humm ic , but do they do this for cars ? and do they put the platic lining inside like radiator shops do ?

 

Hey Alex, my bf suggested this treatment for your gas tank:

http://www.por15.com/bSPECIAL-Quart-...2&category=180

 

I was wondering if you guys know if I could take a 3rd Gen 13bTT and drop it in a 1991 GXL and if I could beside the wiring harness and all the essentials what else would need to be done for it to fit correctly?

 

yep a 13brew fits straight in but i would suggest using the fc tranny oppose to the fd and i would also go single turbo and run a standalone , this would have to be tunne as well so you can contact eh339 she can give you her bf shop info he tunned rx.

 

eh339 thanks again ill give that a try its a duel step simms interesting and not to costly.

 

thanks a ton boriqua and I was thinking of going the single turbo route anyways sounds like a good idea thanks

 

no problem if you need any help with the build up or doing this tranplant let me know.

 

deff! I guess all you guys here in this thread are going to be my go to guys there is a guy that i Have been chatting with that has a 91 GXL in NY and I am gonna look into it more and maybe take a trip down there and check it out.

Hey boriqua why would you suggest the FC tranny over the FD i am gonna guess for tranny mounts? # 2 what would be some good mods I should start with I know right now I have heard about apexi seal and I am gonna upgrade those to the 3mm and yes I know this deals with taking the engine apart but that is ok I like to tinker and such I am trying to get my first ASE cert so this will help. Other then that I am hear to learn I love the rotary engines and I want to know all I can about them


thanks guys

oh yes and my name is Tim so you all don't have to keep calling me grade lol

 

Tim,
I am in the same boat as you as far as liking to tinker around with motors and such, but be careful with the rotary. Some specialized tools are required for teardown/buildup. The seals your speaking are "apex" seals. Apexi is a brand of aftermarket parts. Porting the motor is a great mod as well as the beefed up seals! I would assume that boriqua suggests using the 2nd gen tranny because of the mounts for one, also possible for the linkage part of the housing as well. I used a GSL-SE tranny in my second Gen and had to modify the shift linkage to get it into the proper place top side.

 

I know the irons are in good shape but I do not have a way to measure the tolerance on the housings. Yes, the motor is completely apart. I was thinking of buying a rebuild kit from Atkins or possible from Malloy. I have never done the porting or even know what it realy consists of. What I do know is that it entails removing material from the exhaust and intake ports. I am sure this is not an easy task.

 

hi tim. as far as the tranny of the fd they have issues with the sinchros the fc t2 tranny has better gear ratios and allows you to rev engine or higher rmps on gears giving you better power band also the tranny mound bolts righ up to your gxl oppose to the fd you have to be creative. as far as mods i would start by street port on the engine getting rid of the twin set up and go with single turbo here in this company you can get a great deal on single set up for the fd http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...o_1939_8562777 this set up should give you up to 450hp or more with good tunning also i would go with a standalone unit like a microtec lt8-s or even the lt10 but the lt8-s would do . as far as the porting you can get templates from many companies like pineapple racing ,rotaryshack http://www.advancedrotaryperformance.com/ this guy makes great templates so i highly recomend this one he makes a less agresive on the primary and more aggresive on secondaries so it keeps good low torque on the low end and great mid and high end power.

 

forig . as far as tolerances if the apex werent tored up and the bearings are intact i would not concern myself with tolerance, if the seal that were there intact the tolerances are fine. if you want pm me and lets meet so i can see this engine .

 

tim i also forgot to mention to upgrade fuel system and injectors.

 

Thank you both boriqua and foreignracer and lol I mean "apex" seal not apexi lol. I have an apexi N1 Muffler on my 88 grand Am with I only did cause I thought it was cool that GM made a I4 Turbo charged back then (I never Knew they did) but anyways thank you both for the great info will be a big help down the road. Boriqua what web site is that the has the single turbo setup for the FD and what would you suggest for primary and secondary injectors on a set up like that? I want to try to make this car a sleeper also keep it looking clean and stock. Porting is what gives the rotary that mean loppy idle like camming a convention piston engine?

 

phoneix turbo is the web they have great prices on the turbos. for injectors you can go with the stock priamaries 550s and go with 1680s on secondaries. http://cheapturbo.stores.yahoo.net/

 

I got my t04s from cheapturbo before they became phoneix turbo, great prices and service

 

thanks boriqua you have been a huge help! I am gonna do lots of research right now I am aiming on making the 91 a fun daily summer car 450 to the rear tires would be very fun can't go wrong there lol.

 

hey guys we got to keep this thread alive it is dying lol! I was wondering if there is anyway I could meet up with some of you guys and check out your sweet 7's?

 

Sure!

damn! got my rear end pulled from my TII today. not my favorite thing to do, but its done. ready to swap fuel tanks now too. hopefully it'll be registered on wednesday, then just gotta get inspected, plenty more to do to after that though......

My car is ready to run except for 4 hose clamps, and a few feet of vac line to hook up my wastegate

however i lost my plates (in my room somewhere) and have to find a place to give me a sticker.. (atmospheric dumped wastegate can cause problems even when there not open )

 

every year i wonder if im gonna be turned down for a sticker cause of my exhaust, but it hasnt happened yet, so keepin the fingers crossed......

 

Really? i get bitched at about that before its in the shop, im sterotyped with the civic's cus of the mufflers out back. under the car though i have a borla xr1 and a randomtec 3" cat too

 

yeh, its all about the stereotype, plus they see it they automaticaly dont like it, ive been told "well i really shouldnt be passing this...." and it the look more than the sound i think sometimes, and im just runnin a bonez 2.5" downpipe, bonez hi-flo cat. and dual apexi N1s

 

but this is the NH law/rule on vehicle exhaust equipment:

http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/...266/266-59.htm

the third paragraph, 266.59 III was repealed in 2005, and that was the law that stated ALL exhaust systems other than OEM were ILLEGAL...
