91 RX-7 S5 Start and Exhaust Sound Check Alt View

ALTERNATE VIEW This video is to show how a well maintained RX-7 idles when cold-started. It will first idle at 3,000 RPM for about 10 seconds to build oil pressure. Then it will drop to 1,500 RPM for about 15 seconds to warm the seals. Then it will drop to 600-750 RPM resting idle after about 30-45 seconds. Car is fitted with a K&N Cold Air Intake with heat shield and a 2¼" High-flow Cat-back dual exhaust system. The smoke from initially starting it is normal. The engine does this to lubricate the apex seals when the engine is cold.

*The car was pre-warmed prior to recording the video. I would never rev a cold rotary!

i'm actually about to purchase my own FC, so this gives me a good idea of what sounds i need to look for. thanks alot, dude!

No Problem! If you take care if them, they're pretty reliable. I drove this one from San Diego to Austin and back without a glitch.

[crzieP]

your talking about your car is well taken car of, then you rev it when its freezing cold. idiot.

[AMExile]

Idiot, hardly. Had you asked, I actually pre-warmed the car for about 30 seconds prior to recording the video. Thanks for the insult.

[AMExile]

[heyitzthatfc]

@zack7787 and our lawn mowers eat the shit out of your trash muscle around any road course. My '87 FC has four piston calipers stock. When did that become a standard item on an american car... oh wait, still hasnt happened yet.

So how hard is it to buy and run one of these if you're a nearly broke college student? I'm leaning towards one of these because I hear wankels are bulletproof when you love them and I don't really want to drive a shitbox.

@AMExile If you had let it warm up then it would have not ran up to 3k for the first 20 seconds...

Weedeater

[eclipsegsx765]

All RX7 the FC models do that warm up test?

[ducatiracing]

@crzieP shutdown! :L

[TommyBMoFukka]

ummmm not to be a dick but prewarming takes longer then 30 seconds... usually takes from 2 - 5 minutes... just throwing that out there.
