Hey i have not been in here since half a year. My motor blew up so that's why I have not had a chance to post. What happened is that a o-ring blew and waer got in te front housing. Well I am getting the whole motor rebuild. The queston is what should I expesct from the motor when it is finished. This is what she is getting. Whole rebuild , street port, carbon-alluminium filled apex seals, with the springs that go with them. Balanced and blueprinted 460cc injectors. TII oil pump Type 1 stationary gears, street high performance oil pressure regulator, racing beat lightened flywheel, and a rebuilt transmission. With taht also a fluidyne radiator is going to be put on. I am also getting the a/c removed( thats inclding th compressor). The car already had a hks intake racing beat header and silencer and apex dunk exhaust, and a Stage 2 clutghmasters clutch. What horsepower numbers am i looking at and 1/4 mile times. It's a 1990 GTUs. One more thing how high can I take the rpm's to?

 

Thats my post , I dont know how in the hell REDLINE's name appereared insted of mine, but it di well can you guys answer my question?

 

I thought you have a FD, I'm confused

 

Hey guys im fc3chris Iwas trying to post a thread, since I have not done it in half a year when I was posting tis thread I finished it REDLINE's name came out for some reason .The post is for fc3chris, ME, so dont mind the name, please give me any responses.
P.S. I do know REDLINe I'm sorry about your name coming up instead of mine, if you see this e-mail me

 

 

C'mon guys any answers?

 

 

It should be close to 150-160 @ the wheels!

 

It will be higher than 160. that car made that out of the box. And now he has ported and modded. I would have chosen regular apex seals though. Those carbon ones don't seal worth a **** at low rpms. they are too light. If it isn't too late, get the 2mm steel seals. they are a ton cheaper and seal better for street driving.

 

It made that hp at the flywheel, not the rear wheels. Factor in a 15 to 20% loss to the drivetrain, so around 128-136rwhp for a factory motor.

 

that's pretty good on the reponses guys, yet any more answers from those that know their rotaries?

 

Please guys I need yor nput please!!!!!!!

 

I would think around 14.5 in the 1/4, Bambam 7 has similar mods on his GTU (not "S") and runs those times, he has a little more mods tho, but same basic engine

 

I agree .. 150 - 160 at the wheels. That's from experience seeing a lot of N/A's with quite a few mods. Without a bridge or PP, it's hard to get a lot of power out of them.

Carbon seals are kinda pointless on a streetported N/A. Stock seals are fine. Put that extra $1000 somewhere else.

Get hardened stationary gears while you're at it. Some of the other N/A guys can tell you what you need for high rev engines. But do it right and you can run it up to 10K+ rpm's.

 

??? I always found carbons were about $20 cheaper a set than irons?

 

i recently finished my '85 and built a 13b 4 port/streetport and the dealer tried to bend me over for $82 apiece for the stock gsl-se apex seals. racing beat wanted like 38 bucks apiece for the carbons. after realizing that the carbons would be worthless for street driving b/c of the low rpm sealing characteristics...not to mention the 20k mile life expectancy, i went with the stock seals(safe to 8,500 rpm, i seen it!) from racing beat. chris saved me $20 per seal, so for that, i am forever in your debt....with capital one .

 

The typeI stationary gears that I am getting are hardened, and my mechanic told me the engine will last me another 150,000 miles. Just to let you guys know before the motor blew up, my car had a hks intake, RB header and silencer and two custom blitz nurspec exhaust. My best run was a 14.2. And I do have the time slip for that, so after these mod what do you think? Will I be able to ever run a 13.9 with a n/a. that is my goal! And will it be safe to take the rpm to 10,000?

 

lovely if you got yourself down to 14.2 on the stock ports, 13.9 is not a bad estimation, you may want to consider some stand alone fuel injection, and nos later, you've got some capable **** just dump some pawer into it. not a bad estimation, and yes please rev it to 10,000 but you'll want to modify the fuel curve i doubt the stock injection supports that rpm's, also I've been told tooo many times that you wont make power that high, but hell go for it and let us know.

 

It just goes to show you dont read before you post mighty ! Quit being a *****..damnit

 

I am getting the car on friday guys so I will let you know
