the best motor to work...?
well im in the market for a jdm motor, and i had some questions.
since the 87-88 had the lower compression, but the 89-91 had the lighter rotating assy. and better seals, so the question is...which one would be better (from your own experience or others) to make about 350-400RWHP
thanx

i dont think im gonna do a full rebuild, maybe just new seals and a street port. so even though im getting higher compression, the later year is still the way to go? forgive me im somewhat new to rotaries, so if i ask dumb questions, bare with me.

they have lighter, higher comp rotors, hardened stationary gears and a bit more webbing in the end plate around the top dowel.

newer is better
You will find that 89-91 engines when taken apart are farely in better condition internally then 87-88. Plus all the factors that were already posted here... go for the newer 1 89-91

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
I agree the 89-91 motor is a better choice if you are going Jspec, they typically are in better internal condition.
They only thing I like about that motor is the eletrical OMP, but that is rather minor.
