LOL thanks, I'm still deciding what to do with the other engine and car.

Their rebuilds start at $1500 for a 13B, but I'm sure that doesn't include engine removal and install.

By the time I'm done I'll be $1700 (so far...) into the rebuild I'm doing myself, but that includes replacement housing, rotor and turbo. Getting my ECU chipped by Rtek, a new clutch kit, turbo gaskets, and all new seals gaskets and such.

 

just got my new turbo! going s5 on my 10AE. should be done before spring starts and the knee high snow melts...

 

I figure'd I'd let the rebuild thread know that emaleigh,my s5, is running.
I've never actually heard a good compression rotary engine, and I am now more in love with her than I ever have been.
It idles right at 800 or 850 but I haven't adjusted the CAS or tps or idle screw yet.
I'm going to try and get a video of it running/idling tmrw before I drop the tranny to replace the clutch.
My new one was too big, but I thought I'd try it anyway... bad idea.
Mmmmmmmm, rotary.

Edit: I meant to throw in that I swapped the engine in saturday, and finally got all the vac lines, wiring, etc. right today.
Rebuilt, 30k mile engine....

 

a rotary running well is smooth like butter. You can stand right next to one and barely hear it idling

 

Lol, I revved it to 3k once and it was sooo smooth compared to the 96' impala SS I've been driving.
Right now I've got the exhaust off and I can't really hear anything except ... that exhaust note.

 

The last performance car I owned before rotaries was a 67 Firebird with a lightly modded V8....talk about a difference!!!

Hell now that I mention it, I kinda miss hearing my exhaust echo off buildings while idling at lights.

 

Just got a clean 91 vert n rebuilding da motor ( Damn coolant seals ). Its just a na rebuild with some porting. Hope it last a while (fingers crossed) lol. Also doing some stance coilovers. Kinda off topic but also rebuilding my fd as well. Oh the life of owning rotaries, FML hahaha..........

 

Just found out today the fc I bought needs a rebuild, 0 compression in the first rotor and only about 30psi in the 2nd. I just need to find out what I need for the rebuild as I don't really want to buy an entire rebuild kit if I don't have to

 

Hope you got a good deal on the car

 

got the car back from the paint shop now i gotta clean it a get the motor rebuilt, finished up the suspension and brakes, then drive it !

 

damn there are a lot of us with down FCs' hahaha its sad and should be a sign for all of us to love different cars :p (yeah right! nothing beats a beautiful rotory)
i was gonna do a rebuild but dont have the time nor the place to do it. so found what appears to be an amazing deal on a s4 T2 shortblock. so buying that swapping parts and putting new gaskets on and dropping in. hopefully will be running by the end of march.

 

...not with a 3 inch single pipe and no cats

brap brap brap brap

 

Rebuilding my 88 Vert. tURBO 11 trans and rear LSD. So far engine rebuilt 91 TURBO Big port, super seals , pinned, 3 inc downpipe. Just Purchased Master power GT45. WAITING TO BUY MICROTECH, Wastegate.
