don't get your hopes up about smog - it will never pass

never.
rotaries simply dont pass. we have normal girls, and dudes sign on to VR asking how to pass smog on the daily. too bad we ourselves dont know. lol

the ideal stock setup is s5 turbo, ported wastegate.

the ideal stock setup is one that work work reliably and take abuse from the factory

this is where you're correct. like i said, when i bought my current TII car, its withheld atleast 300-400pulls, redlines, plus me advancing timing, no wideband stock injectors, and 3"DP/straight exhaust. all with only a fuel cut defender and the stock fuel cut rev limiting ECU (why i never hit rev limit, and always have to gay modulate throttle)
it's when you get kids throwing them in NA's without the factory sensors and beating on them, they just cant tolerate it.

if the motor is legit, it usually never fails due to it itself. its always either a map sensor, tps, afm, or some other dumb sensor shitting out and causing the ecu to get fraudulent codes. one reason why i really need to invest in a standalone.

joe i swear to god if you drive your car on that NA ecu again you'll end that motor. all it takes is one pull, and its done.... come to chris's and borrow a turbo one or buy one. s4/s5, is all the same just about and will work. as soon as your 326/327 ecu sees boost its cutting all fuel unless you tie in a few check valves before the map sensor. trust me dude its no fun, just wait another day and have it right. but if you blow it we're here for you. just hit up chris.

chris already told me he didnt have any S5 N370's, said there rare. my S4 TII ecu wont work either. i really dont know why. i might have found a N370 for super cheap so ill let ya know

Hey did you sell the "street ported" motorset you had to my friend Chris, was it the one that came out of this car?

[itschrisfoo]

so thats what you sold me. a toasted motor right? well ima need my money back. you said it it was street ported and no its not. you said it had good compression, but on here your saying its a toasted motor. im not some stupid little kid. ive been in the rotary game for a few years now to know what the fucks up. now if you wouldve answered my calls or at least call back i wouldve been fine with workin out some sorta deal. like you take your motor back, and give me back 100 and i keep the tranny. so basically its like im jus buying the trany

you've been PM'ed, lets not ruin a thread now

[backalleyracer]

S5 TII ecu's are expensive, expect to pay around $100 + for one

I have seen them sell for $200 all day

[My LS hates me]

Keep it in the pms gentlemen.

Any new updates on the build.

[afishysilvia]

Updates so far -

-we decided to hardwire the fuel pump with a relay. I'll post pictures soon
-of course the oil cooler lines are leaking, I heard all hose will reman them for a good price and does a nice job so I'll let people know how that goes
-powersteering pump connector was snipped so it's just running basic ps. ( not hi/low speed)
-got some federals on the front along with the rim I ordered
-sourced out a N370 from a guy online for a good price so waiting on that in the mail.
-still trying to find a turbo air flow meter
-waiting on exhaust gaskets to get the leaks out

I'll post pictures soon here

[afishysilvia]

okay minor picture updates


(this is the relay for the fuel pump, bad picture)


(fuseable link for the fuel pump)

Motor as she sits now



And car currently (still waiting to paint the hood lol)

[drifter240sx]

like the rx-7 in the hood

[afishysilvia]

Updates so far

-picked up a N370 S5 turbo 2 AFM from chris
-got some new oil cooler lines from chris and they don't leak bad.  Yay ha
-also picked up 2 s4 gray door panels from chris
-the dude whobi ordered my N370 ecu from flakes out so I just ordered a knightsport chip for the N374 ecu I have. Hear good things about them, it's just a standard base tune for now to get me by.

[driftfcbuckey]

what was your issue with the under dash relay for the fuel pump??
not trying to be a dick, just asking.

make sure your wiring is all legit, and secured. last thing you need is shit coming undone, or items in your hatch ripping your wiring apart, and cutting fuel while you boost.

(never drift with a harbor freight jack in your car. you will shit your pants when it shuts off)

Updates -
Its convenient how once i have a paypal dispute this dude and him selling me the N370 and now he ships it.
SO basically i have now -

1. N370 ECU ill be using once it arrives
2. N374 w/ Knightsport chip that fixed it (base map is on there, super close to the stock map)

Fucking people.....lol....atleast i know i have a back up ECU i suppose

[s13yaobling]

looking good joe. good progress. hope you  get it all running soon.

[afishysilvia]

got my damn ecu today.....mother fucker didnt work. reported his ass on paypal, hopefully he'll get the point. guess i still have my knightsport chip.
