then engine gave out tonight after my third run at englishtown. ran 14.3, 14.4, 13.8. had to play with suspension. car didn't lean out just 100K + mile engine and apex seals wore out. no biggie. i will have my FD back very soon. then i'm gonna fix the TII the way it deserves to be, street port, paint job, fix body, etc, etc. project # 2 for now i have to concentrate on my FD

Lame at least you had a good time beating the crap out of her!

thats gotta suck man, what was it like?











waste ricers,all of them! :teufel:

Did you drive it home?

it was running barely. i drove to ito he gave me the DEATH gesture. i shut it down and pulled the spark plugs. it never started again. had AAA tow me home :( the only thing my TII is good for now is BBQ'ing with the big ass flames that come out of my muffler when i crank the car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

the car didn't detonate or anything, i'm pretty sure an apex seal failed due to old age https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png i expected the car to blowup long ago just ask 13BAce. i will have my FD back very soon so its not big deal https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Oooh, oooh, did someone say smores?



That bites... at least you had AAA.

Shitty, so when is your FD going to be done?

Did it sound like a volkswagen? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...lookaround.gif If so then an apex seal probably broke, but it could have taken out the rotor and housing in the process. If it stayed in place then it wouldn't do too much damage.

FD will be ready next week https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



yeah my car sounded like a volkswagon :baaaa: the apex seal def broke on the rear rotor. i think i can def make this a 12 sec daily driver beast very easily. just needs the engine rebuild, turbo rebuild, some racing seats, and all the body work fixed. then i will have a mint TII :bigok:

Yeah, a good rebuild should make your car sounds japanese again. :satisfied:

i'm not gonna get a good rebuild. i'm gonna get a GREAT Ito spec rebuild with Ito spec ports https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

I started work on a Jimspec port, but I have a feeling that it's going to take a while to finish. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

put a 3 rotor in it!!!!! :lachuh:

i could put a cosmo 13B-RE then have ito port that sucker https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

to be ohnest with u, i knot nothing about rotor engines so.... ???

well a 20B is a bit much work and customizing and most of all $$$$$$$$$$$

The Cosmo motor supposedly has bigger ports than the FD motor. I remember hearing that Ray Lochead uses a cosmo motor.

it does. i've seen those housings at ito's shop. ports are monstrous. right now i'm gonna see if i can find a decent jspec engine to put in the TII turborotor has been looking but nobody has ANY in stock https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Buy my motor. Then I can go 20B. :rollwink:

how much https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

I'm not 100% sure if I'd want to sell it right away, but we can talk about it. I'll PM you.

ok i can wait a while. FD will be back soon https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Maybe you can put the rear on jackstands and have somebody "drive" it all day to break it in faster. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

if necessary we can just break in the engine on the dyno in one day :out:

How many hours would that usually require?

i have to ask ito but i'd assume 5-8 hours https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I remember hearing an exact number, but I forget. I thought it was something around 3 hours.

its on http://www.mazdamotorsports.com somewhere https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

It sounded like a broken heart I know the engine was very tired,plus the really nice abuse Vosko gave it doesn't help, but every single time a rotary engine breaks an apex seal it breaks your heart

Yes, but if it breaks an apex seal and nobody is around, does it break a heart? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

it hurts anyone within a 100mile radius https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
