rx7 help
ok i got off my ass today and charged trhe battery in my fd and did a tune up
i replaced the plugs and did an oil change...
took it out for a spin and when it builds boost it develops a rattle...
not a deep rattle ...like a clangy type of rattle...
any ideas??
it has some foam filters on the intake tubes and after i took them off they are starting to deteriate and some of the foam got sucked into the turbo...
do you think that could have messed the blades up in the turbo and that is whats rattling???

Re: rx7 help
Does it idle fine? As in can you hear the noise when its idling? Im assuming stock twins? Still sequential? You could get a stethoscope (sp?) and put it on the turbos at idle, if it is the fins that are messed up you should be able to hear them slighty. Unless you have ridiculous amounts of shaft play. Have you chacked them physically?

Re: rx7 help
well it runs better when its warm.,..
i drove it out a second time to try and pinpoint the rattle and it died on me and now it wont start...
i will do a comp check and check for fuel pressure in the am...
what should the compression be on this??
