Justanother7 2nd time is a charm build

Well after losing thousands of dollars with Zn performance, and getting a crappy engine build and tune from Zavier. I was ready to throw in the towel and do an different engine swap. But family and friends all knowing how much i love rotaries, said that i will not be happy with going that route. They were 10000% correct so i agreed with them and went full steam ahead........

Pulled the engine pre winter with a good friend

Shook Motorsports is awesome, met them at the Evolv BBQ couple years back.

Can't wait to see it finish, cause we don't have enough BB :p:

I agree shook motorsports is awesome, he takes his time making sure its perfect when he installs something or during the engine build. What a Huge difference from dealing with zavier "ZN Performance"....

Highly recommend Shook hands down

OP, i'm wondering why you're using hylomar on the legs of the housings and irons instead of sealant.
any input?

Thanks for the pics. They look awesome! I noticed in the previous photo you got the 85A stiffness, please let us know how you like them once you get the car on the road. Ever since I saw the FFE engine mounts I wanted a pair...now I'm just debating whether I should get the softer or stiffer durometer...hmm

I also noticed you used the middle hole one the bracket. I believe the top hole is the stock height, right? And they go down in 0.5 inch increments...are you using an oil pan brace?

I will give you an update once i get on the road mid april.

I believe the center hole was stock height, but i will end up using the lower hole. Because the Cosmo intake sits higher than the stock intake.

Yes i'm using an oil pan brace too.

Really excited with how this build is going :nod:
