My engine rebuild (Pics)

After blowing my motor . I went crazy and saved and saved since im only 16 it was very hard getting this money for it. Worked like crazy but i eventually got the money for it. Still got lots to do but ill update as I go along. I got alot of help from Eriksseven and wanna thank you bud.

My setup consist of:

S4 n/a rotors on 11 psi
Street port
RC 750cc injectors
Rtek 1.7
Generic clutch
Atkins rotary 2mm apex seals,sides, corners, etc
Thats all I can think of for now

Looks like you used non turbo rotor housings also. But they still work anyway. I noticed the front and rear rotor housing are flipped. I also love pictures and I think you did a good job, it's better to do it yourself than have one of these "rotary gods" trying to scare you from doing it.


Awesome! Let us know how the engine feels when you get it running.

When you painted the engine did you primer it first or just paint it directly ?
Also did you use heat treated paint or regular spray paint ?

By the way nice job. Keep up the good work.

I can't wait to rebuild my own engine, which will probably have to be soon, my NA has about 212000 on the clock

I use brake cleaner and a toothbrush and sometimes a wire brush took me forever to clean them since my motor was leaking oil everywhere. I used the heat treated paint Dupli Color Engine Enamel 1200 degrees paint.

heh, i didn't even notice that.

have you thought about where your coolant feed will come from for your turbo? you will need to drill through the passage on the rear rotor housing to access coolant for your turbo.
