Did you change the oil/filter again after running the motor for a couple days?

Thanks for the kind words...I just might take you up on the offer. Some of the European oils are starting to show up here in the US ;)

I know MSD wires will from personal experience ;) You get a slight miss...especially at idle. Changed to stock length plugs and it disappeared. I've also seen it on stock wires, but in that case we changed the plugs and wires. Could have been the wires themselves.

Jay - I knew you would know what I was referring to :biglaugh: NGK 5275 is a platinum plug...it is an OEM spec. NGK 5689 is the iridium plug. NGK 2330 is the copper plug. NGK uses stock #'s (above) or part #'s...for example the BCPR6ES is the 2330 plug at stock heat range...a...

They are necessary.

Is that an LA scientific term? :biglaugh:

The fittings are odd ball iirc on the RX7 cooler...finding a pair of fittings could be a challenge...you may have to re-tap for NPT. Adjuster is running a RX7 cooler, you could ask him.

It's not the ECU ;) Check the wiring harness that connects on the back of the alternator..one of the wires goes to the dash combination meter (it's yellow w/ green stripe on an '89). Make sure you didn't fry it. Also check actual battery voltage with a multimeter when it drops like you...

They work good and have an internal thermostat. The only problem is where to mount it and get good air flow. On a pre'89, the grill goes all the way across the top of the bumper...mounting on top of the IC is a good place, but will require mod'ing the hood latch support bracket. On an...

No...don't over think this too much...you've covered yourself nicely by going with a thermostat controlled system ;) 1) How can you over work a thermostat for what it's designed to do. That's like saying you "over work" your coolant thermostat every time you run the car ;) 2) The will be...

That should work...just match the hose size (3/8") to the barbs on the cooler and you'll need a 1/2" NPT to 3/8" barb fitting for the thermostat. Same for the filter head. Tube type coolers are not as efficient, but running one that size, it should not matter. It will be protected from rocks...

True, but the PureOne flows well enough to meet the needs of the 7M oil system easily. I cut the case off a PureOne and it is plenty thick enough to meet just about any pressure you will see on a 7M. If you want more flow, the Wix is the best choice. The K&N has the bypass valve at the top of...

I do not, but you could...I would get the 160 deg Mocal. IMO it's over kill...the fan works well (especially since you need one anyway). I would get a filter for the tranny though...I use a Trasko bypass filter on a PermaCool filter head. It's located pre-cooler to protect the cooler as well.

Excellent point!

You are over engineering this a bit...that's better than not thinking about what you're doing though ;) Tranny fluid lives a far easier life vs motor oil...what you want is for it never to get too hot. The decrease in viscosity due to higher heat is hard on the various internal parts on an...

Rock Auto carries Wix filters: Rock Auto And, NAPA Gold filters are a Wix. The PureOnes are good...used them for a while on my auto tranny before I switched over to a Trasko bypass filter.

Fixed it for ya...LOL. ;)

Read This: Conventional Oil Filters I like Wix myself, but the PureOne is just as good...the difference is the Wix flows a bit better...the PureOne filters out finer particulates. I'm using a bypass filter that filters down to 1 micron, so I want the flow a Wix provides. K&N is a...

PepBoys should have the PureOnes (they do in Phoenix)...make sure the filter is blue (not white).
