Hello all,
I've tried searching for this question, but haven't found anything definitive. Though its still a ways off, I am hoping to add the ol' RX-7 oil cooler up front, complete with a custom fiberglass valence on this '73 1.7. In the meantime, while I've got the motor sitting here in the driveway, I wanted to switch to the heavy-duty oil pump. I have heard this is a good idea with an oil cooler mounted a ways from the pump. I'll be using the sandwich adapter and keeping the stock cooler as well. My question is mostly pertaining to the relief valve inside the motor. Do you have to replace it if you use the type I pump? Will it dramatically increase oil pressure if you don't? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

140 rear springs would be a good thing. You might find some used from someone making a further upgrade. You should be able to sell the 100s to someone who still has the stock -4 rear springs.
Set your ride height at 5" to the bottom of the rocker panels. Set rear camber at 2 to 2.5 degrees negative and front camber at minus 1.5-2 degrees. Run zero toe up front and 1/16" total toe in at the rear. (1/32" difference between the front and rear edges of the wheel, per side measured with the car between parallel strings.) Start with the anti-sway bar at half stiff and make adjustments based on cornering feel. If the car is a little loose that's fine. You'll need to plan on being on throttle as you enter the corners. Always make sure you downshift before corner entry so that the engine is above 3500rpm or you won't have enough torque to transfer weight onto the rear tires. Upshift at 5700. There's no benefit from going higher. This is what happens if you forget to downshift and try to go into a corner at speed |
