I have talked to a lot of people, and they are indifferent as far as what to do with my motor. Some say send it to pineapple, others suggest doing things locally, some say get a reman and just put it in and you'll be fine....I cant decide, cuz there are pros and cons to both.

WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO. Ive made numerous posts about options and what I should do, and a big thank you to those of you helped and replied, because at the very least it has helped my indecisive *** narrow down options to less than before.

I know Im supposed to know where I wanna go with the motor, performance wise, and I do. I want to be able to run stock configurations for now, while also having possiblity of running single turbo later on. Someone suggest something that is finite, and a solid answer, and why. OK, hopefully Ill be able to make a decision soon. THX for the patience and concern to post, Im really a newbie with this rebuild process and am worried that something is gonna go wrong, and Im going to have to start all over again. No pressure in making the wrong decision or anything.

im going to say it again...you are very near one of the top engine builders in the country. go visit nick at rotary reliability and racing. talk to him and louis. they have a two year warrantee...fair prices...and are close.

they are very good at maintaining customer relationships and i am very happy with their service. if they do your motor they will know your car very well...which is a good thing to have locally when the need arises.

if you go out of state you will have to pay to ship it out of state if a problem arises.

nick built my motor and took very good care of my machine for the past three years when i needed him. If i were living where you are now Id not go anywhere else.

tripoint is also local but you will get charged for those prices.

remans are a risk...ask louis and nick...they have had a grip of problems with reman motors...as have many people on the forums.

just go talk to nick...you will find out just like I did that both he and Louis are amazing when it comes to these cars.

7148398018 is rotary reliability and racing

they have a website i think...its old..but take a peak at some of the motors on that site. good lookin stuff for sure. www.rotaryracing.com

If you are very mechanically inclined and have tools/ spare time, I say build it yourself. No one else will put as much effort into it as yourself. I unfortunately didn't take this route and am paying big time now, car hasn't run since Oct. 2001.

If not practical for you to do it yourself, I agree with Artguy. Its better to have a local person build and install so they can be responsible for the way it runs in the end. Nick (rotary reliability and racing) built me and my friends 3 or 4 different street ported motors in the late 80's-early 90's for 1st gens. Mine lasted about 125k mi and my best friend's motor still runs with well over 100k.

Good luck,
Jack

If you have the extra $$ go for a street port and inproved cooling passages. That will let you run close to stock and will do you well with a single turbo.

If you don't have the $$ right now, just get a reman, and you will be no worse off than you were before. You willb e albe to run stock - obviously, and you will still be able to run a single, you just won't be as fast.

But go talk to a real shop (or several) - and they will help you make your decision. No need to have your mind completeley made up in advance.
