Yeah flip up are sweet especially on certain cars!

So pretty standard relay wiring. Do you have a mounting location for the relay and the samm compressor? I used an existing hole for my relay

 

Did the flip ups break and only one would go up haha

Rx7s are one of the few tuner cars that I like. I love the use of rotary engines so simple. I want an old Baja styled bug one day for desert running hahah

 

Yeah, I have those holes I talked about in the sidewalls of my engine bay that I'll use, figured out what size bolt they use and all

 

Idk what a rotary engine is, but it sounds good LOL


LOUD NOISES

 

Instead of pistons, there's a rotor that spins sideways to do the strokes. You can also rev a rotary engine to like 15k rpm and it won't blow. Mazda likes to use them

 

Yes he went through like 3 headlight motors in the couple years he owned it haha. But he got that car with 89k on it for 6500. That's a deal

 

Okay and then do you have a mounting spot for the secondary fuse box yet?

Its has rotors instead if pistons. An rx7 has two rotors and each one has three firing points (our cylinders have one) so with the 2 rotors you get in a sorts a 6 cyl but a much smaller displacement. If all that makes sense

 

Much higher reving haha you are suppose to red line them every once in a while too I'm not sure if its because rotors have a bad build up or just to oil it all up

 

We had some Mazda rotary blocks in our marine shop that Mazda donated. Such a weird concept to get ahold of haha

 

That would piss me off replacing them so much haha and that's a great deal asling as the car was sound body and mechanical wise

 

All it had was a small coolant leak. Very small

 

The only reason I know is cause a guy I know builds sand rails off vw bugs and uses 2200 cc dp bug engines so he showed me it all. Its very different then what we know

 

Screw rotary! 2 strokes FTMFW

 

Yeah, I've never heard of that, very interesting. The fuse block is going to go right behind my OEM fuse box, in an empty space, LiNk:http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...secondary-stand-alone-fuse-block-install.html

 

No environment doesn't like 2 strokes that's why I drive my truck! truck=good for environment Prius=bad hahah

 

For rotary engines they have a lot of problems it seems guzzling oil of blowing seals so that's probably why they aren't used a lot.


That's a cool location for the box to go it seems like you could have 2 there if you needed that many as well.

 

Evinrude E-tec outboard engines are 2 stroke direct injected outboards and had a 3 star emssions rating before the four strokes did. The technology is there to make clean 2 strokes

 

Oh yeah, definitely. I just got a bigger block than that guy did. Mine has 12 power slots and 12 ground slots.

 

Ohh yeah I know there is. I was just screwing around. Obviously our trucks aren't good for the environment haha

Yeah his looked a bit small for the sheet. 12 will get you a lot of lights

 

Its 30 amps per circuit, that's like 300 watts, and I'll be using LED lights for the most part so I'll probably never trip the 100 amp breaker for it.

And the 12 block was $8 more, so I said why not
