2nd Gen Mazda Rx7 Half-Bridgeport Turbo

[zoronnn21]

What specs on rims?

[CANITORACING13B]

can you tell me what motor its come with stock its a 12a rotary right or no?

[Giliganism]

My fc has been pretty reliable apart from switches going out and a bad mop connector. I do not drive it nice either. I redline her pretty much every time I drive her.

[YouRk0ed11]

I heard these motors are like Harleys , good and fast , but they are hard to keep running , like they aren't good for your only car , i want an FC like this , but it would be my only car , to drive back and fourth to work , is this a bad idea?

[Yakovlev9U]

@YouRk0ed11 just take good car of it, add oil when needed and change oil when needed and it will be fine for a daily driver, just dont get it ported like the one in the vid if you want to have full rotary reliability, they are more fun for the sports factor but arnt the best thing for long term reliability

[cowsys1]

@YouRk0ed11

Yeah, it's a bad idea. Do what I did and buy a stock N/A and fully restore it (maybe do exhaust and intake mods) then buy a second RX-7 such as a Turbo II and pimp that shit up with all the performance mods you can imagine and take it out every Friday night. Also, don't let your friends or your dad work on your RX-7. They will likely fuck it up. My dad fucked up my clutch and my coolant seals and have to get my engine rebuilt next year.

[MrSammyswing]

Those are SportMax and they appear to be 18's

[SuRrEyAsSaSsin]

ur an asshole!! thats sick bro

[pbcrazy1]

love the wheels



[r1yamaha2009]

1993 R1 Rx-7 for sale i am only asking 5,500 i need money asp, thanks, please let me know asp (indianapolis IN)

[akademiks604bc]

wow its a turbo 2 and its ready to die its not ported and u can tell because the idle keeps changing so u know his foot and the pedal make it sound like its bp and there is a fence near so it sounds louder than it realy it and i know this cause i own a 90 t2 ported

[noob5000000]

@akademiks604bc lol

[xxdboyerxx]

@akademiks604bc your a fucking idiot if you think this rx7 is not ported

[akademiks604bc]

@xxdboyerxx i have a pineapple ported t2 this shit is gonna die u can tell its not ported by the sound its got a high idle and the rest if the exaust

[ttam142]

this may or may not be a stupid question but on a half bridgeport, only the secondary ports are bridgeported right? so then are the primaries ported at all or are they just left how it is? or even for a streetport, are all the ports ported or just the secondaries?

[DivinityOfDoom]

my exhaust always catches on fire

[cizkaro]

Love the sound, what rims are those?

[workensmart]

Dude that is so nice. its one if the better sounding RX's that I've heard. I would love to get a second gen RX-7 if I could find one in good shape. most of the second gens are all beat up and riced out.

[iamxeddiex]

go back to s4 tail lights.

s4 ftw

[noob5000000]

I'm 100% positive it's an S4 with painted molding and S5 tails. The moldings and the rear bumper give it away. The S5 moldings are thicker and are designed slightly different, and the S5 bumper has an extra 'lip' at the bottom. This is an S4.

S4 FTW btw

[DeMoeAurelius]

Yeap S4 I got one but it's a Vert... With S5 moldings, bumpers and and Vert tails cant wait till shes finished...

[143travieso]

@noob5000000 great eye i didn't notice the molding only the rear bumber... i personaly like s4 kept s4 and s5 kept s5 i'd show pride in my s4 if i had one luckly i have an s5 lol i won't even put the tt2 hood cause its not original to my n/a

[HeavyGhost]

@noob5000000 I agree. Except S5 FTW! btw.

[Gin132456]

@HeavyGhost i can agree with you there man! except s4 engine ftw if its turboed ;)

[HeavyGhost]

@Gin132456 To each their own. I like the looks and more power of the s5

[clutch23q]

@noob5000000 ill add to that and say its an 88 model S4 =)

[bigtony080808]

also the trim is color matched and the mirrors are the s5 not the fold away ones

[Rotarymoney]

what year is this?

[noob5000000]

2009.

lol, the car appears to be a series 4 ('86-'88) RX7

[spoolin87rotary]

man theres no way to tell what year that is from just lookin at it from the out side. there not stock rims and the tail lights and mirrors point to a s5...

[noob5000000]

The exterior trim is S4

[bigtony080808]

actualy its an s5 you can tell by the rear tail light

[noob5000000]

S5 tails swap directly into place of S4 taillights. And the molding are pinted, yes, but they are clearly S4, the S5 moldings are thicker. You can also tell from the shape of the reap bumper.

[blyndrotor]

Well that means nothing. Mines a S4 with s5 tail lights RE amemiya mirrors and a couple of other changes, so you just can't tell what year it is.

[bigtony080808]

lol i retract my previous statement

[blyndrotor]

My god. I wish half the commenters were half as gracious as yourself.

Regards

Respect

[bigtony080808]

whats the point of argueing its stupid just like every rotary video i watch there is an arguement between pistions and rotarys in this all i have to say is bothe have there strengths and weakness so i wish everyone would just sop the stupid arguing

[PinkEskimo121]

another way to tell an s4 from an s5 is the seatbelts

but yeah, hard to tell from the exterior sometimes

[blyndrotor]

Cheers. you learn something new everyday.

Can you elaborate on the difference.

[PinkEskimo121]

The s5 has the kind that slides from one corner of the door to the other when the door gets open lol

as opposed to the s4 in which the seat belt is already within the fixed position

[blyndrotor]

Ijust want it back on the road.

Its been far to long.

Think I have to wait till the weding is paid and done but I want to take it on the honeymoon.

[iamxeddiex]

I feel you. I have a broken ankle, and can't drive my 87 FC3S.

[blyndrotor]

Nice one.

[medoseedo11]

1991 lol

[ChainLocked]

Nice car, but could we remove the fart can? It makes the car sound like an '85 Toyota pickup.

[Draelren]

That isn't the exhaust that's making the sound. That's the sound of a Bridgeport 13b.

[Rudeboi253]

U must have a toyota pick-up with a rotary then....

[turbofx83]

Thanks BDC for this video of my car..its a hit..

[Z32spdstr]

damn that is 1 of the best rx-7 idling engines i have ever heard props brother

[intertr0ns]

so nice

[noob5000000]

I came.

[medoseedo11]

At the end of the vid when the car hits that sweet bridgeport low note thats the one that gets the V8 heads turning YA HEARD!!!!

[bosgreene36m3]

haha shit. just cranking my full bridge up will get heads turning, and car alarms blaring. not too many people can appreciate that until they actually hear one in real life. I think im gonna go drive mine now. maybe make a video too.

[medoseedo11]

lol and surprisingly it doesn't cost a fortune to do. But then again every other internal part can get a little costly... oh well.... its fun

[triggadigga]

Lickulent

[bridgeportedrotary]

love the idle

[stickysilvertbird]

howd you get it to sound like that at idle? that sounds sick as shit. i have an 88GXE with a 3" allthe way back into a magnaflow.. no cats either and it idles smooth...its also n/a

[rageagainst89]

doesnt it have to do with the porting on the engine?

[noob5000000]

Yeah an aggressive port, such as a large street port or a bridge port will cause it to idle that way.

and stickysilverbird, you are losing power with a 3" exhaust on an N/A, you should go no bigger than 2.5"

[Z32spdstr]

i agree even then he will top end also but most of all he will loose torque

[hondarm225]

dude wat brand and type rims r thos but i got a 88 RX7 anf it missing one rim and there just like that?

[petrol88]

RusselCrowe is the shizznit.

[Jilek3]

I have a sexy lookin rx-7 with body kit, chrome wheels, lowered, and some more, but no engine work. What should i do first? its an 86FC3S, with just cold air in-take as of now. What should i do to make it fast, while not spending too much right off the bat.

[TurboRSX333]

i/h/e = cheap power

then move to internals

[ridox000supra]

of course get an exhaust, for the purpose of annoying neighbors (make sure no cats for extra points).get it ported, i hear BDC does it real good. if its NA do a TII swap. then crank boost (poor apex seals...), prepare for rebuild, rebuild, repeat.

[84gsl]

You only have to keep rebuilding if you dont tune it right. even the 2mm apex seals will hold plenty of boost as long as its tuned right, any hint of detonation and byebye seals.

[djayangel]

Whats the 2mm and 3mm apex seals applications for? I have a turbo II but don't know what seals to get...

[84gsl]

I believe the turbo 2 runs 3mm apex seals. If you need info on what stuff to use for the motor your building, contact racing beat, mazdatrix or atkins rotary. Ive done business with all three of these companies, they can help you out.

[soulthatcreates]

The Turbo 2 uses 2mm seals, so did the NA versions of that era. The only reason to run 3mm seals would be if the grooves too worn for 2mm seals...

[NoBl3]

LOOK like polished Sportmax 962. correct me if im wrong.

[turbofx83]

Yes Sir!!

[Blind47]

man those rims look sick. wish mine sounded like that =]

[JohnnyWheelz]

brap-brap-brap... love it, RX-7's rule...

[Sol5t1c3]

out of curiousity, hows ur gas consumption situation on that half bridge set up? j/w cuz i dunno if i wanna go streetport or half bridge on my turbo swap

[meguiness]

i had a 7 that got about 9-12mpg

it loved fuel

full bridge

W/megasquirt in control

1500 & 750 injectors

[BudSpencerpowa]

Nice Sound, clean FC, hot wheels (what brand ? offset ...) What tune did U do to accomodate the bridgeport ? (ecu mod, injectors ..)

Ludo.

[turbofx83]

Halfbridge is when the secondaries ports have the bridge cut and the primeries are left with a big streetport which makes it a halfbridge port.....lol i should know this is my car!!

[scrfce123]

There aint no such thing as a half bridge, it is either a bridgeport or J port....

[DRIFT4TIRES]

sweeet fc! wish my fc sounded like that, probally will by spring time :D. I now am going to bridgeport i think.

[Felotec]

What wheels are those?? Sounds mean!

[slammedEHhatch]

yea, the brideport does that, sometimes if you tune street or raceports certain ways you can get them to sound like that.

[ramiwolf]

When you Bridgeport a Rotary it gives it that camming idle sound.

[akilla4ever]

what year is that Rx-7?

[ls1munky]

its called a port. obviously you didnt rear the title

[Robyn923b]

hey man, what did u do to the car to get that sound, I thought only carburated rx7's could get that sound how did u do it>

[Paulyw86]

V8 in Rotary car..gay. 13B & 20B=)

[paradoxbox1]

that's not a v8 dummie

[Paulyw86]

yea i know buddy, in earlier posts people were talking about putting a V8 in a RX7 which usually is gay because it's done by poor white trash ppl, and the engines aren't tuned at all.

[bigbengtr]

man this shit is mad what have you done to it man

[zRotary]

damn i could cry...

awesome!!

what type of exhaust is this? db?

[zRotary]

DAMN! i love that brapbrap...

[hotmoviemaker]

Damn that is some crazy shit.Looks amasing.Very nice.not a big fan of the exsaust sounds.

[Reix2x]

WOW that car looks like a Hell demon!

[mason8370]

if you drop a V8 in it, your a disgrace....if you want more power you might as well drop a triple rotary, twin turbo in it

[Aveoon32]

hah i would be pissed if you droped a v8 in a car that uses a rotary.... " rotary 4 life "

[undermidnight75SB]

Drop a V8 in it...big sex on wheels...lol

[slideboi1]

man that car was sex on wheels sounded sooo mint

[drewnasty69]

Nothing Like the Sound of a bridgeported RX-7!! Fresh Whip

[danamezjohn]

what kinda exhaust is that? N1?

[tmiller9909]

oh that sounds great!!

[fcdriver]

awesome!

[jdmEmperor]

are those sport max wheels if so can u tell me the size and offset u used?
