Ok, I will. I'll let you guys know when I decide to and who.

 

Did he tell you about his blown motor? Think again youngster. Think at least twice before you spend your $$$. Just my $0.02.

 

Bens was done back in the midwest or east according to him.
Twinkletoes in refeering to the rebuilder in Nor Cal.

 

Any info or any local knows that shop in Norcal?

 

Ya, go to www.rotarywarehouse.com.

 

Its your money, its your choice.

 

What you don't think they're a good company. They look like the have more experience then a lot of people, and better prices too. If I do end up going with them I'll let you guys know how everything is

 

So, i'm thinking I'll have rotarywarehouse rebuild the engine and then maybe me install it. What do you guys think? How hard is it? Are there and special tools needed? Thanks guys for your suggestions. God bless

 

Order either the Atkins or Rotary Aviation rebuild video. That will give you and idea if you are up to doing the rebuild yourself and what tools you need.

 

Alrgiht, i've been trying to have my bud bring over his rebuild video.

 

Where did you hear this?

 

if u think your up to it go for it but always check your stuff at least 4 times no harm in being certian

to be honest i cant wait till i can buy a rebuild kit and find time to rebuild a half brige

 

Ya, I talked to a guy tonight and he said rebuilding a rotary is really easy

 

Be sure to check with your local members (ie, gonzz) for feedback on that guy.
There is a difference between "it works" and "it works very well."

 

The first gens main problem is exhaust flow, or lack of it. Streetporting the motor will do basically nil because of the stock exhaust. If you are going to go to a hi-fow exhaust then go ahead if not save your money.

 

dude just buy a engine stand and a race rebuild kit and shop manual and read it read it real good.

Then get and get a decent socket set to get the engine out.

la de da blah blah blah you got no problems.

Just one Qusetion Twinkie who told you you have an engine problem that requires a rebuild? What is the symtoms.

rotary rebuild is easier than regular what are they called piston engines?

 

The guy that i talked to has supposedly the fastest FC in the town wacky. He's pretty well known it sounds like two.

Mr. Rx7, If I did Have the extra money after the rebuild I would get exhaust. So I don't Know.

Matt, The engine has a dowel pin leak that will need a rebuild sooner or later.

 

The past night I've been thinking about a t2 swap two. There's is some t2s on ebay all the time with complete wiring harness, tranny, engine(of course), basically the whole thing. I'm very careful though and I'm going to research a lot though. I figured it would be cool because I would be able to beat pretty much anything. What do you guys think? I don't know yet. Its not the time yet, but I want to be ready.

 

Sounds good but do more research. I am telling you this as I know a fat-*** local builder who will keep the good parts for himself. And then when it comes dis-assemblying the motor, you find mis-matching parts/and or used seals etc etc. There are dishonest builders out there. So be very careful.

 

If your serious about having a shop rebuild a motor, and have the cash, look up Pineapple. Theyre in Portland, OR, so itd be a little bit of a hike, but they know theyr ****. I think theyre the only shop I would trust with my motor.

 

I would to like to have them do it, But so exspensive, i'm 15. Might be getting a 13b motor anyways like a t2 or something

 

As far as a TII swap, for a younger and inexperienced driver, I know at your age, I wasn't ready for one. Learning how to drive and stay out of trouble is the first things that needs to accomplished, then perhaps a perfomance driving school to hone skills.

Before you even consider doubling the hp output, the rest of the car needs to be upgraded to handle it. In particular the entire brake and suspension system. The suspension needs to be brought up to as new or better and the brakes should be better than stock to bring those extra ponys down with more stopping power.

Even though distance will add to the cost and logistics factor, I can provide you the rebuild you want and there will be no doubts about quality or suspect parts.

 

It has been documented that a 12A rotary with a big street port, big exhaust (2.5" all the way back from 2" primaries, 3-way cat with air pump feeding it) but with a bone-stock Nikki will make 115 rwhp at 7600 rpm and pass Tarrant County emissions requirements. The next step, a custom Sterling Performance-Emission Nikki Carburetor on top of that combo was never realized when my '80 RX-7 meet its end one rainy morning. The nitrous system also sits in boxes crying for a car and engine long gone...

 

Ya, I was thinking about everything you said. Maybe I'll just get the N/A s5 13b or jsut get my motor streetported. These are jsut my thoughs. No decisions yet.

 

Take your time and set your goals. If you wanna stay N/A, then start your research on the best streetable set-up, instead of learning the hardway and draining your savings. Dont do what I did...ever wonder why I have so many junk carbs???
