Here are some pictures of my engine damage thanks to Rob x-7. This first one shows the 3 cracks at the dowel pin near the oil filter housing.

This is a good shot of the entire face of the housing. Those horizontal lines aren't supposed to be there. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

This last shot shows how the housing cracked all the way to the outside. Upon teardown I found that everything in the motor except for the rear housing was fine. You can also see how the mounting ear on the housing for the transmission broke--it happened before the crack at the dowel pin. I also broke a motor mount a few weeks before that. It runs very well now.

Which car did that motor come out of? Good god man! When you blow a motor, YOU BLOW A MOTOR!!! You must have had like 30PSI and no fuel or something...damn. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/excl.png

So what exactly do you have in that convertible, can you give me a run down of your setup...
also, do you know any HP number or QTs? |

also, do you know any HP number or QTs? I don't know the HP, but at 17 PSI I'm sure it was over 400 RWHP. There was a review of my car by Rob x-7 a few months ago. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
I missed the review I guess, lol...thats a hell of a setup. I plan on following pretty close...I've decided on the T78 from GReddy instead of the T76. I'll also use Haltech...don't have any experience w/ any others, lol. I'm gonna shoot for about 500RWHP though....I'm doing a BIG streetport...and 3mm seals w/ FD internals most likely...hardened stationary gears, etc...I've been reading into getting the motor dowled bigger or stronger, or something like that...any advice on that? Ya know, to keep the motor from stressin...

Ok that's it, 13BAce needs to be banned from the forums. All this talk of pinning motors and 600whp and big turbos and special ports and stuff!
The jealousy is killing me! *curses all the lost jobs in the past that caused all the credit cards to be maxed so he can't play anymore* https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |

Yeah getting to that point, just have to settle a few things first. Namely finding a place to move to that has a nice garage....hate having to move but that's life. My house is in the way of a huge mall they are putting in.
The only real problem I have is a limited parts supply. I'd love to tinker with things, but as I've never done a regular rebuild of a rotary I ought to start there I suppose. One of the projects I will be doing in the not too distant future is my own engine mointoring system. Not that hard to rig one up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |

The car is nuts, at first when he gave me a ride, I was thinking "it doesnt feel that much different then my car", then being a piston guy, Im saying "it doesnt SOUND that much different then my car at idle", but when the revs get over 3500 or so, and that turbo spools up its like someone punching you in the ******* back, like getting launched from a sling shot or something, the rear tires break free out of no where.. sigh.... I remember when I used to be able to break street slicks free driving 40mph and flooring it......now my car just makes loud noises and goes nowhere ( at least it looks pretty good going slow though ). Like being all dressed up and no where to go.
