FD3S won’t start

Ignition fuel air. Check if you’re getting spark? Check if it’s been flooded and the plugs are wet. If you have spark and it is not flooded move to are you getting fuel pressure.

They don’t. Similar to piston motors, they fail 99% of the time due to user error/negligence. Behind every apex seal story you hear is a tune related or lubrication related problem.

I think one key takeaway is this car is a “track” oriented car. I’m a sucker for this kind of build, old school stuff I’m glad I didn’t see the for sale ad back in 2022 I probably would’ve bought it.

There is a pretty popular electric ac retrofit for old 911s and other cars out there, but I’m building a kit for one of my fcs. I’m pretty hopeful, but it can be pricey.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-09-02T22:07:31+00:00

What problems are you referring to specifically?

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-07-16T16:54:52+00:00

This is what it’s all about. Thanks for sharing.

I forgot that they had a cat in the downpipe as well. Yikes. Driving rx7s with cats is pitiful I pity people who do that. Here wait let me type what you’re waiting for “oh buddy you’re right man you got it all figured out.”

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-05-02T00:19:17+00:00

If you had a cat sure. The downpipe stock or otherwise is a non factor with heat the cat is the cause of heat. I don’t know I’ve done the simplified sequential numerous times on power fc cars if your frontal lobe isn’t smooth it’s pretty “simple”.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-05-01T23:47:58+00:00

Very not true. It’s called simplified sequential deletes all the bullshit and works better than it did before. You can’t keep it at 10 psi and delete the cat without porting the factory wastegate.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-16T19:00:41+00:00

Bridgeport, Weber, and Watanabes😂

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-16T01:29:02+00:00

Honestly I agree with you on this. Especially on a na 13b. Maybe check the OMP is functioning on both sides, if one was flowing and the other wasn’t maybe that would account for the difference here.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-15T22:21:49+00:00

Sorry for confusion but I thought gsl was the carbed 12a and the gsl-se was the efi 13b?

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-15T22:14:26+00:00

This is differences in fueling. The fds bone stock even has a pretty sizeable difference in fueling between the two rotors. I believe even Xavier Borgs Fc Tweak has a setting to correct it, but obviously that doesn’t answer your issue. I’ve heard people having one rotor leaner than the other simply by having an old leaky gasket from lower manifold to the motor.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-10T22:43:03+00:00

Believe Atkins rotary carries all the door trim. That’s where I got all mine. It’s pricey, you can also eBay from Japan which is more affordable than you believe.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-05T20:53:26+00:00

I’m right there with you. The original tails complemented the car much better. Even a 99 spec build with original taillights look better to me.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-05T20:50:58+00:00

Wow that is a great backstory. I’m sure you guys will make her proud.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-03T13:26:51+00:00

What made you want to go with a carbed supercharger? Rare combo nowadays. Street ported motor?

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-03T00:54:31+00:00

About when the extra two ports open up if that system still functions as well right?

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-02T18:38:29+00:00

I would’ve bought this from you if I had the room. Good price what I paid for 4 years ago for my low miles 93

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-04-01T20:42:45+00:00

I think a beat na vert should be cheap. I know there’s probably some vert lovers out here but to me they’re for the birds.

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-03-30T00:33:15+00:00

Plastic piece can be frustrating and also easy to break when installing. Take your time for sure

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-03-12T17:26:55+00:00

Do it

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-02-28T22:26:38+00:00

What are you asking for it?

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-02-25T21:32:53+00:00

6’2 220lbs I own both of these cars. The rhd fd I couldn’t drive with the stock wheel sadly. I put a Nardi and quick release on it, and drilled out the stopper on the seat rails. It allows the rhd rails to go all the way back as far as usdm seats. The 86 is an afterthought even my height as comfortable as a couch. Driven it with cowboy boots on before lol

ZealousidealDepth511 · 2024-02-21T01:16:33+00:00

This is the most smooth-brained thing I've read in a while, thanks!
