Yes you should tear it apart!
I just found out yesterday that the issue that I had on the Audi where I thought I had blown the turbo or worse turned out to be 5 of the exhaust manifolds bolts were loose/missing. 1.5 years for me to look under the hood... |

Here's a tip from my '93 RX-7 days:
Pettit Racing should still be selling the second knock detector kit for the 13B motor. That provides knock detect to the second rotor housing, since the stock motor only has one. |

It will have an extra output to activate the methanol injection. I will also have a pressure sensor activate it as well as an rpm sensor. This way, I will be covered if it knocks, if it revs above 6000rpm or if it goes above 12psi. All of these settings are adjustable... I really need to get this build going again. Maybe after my vacation next month. Just need more green to burn...  |

I stumbled upon this thread and read it all in one sitting. I could not stop. Fascinating project and an amazing fabrication job! As both a 914 and RX-7 owner, I understand your desire to successfully blend the two, and you've truly made one very special "914"!
