I am in need of help with a 1989 turboII, it was practically gifted to me for $400, the car is spotless and it came with zeal coilovers. BUT... The engine bay is empty and I do not know where to start , if anyone can take a look and guide me I would be grateful. Lunch and beer included!

 

contact Japan2LA on here and get a engine/trans from him.

why was the motor pulled? is the trans/diff/axles still there? i doubt its there, but engine harness? ECU?

 

Yes, the tranny and differential are there, so is the ECU and engine harness. The engine harness is stripped of all insulation/protection and missing a few connectors though.

I received the engine disassembled, not sure what is missing. The engine was pulled because of the rear rotor blew due to fuel cut.

Here are my concerns:

1. What is missing from this disassembled engine and if its worth rebuilding? (housing conditions, plates, etc)

2. Tranny/axle/differential conditions

Basically need someone that knows their **** to assist me, becaue Im a noob to the Rotary world.

 

Take some pictures of the housings and rotors and post them up here.

 

what are you worried about with the trans and diffy? drain ur fluids and observe color and if anything falls out. Fine particals like dust/sludge is normal, if it falls out like chunky milk its a concern and if it clogs enough u gotta pull it apart and you find chunks that you can read part numbers off of then its F'ed up! Check your CV boots on ur axles for tears/cracks.


Do what silverbulltrt02 said and post some pics up.

 

Shoot me a PM. If you're off tomorrow I may be able to come by to take a look. I'm just over in Schererville.
