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... |

EJ25D with 5 speed Too much time on CL while the site was down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I know what you mean. That green 914 from Idaho motivated the change. I would never driven the rotary that far. It makes a better race motor than a street motor. I'll see if I can drive it to Moab one of these days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) BTW, Nice score! Subie... doobie... doo... |

I've got some crazy ideas bouncing around. |
