I have recently purchased my absolute dream car! A Mazda RX-7 FC3S Turbo 2... For the past 3 months I have been working away on fixing this thing up to bring it back on the street after it has been sitting for over 14 years!
We've already accomplished so much during the 3 months and today we are getting one step closer to finishing this baby!
Today The RX-7 is getting a bunch of upgrades including a new radiator aswell as a full exhaust from JapSpeed :)

This was definetly a step into the right direction! Getting some miscellanious stuff out of the way never hurts😅 Make sure to stick along and subscribe to stay updated :) Enjoy!
I really like how bro is literally living my dream, He has his own RX7, he has his own workshop, he has his own tools and a lot of knowledge!
Sadly i live on small polish village and i dont think i'll ever be able to get an RX7 but im still happy to watch other people enjoy it! Thanks for great videos
Thanks for the support man! :) Never say never! For me everything started out very slow aswell... Working on my 2001 Passat in my driveway at home a few years ago. But things will change man and I hope you can also get your dream car soon!
@@moritzherr Thanks! Appreciate that, good luck while building the rx7
@@burgerowy8606 Thanks man :) I've made a video before showing how you can get your dream car literally 6x cheaper. I'd recommend you go watch that because it really works🙏 That's how I went from a 1.700€ Passat to a R32 Skyline within 6 Months :)
@@moritzherr Thanks! I'm gonna watch it soon :)
These videos are improving rapidly! I really hope the algorithm picks you up soon because you certainly deserve for subscribers.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the support 🙏
Next episode 🙏👍
Nice progress! With that aftermarket exhaust, it will cause the boost to go past stock levels. The stock ECU has a fuel cutoff at about 9psi of boost and it cuts fuel to the rear rotor. This is probably the #1 reason why people blow their motors on the FC TII. Detonation on a rotary is much more dangerous than a normal piston engine. It will destroy the apex seals very quickly. To get around the boost spike issue, you will need to port the wastegate hole behind the flapper valve on the turbine housing. I did this on my TII as I have larger downpipe, free flow cat and HKS exhaust. I don't have any boost spikes. Took me about 20 mins to port the hole larger. It is easy to do when the engine isn't in the car. Also, I have the same clutch and flywheel you put on. It was a pain to bleed. You will need to adjust the pedal stroke with the adjustment linkage on the pedal to achieve correct stroke / engagement of the clutch. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice :) I already knew about that issue with the wastegate port being to small on S4's which is why I have taken some precautions to avoid the fuel cut issue. First I went for soft steel apex seals which are going to bend instead of shatter in an event of detonation (Of course I'm not going to let detonation happen willingly but IF detonation occurs, at least the engine is not wrecked). Second I'm going for a fuel cut defender and third an adjustable FPR with slightly bigger secondary injectors.
Currently I am still running 4x 550cc as stock, as I temporarily have the stock turbo installed. But since I am switching to a bigger one with an external wastegate, I won't have to worry about the wastegate being to small anymore :) Just need to dial the fueling in then
just noticed the Kim Jong Un poster XD cool exhaust btw
Thanks man!😂
If you get a spray bottle, you can get a tube that fits between the spray part, and the slave cylinder. You can pump it like a vacuum bleeder and pull fluid through the system. That way you don’t have to pump up the system with the pedal.
Also since I don’t think you bench bled the system using a vacuum method is the best way to get all the air out.
This project is so cool man. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it every time you drive.
Edit: is that KJU on your live laugh love poster??????
Thanks man that's actually great advice, I will try that! :)
And yes you're right😂 I think everybody needs KJU in their shop telling them to live laugh love...
@@moritzherr which Korea are you going to? Should we be worried?
@@mrs_radrod Hahah no need to worry!😂 Going to South Korea, KJU is not impressed tho...
That exhaust looks so much better, the build is really starting to look good👌
Thanks man! :) Yeah I also think the exhaust really transforms the rear🙏
love the caption
You deserve more subs, keep it up. You will one time do this as a full time job with this style of content.
Thank you for your support mate!🙏 Really appreciate it. That is my goal which I hope to reach one day😅
watching all of them the day they come out, loving it!
Thanks for the support bro! 🙏
Since i came across your vid on removing the 13b I liked it and I started watching from the beginning keep up the good work.
I am guessing that the exhaust is from racing beat.
Thanks for the support man, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!🙏
The exhaust is actually a JapSpeed :) Has one on my R32 Skyline back then and the sound was amazing, that's why I decided to run one on the FC aswell.
@@moritzherrwow very interesting 😮
Banger vid man! You are living the dream. If you dont mind me asking what do you work as to be able to support this hobby?
Thanks man, glad you're enjoying it :) Honestly currently I'm supporting this projects and my hobby purely through savings... I really want to turn creating content like this into my job someday so esch day I'm just working towards that goal✌️
Get this man more subscribers
Thanks for the Support man🙏🙏
love the series, keep up the good work
Thank you mate, glad you're enjoying it so far✌️
Good joob bro keep up the amazing content dude
Thanks man! :)
cool video !
Yerrrrr
great video!
have you thought about bridge porting (or other kind) your fc?
keep up the good videos !
I was thinking about doing a Half/Half bridge port to get some nice braps but keep the driveability. Sadly I had to decide against it because shipping of the porting templates would have taken too long and I was on a tight schedule :(
Somebody about to so upset cause you cut the factory rubber exhaust hangers. (I don't care but I'm sure somebody will)
AM STAAAAAAAART!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Jawolloo!😍
Sehr sehr geil!
Was für ein Auspuff ist das?
Krigst du den eingetragen?
Der Auspuff ist eine Komplettanlage von JapSpeed ab Turbo :)
Per Einzelabnahme sollte das kein Problem sein, da ich den Kat drin lasse, bzw. wahrscheinlich einen neuen einbaue, da mein alter gut durchgerostet ist...
What exhaust did you purchase im looking for one for my FC
It's a JapSpeed full exhaust (Downpipe to muffler)
They usually sound great so I'm curious to find out how it will sound on the FC :)
herr moritz i just bought one here in new york if you wanted we could meet and shoot some footage once mine is also done
Congrats on the FC! :) Sure I'd love to, the only problem being that I'm from Germany and I've never been to the US😂
@callmemo77 well maybe someday we will meet. I also have a car channel, Rebuild Media.
