The rotor housing has a nice 1/8 deep gash in it...

TheCamel 04-11-2004 10:22 PM

Waiting on Martin to provide the replacements, then I will start getting it all together for rotorfest for him https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I've got a pair of S5 turbo rotors (not sure of their weight codes) that are spotless if you need. 40k mi on both of them, btw.

the rotor almost looks like it took a chunk off the housing

FiKsE l2X SeVeN Jr 04-12-2004 08:11 AM

i dunno if sean cleaned the rotor and housing, but it looks cleaner than what i expected

TheCamel 04-12-2004 08:34 AM

Nothing has been cleaned, that is exactly as the motor was pulled apart, carbon and all. If you look at the rotor, when the seal broke it went into the side you really cannot see and dented the tip of the rotor then as the rotor came around and smashed it into the housing it buried a piece into the rotor (the shiny spec you can see) I removed the two sections around the dent so Martin could see what is stuck and why the rotor is bad.

TheCamel 04-12-2004 08:36 AM

these are the plates, very clean with minimal wear, I will try to get some better pics today, Wife used the camera most of the day and I ran out of batteries.

TheCamel 04-12-2004 08:37 AM

And one last one of the good rotor housing.

i.didnt.do.it 04-12-2004 08:59 AM

How many miles were on this when it went? Is that normal carbon build up?

ColinRX7 04-12-2004 10:01 AM

Martin this is your opportunity to do something custom.. Like higher compression rotors from an FC or something?

30k is what Martin told me, it is a factory re-man engine. And on all the engines i have seen, that is normal.

Damn homie, your engine got hose'd. It's in good hands though.

the rear rotor blew, for not sure what reason..... maybe either ignition or bad injector.



the oil is so black cuz i drove it home for 45 mins with 1 rotor

kahren 04-12-2004 04:48 PM

Howcome?

TheCamel 04-12-2004 11:46 PM

It's for super secret squirel stuff, if you do not have the US version of the decoder ring, your out of luck

Judge Ito 04-13-2004 08:29 AM

I see stock ports and I start to visualize my die grinder cutting into to them. I think I need a rotary engine rehab center. :-)

TheCamel 04-13-2004 09:20 AM

You just need more hours in the day Ito, then you could port them all day long, and I can pull them... as fast as you get them done and to me, the faster we would all be :P

MazdaMike 04-13-2004 09:23 AM

haha



unfortunatly my decoder ring broke 4 letters into the decoding process so i dont even know why im going to seans



american decoder ring... still made in china
