blown motor....options for rebuild?
Rick (Ricks rotary) called me today and unfortunately put the hammer down letting me know I had blown 2 Apex seals. This was unfortunately caused by either a bad tank of gas or more likely a poorly tuned power FC, which came in the car when I bought it....just a reminder to those to have your fuel management system checked before you run your new RX!!!
So I have a general plan but would appreciate any input.
As of now my car has an M2 intake, an M2 downpipe, Blitz BOV, PFC intercooler, Blitz catback, Hawker Oddysey battery, power FC...SO what I was planning other than the basic rebuild is a street port, 3mm seals, SR lightened flywheel and ACT clutch package. These are my main goals. However, since I have the motor apart... I'm thinking about going to 1200 cc secondary injectors (should I take the 850 cc stock and make them my primaries?) a Cosmo fuel pump, an aftermarket radiator (WHICH ONE?) new silicone hoses, and an HKS twin power ignition set up. and maybe some engine dress up so it looks good too (any suggestions there would help). That should do it....I think? Do I need anything else...IE new fuel rail, another BOV. free flow cat, Keep in mind, this is a daily driver...I DO NOT DRAG, I want immediate response for auto x and carving up canyon roads and occasionally take it on a race course. HELP! I NEED INPUT, I'M SPENDING A SH**LOAD OF CASH AND I WANT TO DO THIS RIGHT!!!
