Yes, it is SR Motorsports' 11-lb flywheel, instead of their 9 lb. I thought it would give me a little more drivability without significantly reducing the light flywheel benefits. The SR seems to be a very nice piece with a replaceable friction plate (like the RB).

I hope so...I'm anxious to get the car broken-in and get those things workin'.

Heh, nothing fancy, but the brand new rotor housings look nice, huh?

 

congrats rynberg! not much longer now...

 

Good to see some more progress.

Hopefully that Vaseline isn't also for when it's time to sign the check!

 

That looks like the same flywheel I have. I definitely felt a difference after replacing the heavier stock flywheel. No problems with it in over two years. Good choice!!

 

Great to see some real progress rynberg. The motor looks great. I too am also anxious to see that thing all done and finally working at its full potential. Good luck with everything left man.

 

Yep the new rotor housings look great. Got new housings as well, when i got my engine built. Well worth it.Expensive as hell though.

Did you get a new oil pressure sender as well?? If so, how long did you original one last?

 

Yeah, besides what I've been told on the forum, Rick says I'll love the flywheel...Almost done, Adam....

Thanks.

New everything pretty much...oil pump, etc. I can't remember if the sender's ever been replaced or not, maybe when I first got the car.... Your engine looks good too!

Actually, I was HOPING that he had enough Vaseline left over....

 

Hey, at least they are a matching color!

 

Patiently waiting for news...

 

Me too!

It looks like my car may be done by Tuesday....then it will be time to break her in, get the PFC tuned, install the new coilover setup, get an alignment, start tuning the coilover setup, install the M2/RaceShop rollbar, buy racing shell and 5-point harness, etc. etc......some year it will be fully ready to go.

 

post pics when your car gets done...wish I could afford the m2 roll bar but ended up buying the kirk roll bar which is on its way...

 

Your roll bar is at powdercoat along with 5 others,Now only 5 more to finish by tuesday

 

Thanks, Larry.

 

Are the BNRs already installed sequentially Tyler? I didnt read the whole thread so my apologies if I missed it somewhere

 

Yes, they are...

I didn't talk to Rick today but he was going to be dropping the motor in today and getting things going. Everything was essentially on the motor on Saturday, ready to go.

As you well know ( ), the break-in period is going to be PAINFUL!

 

Tyler, how long has your car been out of commission? It seems like forever...

 

Just like "jimlab's" car... And I can't wait to see when the both of you are done.

 

re-phrase that to "some decade" with Jim....he's too busy acquirig real estate in Seattle

rotary FD owners, meanwhile, enjoy our superlative NEGATIVE return investment...and that's before we fill up with $3/gallon 93 octane gas (let alone race fuel for some crazies) which is promptly slurped down at 11 mpg

 

Tell me about it...4.5 months this Wednesday.... Hey John, glad to hear you got your car back.

Hey, let's not go THAT far...


Rick got the motor in today and just about everything is hooked up. She should start tomorrow....

In a few weeks, I will be adding another "new" modification -- the daily driver mod. I'm picking up a 95 blue Honda Accord sedan for a daily.

 

who's tuning your Power FC? the almighty Steve Kan or Brian Cain?

 

I would prefer Steve Kan, as he has extensive experience with both BNR Stage 3 twins and the PFC. Brian appears to be an excellent tuner but his experience seems to be mostly with cars running single turbos at high boost on race gas, with Haltechs or Microtechs.

I may also have "Ghetto Dave" tune the car (local guy to Bay Area).

I'll just have to see how the timing works out once the car is broken in. Rick will have the PFC setup with a SAFE map, so tuning should be more of a leaning out a bit/adjusting drivability exercise. I wanted to get a wideband setup going but that's just going to have to wait a while....at SOME point, you have to stop the wallet from hemoraghing.

 

I hear ya man....just picked up my Innovative wideband....it never ends

I also have BNR stage 3s, but used....Mr. David Garfinkle and Bryan are working together to "renovate" them for me (non sequential)

how is Rick determining what is "safe"? do you have a datalogit?

 

Very smart man

 

My seven was also a daily until my recent rebuild extravaganza. I broke down and bought a 96 civic.... it was the best decision I ever made! Good luck getting your car done

p.s. It looks like your going to beat me by about a week as mine should be done in the Monday or Tuesday timeframe.
