G'day Lads,
Before I go on I would first like to say that I'm not all that literate when it comes to rotory's....Yes I've done all my searchs and what not so fair crack of the whip ey?

Long story short I took my dead stock 1992 Series 6 to a rotory mechanic here in Sydney as my car has a boost leak and that my secondary turbo's arent coming online. Symptons include accerlerating hard then changing gears to find no boost whatsoever. He goes the problem is my Turbo Actuator isn't opening and closing and that when you start the car up its meant to close then as you start to drive, its meant to open gradually, etc.

I'm not after a 1000 word answer on how to solve this but just want to know whether his telling the truth, and whether quoting me $300 to fix is reasonable.

Cheers

 

If that is $300 Australian dollars (which is, what, 57 US cents?), I would just tell the blighter to be done with it, fix it, and forget about it.

Most mechanics could not tell the difference between a turbo control actuator and a wheel bearing, so he does seem to at least have a clue.

 

In the factory service manual (that you can download here) there is a detailed explanation of how all the control units work. Essentially he is correct. Sounds like he knows quite a bit about rotary engines and is qualified to do the work.

 

i'd go with him sounds like his price isnt bad at all.... for a rotary...

 

for an FD, 300 bucks is considered cheap bro.
try owning the car for another 2 years or so. Would cost you arms and legs to fix the car, IF it's got any problems of course. Oh well..that's what happened to me tho..
