Got the engine apart. Chipped one apex seal on the rear rotor, near the corner piece. Damaged the housings, no other damage however. Looks pretty good inside to tell you the truth.

No cracks on the spark plug holes, all the seals were sealing very well, no bearing damage, etc...

I am positive if this thing wouldn't have hit 27psi, it would take a beating for a very long time..

So now with some Goopy Apex seals, this engine will be set...

 

What other modifications from stock were done to the original engine before it went boom? Internally...

 

This was a stock unopened 60k mile engine...

 

Sweet!!! Cant wait to here more progress!!!

 

E, you got a pic of those housings on hand?

 

Pictures of the original rotor housings right? Tomorrow...

 

Yessir thanks much.

 

Hard to see the damage, because its minimal...

 

So its pretty much game on when the rotors come back from coating...

 

This kit looks pretty impressive. Might be doing this in the future.

 

So, whats happening?

Have you found a solution for operating the APV?

I'm waiting for that dyno...:-)

 

Yes...replace with 3rd rotor

No i think we're just going to keep it keyed open/closed and have 2 different tunes.

 

Engine Assembly has started

 

looking forward to the results.

 

Nice to see my Tax dollars went to a good cause!

 

Fightin fer yer freedom...to be fast...

 

Nice. Swain coatings?

 

Nope. It's these guy's coatings.

If I could only afford to do the entire motor when it's rebuilt.

 

As far as perfomance...what do you think will be the main impact of coating the rotors E? Increased longevity...lower surface/coollant temps.... Just kickin the discussion a bit.

 

Or better Lubricity?

 

Woah that place is pretty close to me.

http://www.polydyn.com/tx7.htm They sell some coatings in a bottle too lol

 

Must say that is a bit disappointing to be honest. Would make the kit even more interesting. If I could choose, I'd like the 360WHP dyno to continue up without falling in top- end, to 8,5-9k RPM

Did I mention I like revving the engine?

 

All of our kits now come with enough downpipe clearance to allow proper operation of the valve. At the time this was built everyone was under the impression the aux ports made no difference in power...

Car will be running shortly, its 95% back together...

 

everyone ? Had been shown on here quite a few times that i definitely does make a difference .....

 

I actually built this stuff quite a long time before we had the car in our possession, and accordingly to everyone I spoke to( mostly other shop owners) it made zero difference. Keep in mind I don't read everything on the forum . If I had time for that we wouldn't be in business...

Regardless the design has been changed, and if there wasn't a 20B on the way to our place for this car, it would be changed on his setup....
