I was testing a safty screen, on one motor had some slag come off from a weld in side the intake and taken out the comperssion, the intake was later very well sand blasted in side and out, O by the way the screen cuts the power in hafe

Build your own wankel, then laugh. Fabricators own all you rotard consumers who can only do bolt-on mods.

Can't see beyond the color scheme

Gee, I guess it's really not a fantastic build unless it's all chrome and polish.

Too bad some can't see beyond the color scheme.

Chrome and polish is played out, everyone does that

It's all about being lazy and not painting or polishing ANYTHING on your motor when you rebuild and port it (ie me)

OK. Ive seen a thousand pictures of this motor, and im still not 100% on what it is that Im lookin at. A TT Diesel? some kind of crazy *** old injection system? The what im guessing to be an injection pump looks just lke one off of an old VW Scirroco, but I dont know. care to give us/me some details as to what exactly that thing is?

Dude I'm feeling it, I just paint mine black to match the color of my feelings toward rotary engines.

I'm thinking of painting my next one all black. Picking up an s5 n/a block real soon to build a new engine, bridge on the aux ports with the rest being similar to the ones on the template you sent me (thx again btw!)

Should be a fun build

I think it's pretty cool how Steve has salvaged parts from all kinds of rigs to build his car. So far I have seen parts from an S10, VW rabbit, TII, S4 na, and lots of stuff he fabricated himself. I'll bet he has less $$ in it than the ebay rotary I bought last month.

p.s.

Tanjo, you stated "Ive seen a thousand pictures of this motor...".

I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.
