Dell'orto Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 6 Months of motoring for $2k and a weekend is almost worth it though, as opposed to 2 years off the road while you save the $10k+ required to "do it the right way" and then lose motorvation and never get it back on the road at all. I think you underestimate my stubbornness Have yet to give up on my Corolla after 7 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Long time no update...various things have conspired against me. But finally stripped the motor tonight, and though I'd share some of the lols I had Gaskets are for rampant faggots Side seal clearance is also for faggots Multi piece apex seals are cool though Singh grooves make horsepower!!!11 Plans are to make a sweet ornament, and then cry deeply. Might even fix it one day /not actually 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Heh, broken apex seals are entirely my fault, two busted ones in the front housing. Don't know how long it would have run though as it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Oh my god it's that Fucking orange goo. Man that sucks so hard. I'm n with rotaries but re: the side seal clearance. What wrong? Should there be a space by the apex??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Oh my god it's that Fucking orange goo. Man that sucks so hard. I'm n with rotaries but re: the side seal clearance. What wrong? Should there be a space by the apex??. Guessing he means there is no gap, should be a small end gap there when assemble thus allowing for thermal expansion as the motor comes up to temp. Who built the Motor? Silicon Systems Automotive? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Man that's toast. The person who built that should be shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 fuck I lol at rotary cunts that are all like "FULL REBUILD" and just use all secondhand shit and poo up side gaskets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Oh my god it's that Fucking orange goo. Man that sucks so hard. I'm n with rotaries but re: the side seal clearance. What wrong? Should there be a space by the apex??. So goddamn much of it too! I don't get it, the water seals etc look to be new, can't fathom why he felt the need to throw a couple of tubes worth of RTV at it There are/were a lot of new bits in this motor, shame its all fucked Should be slight clearance between the corner seals and side seals, factory specs are between 0.028 and 0.078mm. This has nada! Guessing he means there is no gap, should be a small end gap there when assemble thus allowing for thermal expansion as the motor comes up to temp. Who built the Motor? Silicon Systems Automotive? Haha previous owner built it - he owns a tyre shop, enough said Sorry to hear dell'orto. this shit fucks me off to no extent. this is why I hate rotorfags lol Nah the engine failure was 100% my fault, should have taken the Power FC out until I had proper fuel in it. However I don't know how long it would have lasted anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Probably more than I can afford, but how much? Reciepts etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Buy atkins oring/gasket set, mazda oil controls, and some RA apexs, lil port job and you'll be laughing. Can you port them and run factory ECU? or do you need to step up to a FD Link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I agree with the above, hence doing the re wire on mine including fuel pump etc. (FD link was used as an example) In saying that, DTech has had success with FD links as a cheap alternative. E.g. 243wkw out of a S7 which had the following: EP block FMIC kit 3 inch exhaust FD Link. Everything else was stock IIRC. #DEMCHEAPGAINZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Its a bit of a gamble but would it be worth considering rolling the dice on an import block? something like this, they recon its done 40k, buy now at just under $700. http://page19.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x321827241 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
