thanks! i went to i.f.o. wanting to see some racing but that didn't work out but i did meet a couple rx7 owners that were there to race & counted 4 rx7 's

I know how you feel. I have been slowly trying to make mine better looking than it is, but it hasn't worked out too well for me so far... Just waiting for the funds to do what I want to do to it.

Guys, I need some help. Katy and I bought a used rotor off some guy on here, and we need a second opinion on whether to use it or not. Wondering if anyone has rebuilt/knows about rotary engines to come look at this rotor, and give some advice. I'm looking to do it ASAP, later today or tomorrow.

I have already told him I wanted to send it back, but the PMs are getting nasty, so if I can possibly get by with it, it would be better. Please PM me and I will dish out my phone # to contact me.

I am located in Orange Park, but am willing to meet up pretty much anywhere. Sorry for the short notice. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks
-Patrick

DUde. U cAnt just go buying a rotor.................
Rotors have different weigts. I think there is A,B,C weights. And different compression ratios.

Besides that the rotating assembly has to be balanced together.
Meaning. You can rebuild a motor with its original rotating assembly and not have to balance it.

You change anything from the balance weight,rotor,E-shaft. And you CANNOT rebuild without balancing the rotating assembly first.


But i have heard of people that know how to match the rotors By A,B,C.. Your best bet is to call driving force.

I agree, your best bet is to talk to Norm at Driving Force Ph# 722-1200, he can tell you everthing about a rotary

I appreciate the info, but I do know what is needed, and I have done my research. The rotor is the right weight range, and it is also the right compression ratio. I just need someone to take a look at it to see if the damage is beyond reusable.

To enlighten you, S5s have a higher CR (9 to 1) vs S4 (8.5 to 1), so no, you cannot mix and match S4 and S5 rotors.

The weight rating, on the other hand, CAN be mix matched, to an extent. Weight ratings range from A all the way to E, with B and C being the most common weight ratings. Rotors can be matched no more than one weight rating apart, ex A to a B, or, C to a D or B.

No one has any experience in rebuilding besides shops?

When u said that u can use weight one letter apart. Yes that is true. But the guy that told me this--- seems to never keep his engines running more than a year. Probably cause he never uses EMS' and always has some hood Puerto rican way to get around tunning fuel/ignition.

But yes, You have done your research. But take that rotor to driving force, he will tell you if its good or not.

Yous should post a picture of the rotor in question. If its bent pretty bad around the apex seal area its probably trash.

Ps. I have some rebuilding experience. I have torn down a engine and i know how to put one together-- just never done it. Cause my last rebuildproject was tossed due to half the block being trash. Rebuild videos are the ****.=)

I have in front of me the DIY-RE 13B 4 DVD rebuild set.

But they say in this rebuild DVDs that you can use up to one letter apart, so I'm pretty confident that the one I have will work. I guess I will swing by a shop and have them look at my rotor.
