Looking for a professional engine builder in VA!!!
I have tried to build my own engine for the past year and it has not been purrdy. The engine starts and runs fine, but for some reason it likes to burn oil and smoke its tail off. Im gonna start competing in drift events this summer and I need a reliable built engine that can handle 400hp+. Can anyone lead me in the right direction.

Dont know if the eccentric shaft is modded.
Ill check compression today
car runs and drives but it smokes a little too much for my desires.
Im looking for a competetive engine for 2011 and i wont mind the help. Here is the build thread of how i built the engine and car. Send me a quote via pm for a break down and inspection of the short block to see whats wrong with it.

To the OP: I know he can be busy at times, but maybe give some thought to Ray @ PFSupercars up in Fredrick, MD. I know he has done some really nice work for Ernie T.

Thanks Mike. I'm talking to Miami now about the particulars of the build.
For those unaware, we offer a one year warranty against assembly/porting-related defects on all engines. We also have a stock of nice used rotors, irons and rotor housings to offer customers if they have damage and going new isn't in the budget.
Lately the majority of builds have been 400-500 rwhp single turbo setups, and one that we're porting now is for a full-blown road race track car

There are a few catz that do it out here in VA, but piece of mind is what I want.
Vosko how is your FD coming?
My engine is not blown and i just want someone with a rotary background better than mine to take a close look at it. Goodfellas could be that person very soon if the weather wasnt 20*
. Gotta try to convince the wife to let me use some of that income tax refund money

Mine still has te stock torsen also. I wanted to get the motor stuff done, so i can move into building the roll cage and other safety item before this summer. I put it up for sale for the time being, but im still gonna go forth with trying to fix it.

yup..I only did two events making 425hp 330tq.
First time out on the car. A hell of a lot different than a 200hp 240sx

The plan is to install the restrictor on the turbo an run a -10 return line.

I should know something really soon "goodfellafd3s". Im re-doing my feed line and return line from the turbo to give it one last go at it tomorrow. If it doesnt stop or a least minimize the smoke coming out...il definetly be sending it your way. I will need it back in about 2 months if I end up pulling it..

If there is no oil in the throttle body then it's not the turbo oil feed line.
That leaves three possible problems.
1.) If you ported the irons the intake ports are violating the oil control ring path.
2.) The oil control ring spring(s) are backwards
3.) A oil control ring o-ring is compromised
I'd check those oil control ring springs carefully and make sure they're facing the right way relative to the direction of the rotor's rotation.
If you feel comfortable taking the engine apart I wouldn't give up.
Have you watched the Pineapple Racing videos?
