just a poll. i was wondering the longest/ and shortest (if you wanna tell) life of your rotary. was the blown engine a rebuild or was it original. if a rebuild let us know who rebuilt it. also, what engine was it.

 

(like the new avatar???)

 

Well my engine got swapped with a rebuild at 138,xxx because of a coolant seal. Lets see how long this one lasts. So far so good 300 mile into it

 

Bought a new GTU in '90. Rear rotor blowm at 228,000.
Replaced with a Mazda re-built. Junked it due to Michigan winter salt at 315,000. Replaced with a '90 GXL with 93,000. Now at 114,000 and not a trace of major problem. Kidos to maintained 7's!

 

My previous '88 GXL made it 146k on the original engine, still running great when I sold it. The current '86 Sport just rolled 130k on the original engine, hopefully to be replaced with a TII engine long before it blows.

 

my TII was at 102k when it went. and my mint parts car went at 101k. im goin to get my TII rebuilt, lets hope it'll last that long again.

151k here, no major problems yet.

 

Wow, I didn't know people had this high of mileage on their stock motors. When I got my first broken 7 it had 156k mi on the original motor, which is very high considering the condition of the rest of the car (not to mention the look of the engine itself). Seems like Mazda built a killer motor with a bad rap for dying quick.

I know of at least 10+ Supras (N/A & Turbo) that didn't have more than 100k before the HG blew. I've had Hondas that haven't even made it to 140k.

 

Mines at 90,000 - original motor. Running strong.

 

I've got 128,000 on the original motor in my 10AE. I'm 90% sure i have a blown coolant seal, but hey, who can afford to fix that kind of thing?

 

I've got 169,000 on my 87 na motor. It's the original motor too. It's got some problems like an oil leak which I quite can't find, and is not putting all the power to the ground like it should. (It's got headers single exhaust,and intake) but it runs fine and is a joy to drive.

I did 215k on my old n/a engine still running great when I swapped it for my J-Spec

 

I have 72K on my original engine, runs like a raped ape for now, at least it did beforeI tore it apart to upgrade the entire car over the winter

 

215k.... WOW. now why the hell cant i get an engine like that. (include what engine you have as well)

 

lets just move this to...https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...threadid=12535

 

13k and no problems yet on my 10AE. And for your avatar.... That's one giant ***!

 

my friend has a white turbo II i has 170.000 on the original motor never rebuilt. thats pretty insane

 

178,XXX on my 86 N/A, still running good except for that whole coolant seal problem, which was my fault (let it overheat when I first got it)

She'll still murder the riceboys though

 

1990 Turbo II has 106182 miles The secret is to change your Oil 1800 miles...

 

original engine went at 119,000

a little over 5k on my rebuild now
