have you guy seen this:
http://www.jhbperformance.com/products/rotorhousing.php

I started to read all the posts but 52 pages is to many....
so what do you think of this stuff?

 

I just ordered a set of rotor housings from JHB, they will be in the car in two weeks. I will report back.

 

^^ if you had read thru the posts, youd have seen that that has been discussed already.

when you get them let me know what you think.
I'm guessing it would be best to port your housings before you send them in?

 

Well, I need a quick turn around time so I will be porting after and Marc(JHB) says it is fine. FYI JHB will be setting up CNC machine in the near future to do porting. They can port now too but the old fashioned way.

 

Like Pat said JHB's coatings have been discussed already, look back a few pages and you will find pics of the testing that they performed. Here is a thread of someone who just got their housings back from JHB https://www.rx7club.com/rotary-car-performance-77/plasma-cement-ceramic-coatings-first-impressions-389435/
Scalli's coating is different from the one that JHB offers. From what I understand once they get everything completely set up and going full time they will accept core housings and send you a set of pre-coated housings. Or if you have housings that have already been ported and want them resurfaced they will coat them, it will just take a little longer.

Barely, I am sick right now No updates and I am really curious on how things are going with the JHB stuff?

 

i know you have some cool project goin, Scalli. when you get better, tell us about it, this forum is getting boring....

hey steiner, shoot me a PM and tell me how that turbo class you were taking turned out...I finally get to take a cool class next semester... IC Engines to this really cool south african fella.

Eh, get better man. You guys all settled down in the new shop? Pat, I feel the same way about the forum being boring as of late. I didn't get a chance to take the turbocharging class, had to hash out a couple extra physics, and a couple extra emch classes. The internal combustion engines class sounds fun. Let me know how in depth they go, I have a book on IC engines, but haven't had the time to get back to reading it. I've been talking with a couple grad students I met at the cigar shop, and one of them just picked up a job at GE in Greenville south carolina, so I'll be seeing him. Guys a genius just got his PH.D in combustion engineering in land based turbine engines. Designed and produced his own fuel injector. He's gonna try and get me a personal tour at the GE plant. Sounds like I'll have a fun summer afterall.

just subscribing to this thread b/c i am looking for options for my 12a engine.

 

? Hello ? Anyone out there? Sorry guys to revive this post, but its to good to let go. Being a machinist I loved this post.

 

JHB is doing my front, intermediate and rear plate this week. Marc is a great guy to deal with, can't waiat to see the finished product.

It's nice that he's only a 15 min drive from my house

 

I am also having both of my housings recoated by jhb, so i'll post back here with some feedback also.

 

Which cermet you getting? A or B? Curious... Thanks!

 

I have been reviewing this thread for about a week, and great job everyone!

Anywho, only one question. What do you do about the tension bolt hole? Obviously there isn't any room for the bolt now... do you just not put the bolt in?? I remember seeing that someone made a very "strategic" bolt, but forgot where the pics were. I just remember seeind it, and the word "strategic" was used like 10 times. But it was basically a bolt ground into the shape of the tube, so it would fill the tension bolt hole, but... then a tension bolt coulden't go through the hole, which leads me back to question number one. Thanks for any answers...later

 

I don't really know how this got posted there, but it was intended for scalliwag's making PP housings page, srry...

 

is there any new news on scallis.. respraying..also anything on jhb..I'm sending my rotor housings next monday

 

Yeah, I was disappointed this thread sort of died out a while ago as well. His work was really interesting, and always a good read.

 

any new news?

 

wow this is awesome......why didn't I ever see this thread sooner???
Wow..

 

why id dthis thread die

 

Because Scalliwag has dissappeared from the forums for unknown reasons

 

what ever happened here? any news on the resurfaced housings. i made need something like this

 

this thread has been dead for a long time, unfortunately. however, you can get resurfaced housings, albeit of a different type and higher cost, at www.jhbperformance.com
