sorry to hear but at least it made it home before it decided to give up.

Sorry to hear that Tweak......
I remember discussing this boost problem at lunch on Saturday
For photos of your car you can go to one of the many vendors that set up photo opportunities
PM me for details as i do not want to draw the attention of the internet police.
The photos look awesome

If it makes you feel better, i lost one of my headlights coming back on the trailer yesterday. And i ripped out my front bumper coming off the same trailer this morning.
So i too am in a shi**y mood.

time for good ol' Tennessee Sugarmama!!!!

after Kevin (Rotary Resurrection) took it apart for me we found aout 7 (3mm solid corner seals) completely broken and out of the 6 apex seals 1 did survive so i have trashed both rotors and both housings! YAY! :(

Well off to work i go now to keep the rotary dream alive...

That sux. But at least you had a good time and made it back home.

Dude if you dont have a standalone in that car before you put that motor back in I am going to let the locals know that you are hispanic and like imports.. that will start a riot and the mob will lynch you.. think about it LOL

^^^^ lol you loser read my sig.. I have a Haltech E6K installed

TwEaK

and you still popped it??? did you tune it??

no he didn't. he had the laptop riding shotgun with him and he was so worried about overheating that he did not even turn the laptop on! that is some serious carnage on that housing :blush:

now just make sure you build it better than the last one. are you running 3mm seals or 2? let me know because i have some used but in really good conditon 2mm seals springs and corner seals and springs i can sell to you for a good price (1 million trillion :egrin::egrin::egrin:)

keep us posted

ouch.. That's some busted shit.. Is the turbo damaged? I am shocked it drove for 2 blocks! G L on the new build. G

eyah that is a nice FC! what caused the boost spike? if you have haltech you know you could retard the timing and dump extra fuel in teh "boost spike" areas and it may save it next time

actually running 3mm seals and yes next time its going to Rotorsports in NC to get tuned...Not going to be dealing with this stuff again LOL!

what sucks now is paintjob gets put on hold =/ but all good

TwEaK

Best of luck with the build. If you need suggestions on the new build let me know. Right Simon!!

Just out of curiosity, what caused the spike? 50mm is a pretty big gate even if the turbo is that large.

Sheesh dude, blew it already! This is why you get a boost controller and not rely on just wastegate springs alone.... And I see you still got IC pooched way out there >.> At least the wheels look good, though that supra block on the garage floor cant be too healthy.

Dude I kmow how you feel! I crack my rear iron a week before the event... I did a 4th gear pull at 20psi and pop oil every were!!! Its a easy fix just need to replace the rear iron and ill be hitting the streets again....:icon_tup:

My vacuum line was routed on the wrong nipple for the wastegate so it technically wasnt even opening? I guess you live and learn and so fourth but o well should be up and going in a bit? *crosses fingers*

TwEaK

yup you need any recommendations jorge will be more than willing to send you every link you need for every part you need and even for parts you dont need :lol::lol::lol:

whatever you do, don't install ALS seals :blush::blush: just kidding.

You didn't wonder why you didnt hear your BOV whistling?

:scratch::scratch::scratch:

Let me re-phrase....you didn't wonder why you weren't hearing the wastegate opening?
