Lay off the duct Aaron. You gotta buy some new slippers.
Good job! Not driving for 2 yrs sucks. I can't wait to see you back on the road.
Maybe we'll line 'em up.

As for lining them up...Sure...But you know you'll be walked.
NICE pics... doesn't look like it's that difficult of a job....
This might have been covered and I missed reading it but what kind of paint did you use on the housings? Is it a powdercoating? Also wondering, you're using NA housings and parts, but are you using the NA high compression rotors as well? BTW the color scheme looks absolutely wicked.
The block is all 6 port NA with the high compression rotors. Once you've gone high compression turbo, you never go back. "Turbo lag" is not in my vocabulary.
i just hope too many people don't take advantage of his pictures and do crazy things with his pics of himself!
But good writeup man. how long did it take you to assemble the engine?
and why didn't you do it in your garage? carrying it up basement steps would be a bitch i'd think.
The engine block only weighs about 175LB, so it won't be hard to get up the stairs.
So when is the dyno date ?

I really didn't intend this to be an engine build tutorial. However, I have also never seen anyone post a blow-by-blow assembly before. If you're going to do this, I would recommend getting the video. It covers everything, including the lengthy cleaning and measuring process.

I would like to challenge the claim that this is not a mullet. I present the following evidence:
As you can see, this hairstyle follows the classic description of a mullet...business in the front, pleasure in the back, as our friend Jacobcartmill has presented. I rest my case.

I want an engine stand now...
Rebuilding a rotary really isn't that bad. I managed to do it with some help from a mechanic friend. Don't expect it to go quite that smoothly though - I think it took us 6+ hours to get things together. Part of this was taking Rotary Aviation's suggestion that the superglue on the apex seal corner pieces wasn't really needed. They kept popping out. Very frustrating.
But, other than that, it was pretty much as described.
