Well it is time... I want to go half bridge and with all the new builders out there these days.... Who is the best for the job? i want a solid motor so i need a quality job done. i was leaning towards Pinnapple but there is a 10 week back up cuz the best is under demand lol So now im considering other avenues let me know your opinons. and or if you know someone who has one sitting around i'd be interested in that too!

 

i heard BDC builds a wicked half bridge

 

Who is BDC?

 

search his name he a forum member

 

every decent builder in the US is backed up for months right now, i suggest you just pick one and get in line and be patient.

 

yeah that is what im thinking... but i thoought i would give this a try.. maybe someone knows a secret master builder lol hahahaha

 

r&r rotary lol?

 

does that mean Rotary Reserection?

 

No, he's talking about R&R Rotary in Upland, CA. The shop's main mechanic's dad built me a great street port motor. He's been putting rotaries together for 20 or so years from what I gather. I beat the **** out of it, almost 4000 miles so far and it's been great to me You can look up their contact info on the web.

 

wow i just called them and there really nice.. and so far they seem to have the best turn around. Ryan is going to get back at me with a quote on a whole new setup so this look promising so far so good!!!!

 

RX7Store in Ohio built mine. So far its lasted almost 2000 miles, many of those were boosting.

 

Tell them Mike with the silver FD sent you

 

O for sure the next time i talked to him i will tell him and when the name RX7Store comes up right after that big $$$$ come up...

 

if you are wanting a half bridge you should contact BDC aka Brian Caine.

he sends you about 20 high resolution pics of his ports and after looking at them you don't want him to assemble them into a motor, rather you want to put them on your mantle. Brain did my ports (raceport not bridge). brian has developed the half bridge and has many of them making big power. he is an excellent tuner and a good guy.

Toss me a PM; I am not backed up other than a tuning trip I'm taking to Alabama here pretty soon. I'll get you some more information on what I do.

Chris Rogers hands down!!! are you sure you want a have bridge? there are people that can make globs of power on stock ports. i just had chris do a street port to help for spool up. yet this will not take away from engine life. i would not go with a half bridge unless your just tracking the car.

 

why would a half bridge negatively effect reliability?

it doesn't....

 

last i remembered that "eyebrow" was in a place where you had to make sure it was PERFECTLY positioned so that the corner seal and/or apex seal wouldnt plop out. you have to have some kind of percentage of metal contacting that area. . . that means extra wear since it partially drops into the port, then raises back up when it hits the closing port wall. however, i know there are a lot of people that run their HB's for quite some time. hehe, the reliability factor probably has more to do with the extra throttle time the engine experiences.

 

Well i went with R & R Rotary there in prossess of building the motor as we speak. I have several friends localy that are loving there half bridge and no its not a daily driver it will be my weekend/track car. Will see how it goes. this so far is my only project and my hobby. im just having fun with it. So will see the results. IF it blows up its not the end of the world!!! lol hahaha
