Also looped the steering rack

Looks good man. Did you get a new wastegate? And is that a blue gasket inbetween the UIM and LIM? Almost looks like painters tape still..

And nice Crocs, BTW haha

yeah i just put the UIM for the picture. Still have to make a fuel line for the primary rail and return line. The wastegate is a real HKS 50mm

Dropped the engine in !! Having a hard time with the engine harness because there is a couple connector that i don't know where they go to, but i'll figure it out. Hopefully shes going to be alive this week.

Also got my FD stockers today!!

sweet... does it not idle on its own yet?

VRx8 · Postby **VRx8** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:14

Yes !!!!!! it idles high though like around 3k . Also 2nd time i start it it, the RPM's were bouncing. Here is the vid http://s858.photobucket.com/albums/ab149/ecorrea88/?action=view¤t=MVI_4053.mp4

iani1.1 · Postby **iani1.1** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:14

yea 3k idle is quite high. sounds like a vacuum leak.

speedjunkie · Postby **speedjunkie** » Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:14

That would be a pretty big vacuum leak haha. And if it was anywhere after the throttle body it would be hunting for idle from almost dead to about 5k RPMs...ask me how I know LOL.

If you need help identifying connectors I'll swing by. I know quite a few of them by heart haha. But I'll post a link for you, a pic from 7club that has a pic of the harness and names every connector, if that will help.

Alright Eduardo, you gotta bring it to the meet this Friday. lol

This one has a pic in post #5, but there is another thread that has pics of all the harnesses and connectors named out. I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

Please do, txt whenever u can swing by and i'll give you my address. I know is a vacuum leak for sure cus I slapped everything together just hear the engine running. Today i'll do a little fine tuning.

Im happy as hell first rotary engine that i have rebuild, is definitely a good feeling when u hear the engine run for the first time lol

Congrats on the rebuild look like a nice an clean job done throughout the whole job. Would like to hear it once all the vacuum leaks are sorted out and you get it tuned. And as for 1000cc injectors causing loping idle its true my 7 sounds more extreme than other streetports i have heard but i love the way it sounds even though i know it is just sucking up more gas, price i pay to have a car that scares the shit out of the honda with the fart can exhaust on it.

Will do. I'll be helping Andy with his FD on Friday and possibly trying to reinstall my diffuser too. I should be able to swing by Friday sometime.

Yeah my old-style Bosch 1000c primaries did the same thing to me haha.
