I seem to see more of them being blown up in the hotter months. This was because of overheating.

Apex seals is a different story. They just go

I forgot to note, I haven't blown up one rotary engine in 8 years.

Just my friends have.

I have owned a T2 Jspec and 4 other N/As. I sold every car, and all still run today.

My GTU snapped an apex seal in a parking lot back in late spring. Did a turbo swap and found out the engine I got had corroded housings and ripped it back apart in late summer.

The turbo wasn't technically blown, as it was already on it's deathbed when I got it. This weekend a J-Spec is going in it.
