I absolutely love your auto videos, your mustang stuff and and your sons RX7. The way you explain things and also how you have “I don’t know if this is perfect” mentality “but I’ll strive for it.”.It’s awesome to watch. I hope that you make this a regular gig / project…..even though I’m sure you kill it in your career and don’t need anything from RUclips. Guys like me benefit from your content. Cheers
That was definitely an insanity-inducing moment. The irony of it all is that I have now removed all of those wires and replaced them as part of an ECU upgrade. Check out that video for more wiring insanity. :) Thanks for tuning in!
Glad you landed here. Thanks for the view, the sub, and the comment. And now you've piqued my curiosity - can you tell me how you got here "by accident?" Cause I'm definitely a RUclips Noob, and I have no idea what that means.
@@some-guys-garage basically this video showed up while i was watching some video about fd rx7. So i just clicked it. RUclips for some reason now shows me more of underrated videos which are good quality but don't have views that they deserve.
Bro, you're makin' me sad. It's definitely an acquired taste. For the record, I was not highly supportive in the beginning. It took a while to grow on me. Good luck with it!
@someguyzgarage Man, my dad wasn't even there for me getting my license. You're there for your son, that's more than many can say. Keep supporting him as long as you can! You got this!
I love your journey so far with this. What book are you using? Do you have any websites you use as your "Go To" for the information. I am going to be purchasing a RX 7 FC soon and would really love to have half the knowledge you seem to poses here.
Thanks, man. It has been quite a journey. The book I'm referencing is the factory service manual. I found it on eBay. I wouldn't say the book is necessary because you can probably find all of the diagrams online, but I will say I have found the book to be worth every penny. I reference it regularly, and sometimes I find things in it that I wouldn't have ever thought to look for. For me, the most commonly referenced website is probably www.rx7club.com. But when I search for information I generally search far and wide. I'll take whatever information I can find when I'm trying to solve a problem. Good luck with your future project!
I think you're right. I have been thinking that I want everything to be stable before I introduce brain surgery, but maybe I'm thinking about it wrong. Thanks for the input!
What do you know about the LINK ecu? Seems to me that the little AtomX would do the job nicely, but I don't want to end up wishing I had something that's not part of the base ecu. AtomX seems to have sufficient inputs and outputs. The open questions in my mind are: 1) Trailing coils. It looks like these will need to be replaced with independent coils to eliminate the "toggle" signal. 2) TPS. The range of motion on the stock TPS is less than half of the throttle travel. What's the best way to solve that problem? 3) BAC. Does the standalone idle control work with the rotary's BAC device? I don't see how to set that up.
@@some-guys-garage I have Mansoon link ecu. Works great. If you staying non turbo then atomx is great choice. It will get rid of most of your stock sensors.
The gauges weren't done all at once, so they're spread across a couple of vids: ruclips.net/video/LvPUB-IG5Vo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/qbUDgLY7_4U/видео.html
Iv heard of another jerry rigged car that ran well with low impedence NA inj on a s5 t2 high impedence from the forums for years. All good idle etc. Main thing is I thi k the archaic ecu has its fuel maps and thats it it wont deviate no matter what unless you run the also antiquated chipped Rteks.
Yes its common to have pressure leaks at those specific spots you mentioned. New gaskets are the best way to solve that problem although at the throttle body I did use silicone like you alongside that small rubber piece.
I would actually like to put it back to the stock color (blue). I don't know if I can even find that color paint anymore, but I saw something that says the blue is one of the rarest colors for the RX7 FC. I generally like white, but there are too many white ones, and white can be a little drab. In the end, that will probably be left up to Bryson.

Wow. That's the nicest, most encouraging thing I've ever heard on here. Thank you!
That's a lot of wiring headaches. Nice to see you got it all figured out. That would have drove me nuts.
That was definitely an insanity-inducing moment.

Love these jdm restoration type videos :D
Thanks for the comment. That kind of feedback keeps me going.
BAC is a must for a steady idle.
LOL. Funny you should mention that. The BAC is disabled. I just started looking into that thing yesterday. More on that in the next vid.
I'll sub as long as you keep bringing rx7 content.
Deal! Stay tuned. Big project right around the corner.
Your a great father and great work on the car
Thank you.
Amazing work. That’s one amazing gift for your son.
Thanks, man. We're excited!
I am so jealous of this interior omg, looks great!
Thanks, man. I kinda like it, too. :)
i got here by accident and i think im gonna stay here longer. Great vid 👍

Makin me wish i had a dad as supportive of my Rotary as you 😭😭

IMO a standalone would of solved a lot of issue your had and will have soon using OEM ecu.
Love interior, Great video.

@@some-guys-garage yes I still have my BAC and stock tps with my link ecu.
@@TonyRx7 This is a turbo, but I don't see what the Monsoon offers over the AtomX, even for a turbo. Can you enlighten me?
do you have a video on how you did the gauges????

@@some-guys-garage your the best thank you!!
What a car! What a dad! incredible
Thank you.
I smacked that like button so hard its cheeks gonna be raw for weeks! Great vid!
Thanks, bro. I mean... Thanks son!
Initial D...the Japanese graphic novel? (I had to google it; first result that appeared.)
You must be in my generation. Ask your kids. :) Yes - the Japanese anime series. A white Mazda RX7 FC is kind of the star of the show.
Iv heard of another jerry rigged car that ran well with low impedence NA inj on a s5 t2 high impedence from the forums for years. All good idle etc. Main thing is I thi k the archaic ecu has its fuel maps and thats it it wont deviate no matter what unless you run the also antiquated chipped Rteks.

Well, that's good to hear. I was wondering about whether the ecu could handle the heavy draw, too.
that interior dont even look like the same car!
Thanks. I'm super happy with it!
Please paint the car a factory colour
Nah, paint it black with flames on it 🔥😈
I would actually like to put it back to the stock color (blue).

Ha, ha. Funny guy!
