Engine rebuild
 

I saw many turbo8 and supercharge 8 owner rebuild their engine before going FI, when do I need to rebuild my engine i currently near 90,000 miles(hehe love to spend time with my 8). how much does it usually cost for the rebuild and should i rebuild b4 go in FI, I am gettign closer to FI

what? who rebuilds their engine just to go FI?

most of us rebuild after going fi . :lol2:

I have no idea, i saw pettie owner was doing it and some people was doing it, I hope is not necessary because i dont want to pay for it.
But when a rotary engine needs to rebuild(my first rotary car, loving it and learning it.)

HAHA, got it bro! how much it cost?

mine was $4000 nz all up - about US$2000
Great learning experience - both the blowing up and the rebuilding .

Seriously ....... dont rebuild a perfectly good motor .

Just had mine done. I lost compression and was forced into the rebuild. Just wait until require a rebuild. You need to ask Charles R. Hill how much as part of the money I gave him went to mods.

rebuilds are not all alike. If you replace just what's broken, it will naturally be cheaper. I spent around 3k in parts alone.

true info no need to rebuild until its neccessary, I installed my Pettit SC with 76K on it, it now has 82K and when it goes I plan on goin with a Mazmart(Rick Engman) rebuild... But like others said if you do it yourself you can bring the cost in comfortably under $3k...

Do any one know any shop that is not just rebuild engine, but also make them better. What I mean is maybe better seal or polish or something....more F/I capability?

yeah you need to do some research on Rick Engman,,,

Any competent shop with rotary engine experience should be able to port and perform upgrades while building the motor. There are several options for apex seals and things like oil and coolant passage modifications can help increase the longevity of the motor. I would not advise putting forced induction on a motor with high miles. If you do blow the motor, there will be more damage done and the cost of the rebuild will be more expensive that rebuilding before breaking a seal.
