well it looks like I popped a rear apex sea ltoday, will know he true damage when I get the header off.....more to follow

 

Get used to it. GL on the next one.

Juuuuussttt so you know. There is a $400 junk yard 5.3L stock shortblock turbo running 8.9s in an FB if you are a drag racer.

 

Jesus H. Christ!! Let it go tweak. There are some of us that really like our cars. Find out how it all went down before you try to stuff a piston engine in it. Just because you could not make it work for you or bend it to your will does not mean it is junk.

OK. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

As I said before bro' I have your fresh engine sitting on my workbench. Right now.

 

Lol. I am not religious, but, you mad bro? Have a bad day? Need a hug? What does that have to do with if you like your car? I like cars too.... Never said it was junk... You really seem mad.

I really just thought an FB that runs sub 9 second quarter miles on a $400 engine was cool. I didn't hold a gun to his head and tell him to ditch the rotary or request that he post pictures of his sister in the shower. Semma down nya, semma down.

Let us know what's busted. If it's just an NA, at least your turbo isn't trashed.

 

ok boys,
Jesus, will have the short block ready tomorrow nite and call you. Tweek, I AM GOING TO BUILD MY ROTARY. nuf said

 

It just really irritates me that every time someone has engine trouble, that is your first comment. Just gets a bit tiring really. Oh well, can we be friends again now that I have vented?

 

all the drama............give it up

 

Lol, I'm always friends with anybody, even if they are rotarded. If you ever met me in person you would know that. <3s

I hope you have better luck with the next one.

 

How many miles were on the motor, out of curiosity?

 

unknown. was a gsl-se pull out been driving it since January, prolly, 3k miles, dam this sucks

 

3k miles? ... I get more life out of my oil :-\

 

But this one's being built by Jesus...

I think he ment that the engine was pulled out of a GSL-SE with unknown mileage and he had put an additional 3k on it in his car.

Rebuild, and do it right. I just so happen to have a pair of next to new GSL-SE rotor housings taking up space in my garage if you are in need. I would let them go for less than half the price of bran spakin new ones.

 

Tweak I <3 your sig. Still rotarded though

 

Lol thanks. I just thought of it today out of the blue. Thought it was pretty clever if I do say so myself. Will most likely get removed by the admins though.

I wouldn't have you any other way bud! Would be boring if everyone always agreed on everything.

 

It makes me keep thinking of Mazda's quote that the 16X is on par with their 4-cyl fuel economy...
If I can afford it [properly installed] I'll be all over that swap ^_-

 

Tweak, post your pay pal I will send you $400 and I expect a running 5.3 V8 turbo installed asap so my FB can run 8's.

 

Crazy! especially considering we just saw you on Saturday. So whats the plan, going to rebuild the GSL-SE block or something different? You could step up to a FC block now since you are going to rebuild route anyway.

 

Ls1Tweak@hotmail.com, mark as gift for no paypal fees. Thanks.

 

Thats my song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kinda sounds like a rotary revin at 12000

 

Sounds like he's already got a line on an engine and may be porting it up.

Told him to make sure and take pics.

 

dropped off engine last nite at Armyofone's. Going to rebuild this one and do some minor port work. looks very promising to be done in short order. As my dd will need to move quickly.

Someone got called out and never answered.

But on a serious note, I have no issues what so ever with swapping a rotary out of a 7 and putting anything else in it. This is a rx7 forum where the majority are rotorheads so the constant, repetitive and predictible V8 comments are getting annoying.

 

i gotta say, just saw your engine. how the hell was that thing running in the first place is what i wanna know. looks like 2mm seals in the 3mm rotor!!!!!!!! that was an amazing engine to run as long as it did.

 

... I posted my paypal, he never sent the money...
