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 fuel system done today. Fired up the pump, fixed a drip and viola...
Cold air box is back in. Lower intake manifold bolted on. All the linkage for the TB and oil pump done. I made a custom bracket for the two cables and modified the TB linkage to pull the oil pump lever when the TB opens. Seems to work great. I'm waiting on some vacuum hose before I can finish bolting all the intake parts in place. Going to fill all the fluids tomorrow. I should be running and tuning by next weekend.
