If you guys blow that many engines, wouldn't you think it's time you had a PRO do it, and not run of bitchin to people how it's time for a GM shitbox?

Yeah! Please have a pro do it and leave the GM Shitbox stuff to us who rather drive than rebuild every few months! (Because we're idiots ya' know.)



Hey, is that your **** wing on that **** car in your avatar? If so, I've got some Uncle Bens 5 minute rice you can have.

BTW Srce, silverninetythree works for Gotham Racing and has had all of his motors done by other rotary shops(prior to getting this job) and rebuilt one himself and as for jspecracer7 he probably has some good friends in the rotary world out in Japan do his motors or has enough knowledge to do them himself(not saying silverniteythree doesn't). Most of silverninetythree's motors went because of bad tuning from bad tuners and I'm not sure what happened to jspec's motors, but it was probably something similar. Just a little piece of advice, I'd learn what happened and who built what before I opened my mouth if I were you.

that's also the wrong motor. It's heavier than our aluminum v8's. *shrug* ... and slower

Try 3 in one year, or 6 total in 4 years! I love the rotary, but the fact of the matter is there is no room for error. I'm starting to think more and more that an ls6 swap is the way to go. Problem is the motors aren't cheep.
Go with an LS1 and pick up a set of Stage II heads w/ cam. You'll make more power and spend less money. An LS6 isn't worth it.

Rotaries don't usually blow from the way they are built, it's either in the tune, or certain failures.... injectors, boost controllers etc.



Basically they don't have much room for error. If something fails it's not uncommon for an engine to blow.

slower? Dragon has a stock 20B(with a powerband from 4000 rpms to 7000 rpms) running 6.5 1/8th mile on Nittos...that's mid to low 10's in the quarter mile.
