I have a 87 NA thats blown. Has been sitting for a few years, hoping to bring her back over the winter. The transmission was find, the seals were shot, and this was about 4 or 5 years ago.
What cost/problems am i going to face fininding a TII motor, upgrading the turbo a little, and swapping it in. I would also like to do the exhaust system at the same time, but plan to port and polish the stock manifolds. I need suggestions and advice as to where to begin, what to avoid, and what to expect. |
Let the t2 conversion bashing begin!
|
FD I highly suggest you read the T2 conversion 1Revvin7 has done, and see what nightmares he had. the link is in his signature
|
That bad eh? Ok so lets talk rebuilding it into the NA it is. What cost does it run to rebuild a rotory myself? dont have the 1k+ for a new one.
|
Doing an NA to T2 conversion isnt THAT bad, geez...
i'd recommend rebuilding the NA and then buying a T2 though... rebuild will cost you about $600-$2000 depending on what kind of damage was done and what you put into the motor.. |
Blown apex seals. Tried ATF already. Where can i get a complete rebuild kit minus rotors? I'd like to get a street port too, honestly.
|
Atkinsrotary.com has all the rebuild parts you'd need.
If your new to porting, racingbeat.com has some good porting templates. |
Not to sound like an idiot, but some sites can be confushing so i have to ask. Exactly what do i need/should be replaced and what quantity of each?
|
Apex seals 3 each per rotor...so 6 all together.
you'll need water jacket seals as well...maybe a few sets if you have to pull the motor apart again after building it..they break easy when pulling a motor apart. if/when u pull the motor apart, just inspect everything, you'll get a better idea of what you'll need when you do that. |
ok, time to apply for visa lol.
