I am offically done with rotaries, N/A rotaries in the GTUs that is. There is no point in buying spark plugs and gallons of distilled water. Its time to let it go and go Turbo II. Just wanted to let you know these last 2 1/2 years were fun. But its time to step it up a notch. See ya'll on the Boosted side.

 

Hahaha ....I thought this was for real.....boosted is your best friend lol

 

Ya. Man thought I would share the pain of a loss of engine. lol

 

I wax thinking the same thing. I like na but I think its time for boost.

 

lol im on the same boat except my N/A is running strong. ive been collecting parts for awhile!

 

wtf! ths title got me.

 

Lol!

 

Swapping the engine or finding a whole turbo II chassis?

 

Use that coolant leak ****. Karack did it on his TII and the motor lasted another 10k miles lol

 

No bandaids for gun shot wounds here fix. I would rather throw in another engine and rebuild my old n/a as a back up. Yes I'm looking for a s5 T2 engine running with good compression and no leaks of any kind.

 

How much you looking to spend? Try Japan engines inc. in San Leandro, they have a whole motor and tranny set in stock, 1700. I got my Sr20det from them and it has been bulletproof, is buy from them again.

 

I'm boosted and I still go through gallons and gallons of DI water You won't escape!

 

haha thought u were throwing in the towel. ull love a turbo rotary.

 

Hmm.

 

until you tear your motor apart.... and have to scrape that stuff off

 

Should put a Ls inside that baby.

 

Good one...

 

Them rotaries are fun but just a lot of upkeep once you go LS just baby turns into a man and gets massive huevos. Add a turbo see what happens. Its food for thought and each to their own. I know its like cheating on your car but its worth it IMO.

 

u can never go wrong with boosted, but once u go forward u can never step back!

 

^ What he said.

 

Water o-rings or holes in the housings?

 

I believe both. Cooling system holds pressure but still burns coolant.

 

What's the difference in the upkeep? Last I checked my V8 and my rotary both need oil, coolant, and gas to run properly.

 

I don't need new engines every 30k miles... and it eats less gas....

 

My FC lasted to 220k and my rx8 reached 102k this week. Maybe it's just me.
