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... |

Got the engine and tranny mocked up. I use aircraft stripper on the bar. Found some 1/4" stock and 5/8" DOM to fab the mounts. The original mounting point on the passenger side had to be trimmed to fit around the new one. Got it all welded up and it fits both engines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
From the rear you can see how asymetrical the new mounts are. I think in the Rx7 this is done on the passenger side for turbo clearance. Anyone can fab up a cross bar since the transmission locates the assembly. I hope this inspires some new unusual conversions. Rotors are rusty from sitting for almost a year...
