Renesis here is a good one up for sale, $300 bucks less than the cost of a Renesis plus lots more horsepower: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=476969

 

yes it was. they told me to get it there and they'll fix it up. Check out that link up above and read the 2nd post. It's a good explenation of the guy and his shop.

 

Dude, I just saw this. I'm SO sorry to hear about this. Hope you get everything straightened out ASAP.

 

Thanks alot man...well I hope the JeepKahn post can also help every1 and point them all in directions furthest from that shop.

 

wish i could find what you are trying to get out!!!! as i said i hope they have some copies of the 40+ dynos. from what it sounds like the renniss engine is durable beyond all predictions.

you may have been the turbo stress bitch, i mean that in a good way.

i will donate.


beers

 

lol, thanks alot. did u check out that post on that link by rx8-rus?

 

Car is being taken to Rotorsports Racing today. Hopefully all will go well from here, and me and my baby can be back together soon!

 

could not get it to work. pm me it if you would.

beers

 

keep us posted bro! good luck! I am starting a support group for long separations from your 8, you may want to join! I have been away from mine way tooooo long! haha! just kidding (about the support group!

 

Haha...sadly enough I would have joined. I need all the support i can get. I may actually see my car by the end of the month though. I think once the work starts it shoud move ok, but there are like 18 cars ahead of me at the shop...bummer.

 

You too, huh?

I just blew my engine, and it was overboosting for a while because the absolute idiots at ProStreet screwed up the install.

I also toasted my 1st rotor & have the R flash.

Coincidence? I think NOT !!!

 

lol. amazing what happens when idiots get paid to do **** to cars. I just can't believe how unprofessionaly the whole situation was handled. The best is when they claimed it wasn't there fault when they overboosted w/o using my gauge or boost controller, or how they aren't responsible for having a non employee lean the **** out of my car...sounds like they didn't do anything incorrectly!

 

I thought you had someone working on a new ems. Did they blow it up?

 

No, the engine blew a couple of days before I was scheduled to take it in to 'em.

 

Sorry dude! I'm sure you'll have one strong engine once Rick is done with it. I'd be interested in the costs, and time as a precautionary thing.

 

I hope we both come back better and stronger than b4!! Sapphonica and I are gonna make 110% turn arounds .

 

Good luck OfficerFarva

 

You know it, man!

 

I know my car will run better than ever since it is at rotor sports now. I need to find out if they think a rebuild or new engine would be better though.
