So bolted the lower intake up and fit perfect.
So I put the upper intake on and noticed my slave cylinder is in the way of my intercooler pipe.
A long time ago I purchased a slave from eBay which I think is gonna work out perfect.just need to buy a 90 degree fitting and I'm good to go.
Top is the one that gets in the way,which I believe is from a fb.lower was bought from eBay advertised as a rx2 unit.

I forgot to put the boost pressure line to the wastegate,wastegate never opened and over boosted the motor.car still runs but I need to pop start it in gear(won't start with starter)once it turns on its still runs but anything under 1000 rpm it dies out.i did a compression test and it turned up.front rotor 60..55..60 rear rotor 60..65..60.
Yeah so time for engine build.i got 6 real clean spare rotor housings that will finally get to be used.i also got few front and rear irons only thing I might need is center tall port iron and front and rear counter weights.

Sounds like flat springs, chances are rotor housings will be bad from their age
I will pm you.i might need some parts.

That's what I was thinking.usually broken apex seal will not run as good as it does now.(we'll at least once I get it to start lol)
Housings most likely will have chrome missing but no worries I got 6 really clean ones I can make a pair out of.

Pulled the motor and tore it apart.
All corner seal springs are flat,rear rotor had two broken corner seals and front rotor had three broken corner seals.rotor housings were actually real good but too bad one had a broken coolant wall on it.so now I gotta use one of my spare setof rotor housings.
Started porting the steels today,probably finish it the next week.
