Well for my quest for "power " and the love of working on rotarys, ive decided to rebuild my 66k mile core i had laying around, the engine will be streetported for the hope of 180-200 RWHP.. but today i did most of the measuing to see if the parts are in spec and most all of them are!!!.. also this rebuild i WILL be attempting to use RA coolent seals again, i wanna show them who is boss(and there cheaper hehe) but itz gonna have Ra apex(possibly 3mm) and ra o ring set, atkins thermal pellet, Fd cornner springs, possibly new side seal springs.. the core engine all the irons and rotors were well in spec, 1 rotor housing is great the other is bad from severe chrome shipping(new, used replacements on order) well just sit back and enjoy the pics, u know i allways have alot..

Bad rotor housing with severe chome chipping


Side Seal measuring


Corner seal measuring


Damm Sharp parts lol


Measuring the oil control rings


Apex Seal springs


all parts bagged and organized

 

you have shitty hand writing

 

hey, wouldent u expect that with my horrible spelling skills????

 

hahaha, probably
but dont worry, we do the same thing...
except people want your **** when you do it
you can bust a nut at half of this forum member's eye and they will still let you **** them with no rubber

 

haha, i allready have a little update, ive been reading that people are reusing RA coolent seals and i have 3 left still good so i email RA asking if they will sell me one if so then that will save me some cash~~!!

 

damn felix, do u ever sleep??? lol

 

sounds like a nice engine your gonna have hope it go's good the rest of the way

 

felix your my hero, i wanna BP my engine, then put on that nasty turbo :p

 

my goal waz to go to bed at 12 tonight, but um itz like ummmm 4 am and im still up o well..

But damm im excited about this engine!!! i can taste the powaHHHH

 

another update

i just ordered kahren's stage 1 street port template.. the same one that is making 195 at the wheels ... so im pretty excited!!!

 

Any reason why you're going 3mm?
That just kills power due to inferior sealing.
There's no reason to go 3mm on an NA application - the 2mm will give you better power!

thanks Reted for shedding some light on that subject.. i was really unsure on the subject, i just figured they would take more time to wear out so there for they would last longer.. but the goal is power on this engine so i will deff go with 2mm

thanks

Dustin

 

i also used kahrens templates... they are nice

of course they'll be different than yours, but the TII templates are real nice

 

for real i dunno how u do it, with as much as your on this forum how do u still find time to do all the work on your car that your always posting...i wish i could stay up all nite working on my car all the time but the teenage years are gone the real world sucks

 

props mang

jesus ..... i have a spare engine at my folks house that i wanna tear apart, just to see if i can get close to rebuilding it ... let alone rebuilding 3 times in less than a year

 

in the last pic .....

is that a sesame seed bun at the bottom there?

 

I also noticed he left the "T" off the word Short in the second to last pic.

 

pointless

 

And your last two posts weren't?

 

Half the time he's on his laptop from the garage posting while doing the work heh.

 

im doing my first rebuild and streetport at the same time. i probably have fubared the entire thing as far as the porting goes but when i get it back together it will have more power if it runs hehe
