I have a 86 GXL and I love the car, Only problem is I drive a lot and it has 135,000 miles on it now and will put anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 on it next year. I'm also looking for a way to upgrade performance as much as poslible w/o the use of forced induction or Nitrous. I've been looking into Revolution Rotary's remanafactured Upgraded 86 13B to drop into it. At $2,250 and if I decide to return my core it's another 450 dollars less, I think this sounds good. Right now I'm using the Racing Beat cat replacement is my only aftermarket mod.
Has anyone had expereince with Revolution Rotary good/bad and how much performance gain over the stock non-ported engine would I see?

 

Keeping in mind as you view this that I spent 1 hour searching the forum for any questions such as this so try not to yell at me if this question gets asked too many times.

 

I guess no one cares to answer or help out thats cool whatever I'll get the engine anyways just trying to get some help before hand .

 

i would like to help but i havent dealt with them and ive got some major problems of my own

 

I have heard good things about rotary resurection, pineapple racing, and atkins rotary. I do not know of anyone who's used rotary revolution, but I feel they look like a good company, IMHO.

I hav noticed a few posts about pineapple motors dying, but they look like they hold to their waranty as well.

This really prolly doesn't help a whole lot, but I figured I'd throw what I know at you.

 

well it depends on what kinda port you want. on a street port you could get about maybe 20hp if not less, and rotary ressurection does rebuilds for "as low as 1000$" then there is also mazdatrix and as nization said there is pineapple racing. there are alot of places who do rebuilds just look around for whatever suits u

 

Revolution Rotary aka Post Falls Auto is no longer in the Rotary Business. They have an aution on EBAY right now for all their core stock

 

I'll most likely end up having pineapple port it for me. I'm basically looking for the biggest port increase I can get without totally sacraficing my streetability

 

1986, you're in SC......just haul it to www.rotaryresurrection.com trust me...you wont find a better reputation or better prices.

 

For the best balance of reliability & power, I'd go with Rotary Resurrection's street port.
And definitely put a header on it.
Silencer & muffler to taste.
Intake upgrade if budget allows.

 

well SC isn't too far from ohio I could make a vacation out of it or something. Thanks for all the info
