took my BRE apart, one rotor and housing is pristine, perfect even.. the other.. I've never seen one so chewed up in my life! however the important end housings are untouched..

What i'm looking at is either the REW or BT rotors, which is the closest fit to the BRE? also the housings, which would be better given the rather large ports on the BRE ? REW or BT ? I'm angling towards the BT rotors in REW housings with the BRE end/center plates ?? any thoughts on this ?

oh and for those with BRE's what rebuild kits did you get ? BT or REW?

 

bt rotors in rew housings and gre plates is a good set up use the bre e-shaft with counterweights and match the rotor balance codes......
reuse as much bre parts as much as possible ...
buy cosmo lower and upper intake gaskets ...buy 87 na engine rebuild kit for viton coolant seals etc

i thought you had a running motor?

 

I do have a running motor , it's in the car right now running around quite happily.. THiers a TII at the junkyard that I'm going after today.. I'm going to take the shortblock and tranny with the 5spd parts for ta conversion.. hopefully the yard doesn't try to bend me over for it.

which counterweights I've got S5 NA and bre weights.

i checked out the rotors after I cleaned off the carbon build up and as it turns out both are useable.. the blown one has a small little dint @ 1mm deep outside the main combustion area but other then that it loks good.

 

just wondering if you happen to have any extra BRE parts , ?Im looking for the elbow off the TB ..Please pm me if you can help

Thanks in advance
