I plan on starting to gather what I need for a rebuild in the near future. I live in Corpus Christi, TX. There isnt a shop here in town. I would love to do it myself, I just lack the space and tools to do so. Any recommendations and personal experiences would be great.

 

PRT in Lewisville Tx is owned by Steve Kan. Excellent work.

Rotary Performance in Garland Tx. Great Work.

 

Is there any one in Houston doing rebuild local

 

I am one of the local people but because of a new baby and building a new shop I haven't been able to do a lot of work for people. I have been talking about getting some people together to teach them to rebuild there own motors.

 

My brother and I would pay for that!

 

Chuck - Rx7_Nut13B has rebuilt more rotary engines than anyone in the Houston area.

That is because is ruins more, HAHA! He has been running RX-7s in the LeMONS 24 Hour race
series for a few years.

 

I am a mechanic so I know engines and would love if someone thought me how to do rotarys. Just tell me when and where to be and I'm there. I don't want to have to pay these big shop to do something that I am capable of learning to do.

 

I would drive down there in heart beat if I had the chance to learn.

 

Ok looks like we have at least 4 how many do we need?

 

I'm willing to buy snacks and beer if we can get this going

 

I will pitch in to get this going

 

That's true, when you run everything as cheap as possible you find the weak points. I have only lost one motor from internal issues.

 

I got at least 3 engines to build in the coming months, 2 13b s4's for a future 4 rotor monstrous project. A freeze damaged Fd 13b lemons engine.

 

Oh goody, free labor to pull and rebuild the LeMon FD!

 

Ok good let's do this

 

I will be buying some rebuilt kits in a next few weeks.

 

I'm super excited!!!! can't wait for this opportunity!

 

I'm thinking about pulling my engine just to see what the condition is. It is a jdm engine that was in the car when I bought it

 

There are easier ways to check that, try a real rotary compression test first. It could save you hundreds

 

True but the car down for a single turbo setup.

 

I'm game for a little hands down on some rotary rebuilding

Nothing wrong with free labor What could possibly go wrong? beer, bolts and nuts

 

I run a pretty tight shift when building motors.

 

We know you're too far away to offer up free labor SO we're gonna expect you to get us a turbo engine for a LeMony price for this LeMon:

 

Lol I take engine building serious I measure and check clearances. Check and the double check then one more for good measure
