yup its true... engine failed.. rear rotor low compression .. apex seal issue.. warranty is void now im stuck with a car the barely starts up n easily floods.. it drives n all but pretty shitty.. n yes its turbo'd... dont no what i should do now...

 

That sucks! You could get someone to tear down and rebuild and get some Performance Apex Seals!

 

Yeah anyone who goes FI without budgeting for an engine is asking for this type of situation. Sorry to heart it, now get that bad boy rebuilt.

 

you didnt test before boosting?

 

Hit up Atkins Rotary or Charles R. Hill

 

well the compression was fine before n after boosting it it drove bout 1k miles... n well jerrys little car shop is wat atikins recomended n they r the ones who ran the compression n well he said 5k for the rebuild...n i no thts a rip off from what ive heard n researched... but then again i dont no anyother rotory guy..=/ so yea........i can buy and replace it with a new motor for under 4k... or i can get a ls1 swap.=)... but idk .. i loose the handeling more weight add n yea...but idk

 

I hope you sent that post above by a cheap cell phone, otherwise you should take some grammar classes before posting.

Look into getting a motor from a junk yard. I did that before when my 2.7L in my Dodge Intrepid seized due to a design flaw.

 

Pay now or pay later. Was your car properly tuned?

 

That sucks, but if I was you I would take this as an excellent oppertunity to do your own engine rebuild :D Also, what turbo were you running in it?

 

A fully dressed LS1 is <100lbs heavier than a Renesis, FYI. Rotary engines are pretty massively heavy for their size due to all the iron, while LS engines have an aluminum block and push-rods which keeps them impressively light. If you don't have to move the steering rack (like RX-7's have to), then there should be little to no handling difference. You'll just get more HP and better gas mileage.

Also, +1 on grammar/spelling classes.

 

^+1

rebuilds including upgraded parts are labor are like 3.5k if you pull the motor. not a bad deal. call crh and talk to him about it.

i wouldn't give up yet since you just dropped the coin to boost..

 

Sorry to hear. Both my failed motors had low compression in the rear rotor so that is not a surprise.

 

yes guys i use an iphone to reply. i just text like tht so i end up posting stuff like tht frm my phone.. so i guess im sorry for the poor texting grammer...

any who
who is this "charles r. hill" u guys speak of... i am looking into a rebuild but still not sure of it. i no i can get the pasrts frm atikins rotory but i have no one to put it together for me. dont really no any one who works on rotories other then JLC



rotory is like SECKS under the hood, so i might aswell stick with it. =)......

 

Charles R. Hill = www.blackhaloracing.com

 

call rob at pineapple racing

 

huh? that is from an iPhone?

 

Robb at Pineapple Racing is somewhat local. He is in the Portland, OR. It is my understanding he will rebuild the motor but not install it.

Charles will fly to your house, pull the motor, rebuild it and then install it.

Another some what local option is to have FD3S Engineering do the rebuild for you. They are in Beaverton, OR.

 

how do i get a hold of bhr/ Charles R. Hill

 

 

well i can get the motor installed in the car thats not an issue. i preferbly would like to get it done locally.. portland isnt very far but i would prefer here in WA

 

lol epic....

 

Portland is not far but somewhat a PITA to get it there and back. But Rob knows his way around a rotary. But so does Marc at FD3S.

 

If you have them do all the work (pick up the car, toll it to the shop, pull the engine, buy the parts, rebuild the engine, put the engine back and test the car)
5k is average price!!!

 

Search Charles R. Hill on this Forum. Then PM charles R. Hill.

Do you want us to google that for you too?

 

Also you did just quote his website that has a big button on it that says "Contact"
