staring rebuild:need advise on some items.
Hello everyone,
I have a spare long block 13B-Rew in the basement and after 2 years of having it around I'll be starting the rebuild project. It has an oil to water leak so the teardown will have to point out wether a seal bursted or something else happened.
Goal is to prepare the engine to take a Single turbo when the budget is there. For now it will be built to take a non-seq setup (basically the next step is a single so that makes sense)
In order to do the rebuild properlyI have purcased the 4 DVD set from DIY-Re new zealand and I can advise it to everyone. The factory manual will help me with specs and torques (DVD mentions it as well)
When the mechanical parts turn out to be fine the followng will happen... and this is where I need you guys help:
1. Gasket set: looking for complete set, no apex seals or corner seals. Atkins or Rotary Aviation?
2. 2mm or 3mm apex'es?: considering the fact of few tuners with rotary experience around (Europe)
Which manufacturer to choose? RA? Atkins? Others?3mm requires machining which I need to source a local manufacturer for and I'm not sure who can do it (no rotary experience around
3. matching (solid)corner seals: Pretty sure about the solid part. Not really an Idea why, it just seems logical to me.
4. block off plates: found a complete set for about 80$ (standard item when doing the FULL non seq convertion.
5. non seq convertion according Jimlab's write-up: Need pics of the wastegate door to be cut off etc. Somebody has them? Maybe a link?
6. I have a PFC with Commander. My question here is if I can run the Base map or MOD map as preprogrammed on the non seq set-up? (max 10psi as stock, 12 for mod map??)Or does it need reprogramming because of the deletion of the 10/8/10 pattern?
7. Which injectors? stock primaries (550cc) and 1300 or 1600cc secondaries?? Or do I need 850cc primary as well? I would like to keep idle as normal as possible.
8.INstallation of the RA OMP adaptor to run a separate can of 2 stroke oil.
9. Streetporting. For now I consider to buy Judge Ito's templates. Are these an aggressive port or rather mild?
10. Other mods I consider. (pros and cons of users are very welcome)
-double throttle removal: really don't know about this
-high rpm warm up deletion: strongly considering as I always warm up before driving.
Basic mods already in place: PFC, HKS filters,HKS downpipe 3",Bonez 3" HF cat, 3" throughout exhaust.
Vmount IC setup in progress.
I know this is a lot at ones and feel free to give your advise or comments on any item above. Perhaps I forgot to add a mod which is essential to go with a mod mentionned. Please DO point out.
I HAVE searched the forums (nopistons,rx7club,rob robinette,etc) for a year and continue to do so every day. I'm sure of most things but I'm on the line of making final decisions in buying parts (apex'es etc) and would very much appreciate all the advise.
Many thanks,
Neal
