We picked up this Series 8 Mazda RX7 in Japan and road tripped it back to Hiroshima, met some of the engineers from the project and generally had an excellent time - BUT it never worked properly. In the first video of this series we dive into fixing and modifying one of the coolest looking JDM sports cars ever made.

01:13it's down below in the description and
01:16We'll add some of this stuff to your order. You will get something definitely 100%
01:21But for now everybody settle in because today's a heartwarming and epic video a beautiful surprise
01:29By a beautiful man. Martin was also there and and look it's actually a really nice one. So check it out
01:36We hope you are enjoying this series grab something. It supports the show directly sometimes sometimes people are like
01:42How do we actually support the show we do our own merch ourselves?
01:45We pack it we send it we make it we design it where we can we get it made in Australia
01:49So it directly goes to helping us. Yes. Thank you very much. It will self-destruct
01:53So if you're seeing this, it's the offer is on if this is gone or you come back to it. It's over
02:06Welcome to a special episode of Mighty Car Mods where we're cooking chooks people. We're cooking chooks. We've got the brat-brat-mobile
02:12We're cooking chooks. A chook cooker. Is that the thing? Yeah, because you put the chook on the rotating thing
02:18And it sounds like a chicken
02:20They're not making any noise though. They're dead
02:22So's this car
02:24Interestingly, but let's rewind a little
02:28Good job, that's good as a segue
02:30Anyway, we are going to go back in time just a little bit now when we were in Japan
02:34You may have noticed that we're driving around on the highway felt great driving through the twisties
02:38It felt great rotary power is quite linear
02:40But I did notice when I was on the track right towards the end of the film that I saw the boost gauge go up
02:45When I had a chance to look at it and then when the revs came up it went down again
02:48I'm like, that's interesting still felt fast still was great
02:50So when the car arrived into Australia a couple months later, it went through Queensland
02:54It came down to us. The first thing we did was head to the dyno. This is what we found
02:59I've brought the rx-7 down to Haltech to come and see Scott otherwise known as tuning fork
03:04He's one of my favorite people in the world and he knows a little bit about rotary powered cars
03:10It's snug
03:11You've been in these things before haven't you? I have
03:15Nicest-looking car ever made but they're squashy, but they're squashy proper squashy only squashier part is in the back
03:23Oh, yeah, no one's sitting in there are they?
03:26They're so deep a the bucket. Yep
03:28See, yeah, it's nice because you can like put your keys and your fruit and stuff in there keys in your fruit
03:32It's like a little fruit bowl. Look at it
03:35Yeah, you're all the way back
03:37Yeah, I mean even even I'm looking for I'm about six one and I'm looking for
03:41Better seat options because I can't get far enough back and my knees hit the steering wheel
03:45So on the road, this would be really tough for you, right? Impossible impossible
03:49But dude for the dyno who cares the dyno who cares and to look as cool as you look driving this car
03:55Sacrifices have to be made
04:01Stock
04:03Only a couple real mild mods. I think we've got a trust intercooler in the front. Mm-hmm some kind of muffler on the back
04:08I don't think it's a full exhaust, but I haven't had a proper look
04:11And aside from that, I don't actually know it's got oh, it's got an earthing kit
04:16Super important very very 90s cool
04:21First pull up full throttle hit the spacebar rotary power
04:35Really late
04:39I
04:41Started to make some more at power, but it really leaned out in there
04:44Yeah, that's a weird. That's a bit weird
04:46And it did it went in like big jagged was that what I was saying big jagged line there what I might do
04:52I'm gonna move the o2 sensor in the exhaust and just make sure that we're getting the proper sample because
04:57That is it might not be hitting the sensor. Yeah, that is fairly nerve-wracking. It feels alright. It sounds good
05:04Yeah, it's fine on the street
05:05But worth a look
05:07This is a good reason to help check your car when you buy it
05:12Doesn't have a stupid on the silencer
05:17So all I've done is just move it to a different orientation just in case the muffler was happy in whatever area job
05:23All right, same run round two. Oh, we're gonna we're just gonna do exactly the same thing. Yeah, no changes
05:30And hopefully our mixture comes to good and it's more of a measurement problem rather than a car problem
05:35I am gonna pull out of it. If it's like that again, I don't want to be given a pill
05:43Maybe it's good you press the spacebar. Oh you press it
06:05Oh
06:09All right, all right looks like pretty stock power too, but I'd be interested to see straight into it
06:14Oh, yeah, but oh, this is it the things work. That's harder. That's gonna work right full load. All right your turn
06:36You
06:42Beautiful super consistent there man
06:46I'd be very interested to see our boost curve hundred percent. So
06:51To feel all right on the road. Uh, the top end feels a bit flat
06:56There we go. So pull on pull I'm gonna argue. They're exactly the same with a bit of heat soak
07:00Yeah, so we made up the top here. We either had
07:06Let's just find a nice point to talk about
07:09Yeah, what 127 or 124 whatever? Yeah, so they were close enough that they're about the same. Yep
07:17If your ratio on the rotary engine so as the run starting
07:22We're at 11 to 1 11 and a half to 1 and then as soon as we come across
07:284,000 rpm 11 to 1 rich. Yeah, the revs are up there by then. We keep on cruising and revs for ever
07:35Rims forever. So you think it's only boost pressure holding us back. Really? Yeah. Yeah, it looks like it's dropping to me
07:41A lot of factory stuff. Yeah, significantly it does roll over so down here
07:46That's got our engine rpm down the bottom. Sure, and then it's got the boost pressure up the top here
07:50So three or thirty three hundred rpm 11 pounds
07:54You can see the staging point there
07:56That shouldn't be dropping that hard should it? I mean, that's my fear. I don't know enough about them
07:59But 11 ish pounds and then it rolls over to a
08:04See I can't imagine they'd have
08:07Factory to have six or five or six pounds in it. So it's hot in these things. I agree with you
08:12So it's probably is down on power a little bit. I reckon it is
08:14I'm imagining you guys have a solution for this car to correct. We do. Yeah, so we make a plug-in kit for
08:20We do yeah, so we make a plug-in kit for series six seven eight
08:26Plug the ECU in turn the key. It just works. Sweet. I'm excited for that bit
08:30That's a little while away, but I'm pretty excited for that. Who's control all that stuff. It'll make that easy. Yeah
08:35I'm super keen to just make it work
08:37Do you imagine like with a single turbo and a reasonably mild set up 200 of the wheels is reasonable 100% probably?
08:42Because I reckon this would be fun with about 200 200 plus would be great using the same rules as later
08:48Subarus later evos all that meant if this thing had to 20 to 250 kilowatts of the wheels and it was reliable
08:55Yeah, and it comes on and it makes 300 350 newt-meters just holds it till the limiter
09:02That'd be a good thing beautiful. I think that's the aim. I think that's that's about the right
09:07Spot for it. Yeah
09:09All right, find a manifold kit. We'll do mate. So the car doesn't make enough power and there's clearly
09:15Something wrong with it
09:16So now what we've got to try and work out is what are we going to do to fix it Martin?
09:20And where are we going with this story? Where's the what's the end goal?
09:24So the end goal is probably around double what it made on the dyno would be great
09:28I'd like to keep it on petrol just because the availability of a 85 and it's like it's something you do want to jump on
09:33A highway and just go so if you don't want to be having to worry about Jerry's and stuff. It's not a race car
09:38The things already been modified. So I'm leaning more towards like
09:42Putting modern stuff on it. Should we talk about purity quickly?
09:45So here's the consideration and I think it's a really fair one. Do you just purify the car?
09:50keep it exactly as it left the factory as it left Hiroshima as it was intended or
09:56Do we get with the times and change it up? And I think there's actually an argument for both of those
10:00So ultimately we got to find out what the owner thinks
10:03So I think if I bought one that was bog stock
10:06Really nice and all that was wrong with it was it was down on power
10:09You just purify it right he's gone and then you go. Oh, yeah, then you go cool
10:13I've got a 2002 20 year old rx-7 that is exactly as it rolled off the factory line
10:18Which is the way it was intended with maximum purity and I'm all for that for certain cars
10:22particularly
10:23I think if you're either one of those people that wants to keep a museum piece or you're looking just to sell it and make
10:27Money because if you have a working one, that's full purity untouched
10:31It's gonna be worth more money than a modified one, but the experience of driving it on the road
10:36In its current form broken is not so great. So I had a quick look
10:41I just basically pulled one or two hoses off to have a look and see if there's anything obvious and
10:45Stuff started just breaking in my hands. Like there's just bits of rubber that all the rubber is really hard
10:51In all the vacuum. So all this twin turbo stuff
10:53We've backed look straight away vacuum actuated and one of these has just snapped off the little vacuum tank that's up here
10:59Then there's another like boost tank that's down there. That's also broken
11:02You can't get to any of it without pulling everything apart
11:04So you either go full purity and you replace all this stuff and stay twin turbo, but being that's already modified
11:10And being that there is some really cool interesting stuff available for these these days
11:15I'm leaning more towards my isn't this also super expensive to get parts for this some of these actually like crazy. Yes
11:22There's a big
11:23mess of solenoids in there that control the twin turbo system that the controllers them are pretty expensive to buy now because
11:31Again, 20 years old. So I think you can get some of it new still
11:35But what I find interesting is so that the elephant in the room is going
11:39Okay, you get rid of two turbos and you put one more than one there
11:41Yeah, like that's a very very popular modification on lots of cars people don't do it as much with Subarus though
11:48Do they well, I guess that we only got what we only get there. There's only a couple of times
11:52I go once yeah, but they weren't very good and honestly
11:55Yeah, most people just get stuff off an STI and put it on a single them as well
11:57So yeah, okay twin turbo like I've owned a couple of twin turbo cars and I think they're great
12:01I know it works well on this particular car, but turbo technology in the 20 years since this came out has improved
12:06Yeah, vastly billet wheels lightweight in like good housings see affordable. Yeah, and so it might actually be a lot
12:15simpler to
12:16delete this and
12:18Stick a single in there and one of the reasons is we go from about I don't know 40 vacuum lines to two
12:24Yeah, there's one going to the ECU. There's one going to the boost control and that's it
12:28I think that's the thing as well with cars like this
12:30They needed to be complex to kind of run all the different systems that were required to kind of make that power somewhat efficiently
12:37It's not required anymore
12:39So it's probably something that you see a bit of a theme of on mighty car mods when we're kind of doing older cars
12:44Just trying to make them something that you can drive around reliably and they work like a normal car. I love the purity
12:50I love people keeping things original, but a lot of people that are kind of playing with purity cars
12:54They are they often don't get to enjoy them because they're not working or there's a very very specific
12:58We'd be community required to get parts for them. So I think I really we just need to do an investigation
13:03I don't know much about these cars. I've never in the rotary
13:06Marty has owned to none. Oh, I and a series one. Yeah, that was my first rotary
13:11I learned a lot on that but this was always the one I wanted to own but it had to sort of step up to
13:16It so I think what we should do is we just get all this stuff and chuck it in a purity box
13:22Yeah, so we don't get been anything purity box all that stuff and then start having a bit of a hunt around for what we can
13:28Use to modernize this that is a long-winded way of saying we're going single turbo
13:35Going to the diner proved what we suspected that the second turbo was doing basically nothing
13:39Well more likely the complex system of solenoids and valves have seized up and broken down over the past two decades
13:46Turning this beautiful looking sports car into a nugget that would lose a drag race with a Hyundai i30
13:51This is all new for us
13:53I've never owned a 13b powered car and I've heard and read that working on this bends your mind in ways
13:58You could never imagine because while it still sucks squashes and bangs fuel
14:02The way it does it in the round and round manner instead of up and down changes everything
14:08We're also dealing with technology that was designed in the early 90s and used right up to the early 2000s
14:13Which means a lot of this stuff was great for the day, but technology has definitely moved on
14:17Have you got yourself a mighty no-rod shirt yet? This is limited edition
14:21It only exists while we're doing videos on this rx-7 and then it's gone
14:24If you want to grab one now, it's your chance. Click the thing below Mazda packed this engine bay full of stuff
14:30But there is method to it
14:31The engine sits close to the firewall and low down which helps with excellent weight distribution
14:36The twin turbo system is also compact and a very necessary power adder to wake up that 13b
14:41When you drain the coolant, it sounds like a rotary
14:47It's like it knows
15:04So pulling all that stuff out the front of the engine has revealed the 13b
15:08It's kind of actually tucked away and hidden and
15:10It's like a weight balance thing to have the engine so far back because the shock towers are here and most the weight of the engine
15:15Is there but 13b is already very light for how much power they put out?
15:19It's one of the reasons these are such great cars. Also. Interestingly is the radiator is mounted like flat nearly flat
15:25I guess you'd call that like a beam out thing
15:27So there's lots of options for intercoolers now the one you saw that came out of there the trust one full 90 spec
15:32Yeah, get it go. Oh, dude, good shot
15:35Was mounted in this space and then it's ducted some air comes through here and ducts into the intercooler
15:40That means it all sorts of bolts together reasonably factory
15:42You can change this set up with the radiator air con and intercooler to be the V mounted or or front mounted
15:49I don't know what I'm going to do, but an intercooler upgrades most likely on the cards
15:54Just because we can and the stuff exists and it's local and it's a really good quality. It's not that expensive
15:59So we're just going to keep pulling some stuff off
16:01We'll pull the stop of the manifold off so we can get to the coils because that's something we could probably look at upgrading
16:07Replacing we also need to get rid of all this stuff all this
16:10Rubber is like brittle and very very hard. So all that will will go in the bin, but we'll keep at it and
16:23No offense Mazda, but like yuck look
16:26Look at this full respect to rotary people who deal with this all the time and fix them
16:30But like that is there's a lot going on
16:33I guess the packaging is cool
16:34Like all the coils are hidden under there and it's all real tight and neat
16:37Man, there's a lot of stuff that can go wrong here with age all tucked away. That's a big job to get that off
16:42Actually, that's like a good probably hour of pulling stuff apart. Oil filter is never a tricky spot
16:47so many
16:49Vacuum solenoids and and one-way valves and and rubber stuff and everything is brittle
16:55So I guess if you were just gonna stay twin and go completely stocky sealant sort of stuff
17:00I guess you just have to replace it all which is whatever I did
17:03Not me, I'm gonna keep yanking some stuff off and then work out
17:08What to do next we're gonna take the car over to super garage so we can stick it on the hoist
17:13Next on my list is to remove the twin turbo system and all its related components
17:17To do that the exhaust is going to come off along with a bunch of bracing brackets hoses and wiring
17:23I'll throw it all into a purity box
17:24Which is where parts go when they don't go in the bin as they may need to be reused or can go into someone else's
17:30project
17:31You don't see too many of these cars on the road in stock form anymore
17:35Especially not being daily driven and there's probably a few reasons for that
17:38When you factor in the cost of original parts and the labor to fix it
17:42You're well on your way to an upgrade that will improve the car unlocking more power
17:46Reliability or both the aftermarket is once again here to make this easier than ever with a heap of quality parts
17:52That will keep this thing on the road for years to come and installing those parts is easy
17:56As long as you can manage to remove all the stock stuff, which is turning out to be easier said than done
18:05One thing I am noticing is that all the factory parts feel quality
18:09It's clear that this was a more expensive car than a basic entry-level WRX or performance car
18:14These were competing on the world stage for buyers of sports cars heavily image driven with the performance to match
18:20Performance that will increase a whole lot assuming I can actually pull it apart successfully
18:26I
18:33Know you've waited so long time and time again
18:37All you say is that I did you wrong so you turn your back on the world pretending to be strong
18:43But you're crying deep inside. You're still hurting from the lies and I'm the man that you despise
18:51Now you act like you don't know me how does your FD rx7 that's got a sequential turbo system work
18:57this thing makes it work this mystery box of
19:01stuff
19:23That dump nearly beat me but it's off
19:26my goodness
19:33All right, so the final stud
19:37Snapped
19:39So that's a problem for Ron because it's still stuck in there in the engine, but the turbos themselves
19:44hopefully now should just pop off a little water line and
19:50Correctly
19:57I
19:58Come check this out
20:00So one of the things I both love about this rotary and hate about it is that is a really difficult job
20:06to do but it's also kind of impressive the
20:10Thought that they put into making this system because I mean you can see there
20:13That's two turbos right shares the water feed the oil feed comes in through here
20:17The exhaust gas goes in through those ports
20:21there and
20:23Then he shared goes through the turbos and then he shared like it's such a
20:27I've never really seen anything like it. The Subaru one works totally differently. They're separate
20:31These are together and in this one sort of reasonably compact, you know
20:34Which is why it's so hard to get off the car because they're trying to fit a lot of boost into a very small space
20:38I'm very very interested to see how we go with a single turbo conversion using modern turbo technology in that space
20:45It should be neat. It should be easy to work on and it should make as much if not more power
20:50But yeah, I've never actually driven a working
20:52No, I have driven one working FD RX-7 with working twins and it's good
20:57But is it as good as a single guess we'll find out
21:00I don't think these turbos have ever come off the engine
21:03It all seems pretty factory fresh and the low kilometers on the car would reflect that
21:07But also 20 years of heat cycles have practically welded some of these fastness together making removal pretty difficult
21:14Final piece of the puzzle coming off
21:16the actual
21:18manifold bit
21:20front rotor rear rotor
21:22flappy stuff in there
21:24To do it's a it's flappy work
21:26And I think what was not working was one of these flappy valves wasn't flapping and that's why we weren't getting a nice clean
21:32Transition to our secondary turbo and all that power and now down in here. It looks a little bit more typical rotary
21:39Well, it's pretty clean too. I think I've got a leaky remain seal and that lower rear stud also came out. So
21:45I'll need to investigate new gaskets. I don't know if you can reuse these
21:48I'll ask some rotary expert and tell me and
21:50Then the next step now is to tidy up all this stuff that we no longer need like every single vacuum line there is no
21:56longer required
21:57The oil feed will use and the coolant feed that will use and the oil returns obviously
22:03And that's that so a nice fat single turbo will go in that space. So watch this space
22:08I've learned a lot by pulling this thing apart
22:11Learned that a good proportion of it needs to go in the bin because some awesome new parts will soon take their place
22:18Another big piece off
22:20That's the lower intake manifold
22:24bit
22:25We probably will reuse this I think but we will delete a lot of extra stuff. That's not needed
22:30It's also where we can change injectors and do other cool stuff like that
22:33So to go single turbo, we need a single turbo, but also a manifold to support it
22:38So I've got two options here. Both are from Artec, which is a Sydney based company
22:42This is like stainless steel investment cast really nice stuff. So you can see there's no welds in there
22:48That's all a cast piece. That is a t4 flange, which is also split pulse
22:52Which means the pulses that go in there also go into the turbo which you'll get a split pulse turbo to suit it
22:58And there's also a v-band one similar idea and they basically sent to and use whichever one
23:03works best and send us back the one that doesn't so
23:07Next up is to try and work out what kind of turbo to put on it
23:10but before I did that I wanted to actually just test fit and see where it sits and get some sort of measurements and
23:15And work out what's going to happen. So we'll throw this on and have a look
23:18It's a nice piece of kit
23:19See what looks like and just like that an important piece of the puzzle is in place
23:23This will successfully low mount a g35 900 for a great balance of response and power
23:29One of the most fun parts of modifying a car like this
23:32Particularly a JDM hero like this is all the options you have for wheels now the wheels that came on it
23:37I like because it was aftermarket and the thing was already modified but the wheels themselves. I don't love there's other wheel combos
23:44I've seen on rx-7s that I always think look really really good
23:46But it's tricky because it's so subjective everyone has a different opinion on what wheels look good, but I have found some
23:52Accidentally come across some that I think might look amazing and it's these
23:58which are
24:00BBS LMS and they're a staggered set and you can see they're slightly different. This one's got a little bit more lip
24:04This one's got a little bit less so front and rear
24:07We've put them we've put some tires on them. I've got a set of Michelin Pilot Cup Pilot Sport Cup 2s
24:13For the front. These are actually off the Yaris and then a set of 265
24:18Michelin Pilot Sport 5s which are test ones we got for the Levorg
24:21So we just happen to have those tires sort of waiting around
24:24So I've put them onto this set of BBS and you're coming with us for the test fit
24:27Thought about test fitting it and then shooting it later. I'm like, you know what? Let's just let's just do it
24:32So you come with this. I hope it looks as good as I think in my head
24:36It might look good now
24:37rx-7s actually came with some BBS wheels back in the day and they were a very similar color
24:41But they're a bit smaller
24:42I believe as well because in this era everything was 16 inch right and 17 was considered big this already has 18s these 18s
24:48So let's see how it looks
24:50I
24:56Was today is old when I learned that these BBS LMS have like a built-in
25:01Centering ring thing which is specifically made for hub sizes. This looks like it's just the tiniest bit too small
25:07I would say like a millimeter
25:09So I'm assuming you can get different ones of these but they're held in by a circlip which is a bit tricky to get out
25:13But it's a circlip in there and if you can see it, but if we dig that circlip out
25:17We should have wheel freedom to at least fit them and say they look cool
25:20And then we can look into actually getting the right hub centering rings
25:41I
25:42Like it and there's a few different options for a car like this
25:44You can go full period correctness with all your mods and put wheels that are from like the exact same era and all the mods
25:50Are from the same era
25:51Or you can go completely original and I have a lot of respect for people that are able to do that
25:55And this is somewhere in between I like the dish and I like the gold and I like everything that's going on here
26:01I really do. There's so many good wheel options for FDs
26:04You've only got to Google it and you'll see there's like a hundred different ones you could do
26:07But I'm very happy with these particularly these wheels are pretty inexpensive
26:10They were secondhand and we also able to recycle some other tires that we had sitting around
26:13So that's a pretty good upgrade and the Graham lights are gone something else
