I started a new thread for the re build of the Turbo wankel project.
Here is a link to the begining. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=113156 With a little help from my Brother and Son, we got the car into the garage and I tore the engine out. It took a little over an hour to pull. The turbo looks ok. It's a little dirty but I can't see any knicks in any blades. Shaft play is minimal and it spins wirh air without drag or noise. I will have to take it apart to find any further signs of damage. As expected, I blew the apex seal of rotor 2. The white specks in the picture is where the seal should be. There is very fine grit in the exhaust port. Rotor 1 looks fine. Time for a rebuild or JDM crap motor. I will have to look at my budget, A rebuild is 2-3 times the cost of a JDM motor. Either way, all the components will bolt on. There is a chance if I go JDM, that I will have to modify the engine brace for different motor mounts. Here's some pics of the package... |

Here is the engine mated to the tranny... I only had to pull off the upper intake manifold to remove the engine. And, that was only due to the lack of a proper lift. All accessories will bolt on before reinstallation.
Here you can just see the tab on the black water pump housing I had to grind for clearance. The later oil pump cover has a divot to clear this tab. This is a common mod when using this setup. The main advantage is the mechanical control of the oil meetering pump. The electronic control I was using is a POS. The guy that sells it is too hard to get hold of in Austrailia. So the simple cable setup will work every time. |
