Aces EFI Killshot - Complete rx7 build - 12 months of progress

Hey all! Welcome back. Here's a video of my build progress over the last 12 months! I'm still waiting on my inspection appointment, but I will be having a full driving video soon! She drives really good from the 15 or so miles i've taken her out. Thanks for watching!

the stop motion engine teardown was pure art brother

[@wheresmy10mm]

Thank you so much! That's very kind. I'm happy you enjoyed it. 😁

[@leebambara]

Man this is so exciting. I can't believe how well documented all of this is, and wow you certainly have so much patience to take that engine apart entirely with stop motion animation.... wtf man.... true artist. Can't wait to see more! Do you have a name for her?

[@wheresmy10mm]

That's so nice. Thank you so much! 😁 My next one is gonna be even bigger in scope! 😈 I've just been calling her Goldie and Goldilocks lol

[@leebambara]

@@wheresmy10mm Old Gold baby ... Goldie... great name...

I'm late to this video, but hell yeah man. Wicked video. Nice to know I'm not the only one who's shredded bearings, when I was reading through forums people made it sound like bearings almost never need replacing, I'm starting to think that might be BS lol. Noticed you're running without a few of the dizzy wires, are you running only leading plugs or something?

[@wheresmy10mm]

The forums are great and have helped so much. But I get the feeling there's a lot of BS on there lmao I gutted the leading igniter and soldered the insides so that its just a magnetic pickup and I'm using an MSD 6al digital to fire both leading at the same time. I plan on running this engine very high in the rpm range pretty often and I've read that the old school coil doesn't do very well about like 7500rpm sustained or something. I'll see if I can find the forum post about how to do it if you'd like to see! I'm happy both our cars are running strong now. I cant wait to see dyno numbers 😈

[@wheresmy10mm]

@gilesVessey you probably dont need this since you're running a 13b right? www.smbaker.com/sand-rail/mazda-rotary-conversion/msd-6a-direct-fire-ignition-for-mazda-rx-7-rotary-engine

@@wheresmy10mm very cool! I definitely gotta get mine on a dyno at some point, wish there was one in my province. Once I'm done of break in #2 I think I'm gonna time some 0-60s and hopefully not break anything lol. Me too man! I think it's safe to say we've put in enough sweat to deserve a few years worth of healthy braps

[@wheresmy10mm]

@GilesVessey Hell yes we do!

[@GilesVessey]

@@wheresmy10mm Just saw this now, we do have the same stock coil and distributor setup I think - I kept the stock dizzy setup alone apart from cleaning and greasing everything good and upgrading the coils to MSD blaster 2s just because it seemed like a good idea. Our engines are essentially exactly the same engine apart from my rotors and housings being 80mm thick versus the 12a ones being 70mm, we have the exact same irons, front housing, etc. Series 2/3 is where it's at
