chris r Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 It was just going over seals etc. I'll need to work out how to measure everything next to figure out if it is in spec. I'll pull It apart one day and see how fucked everything is Yeah I can see how the costs add up quickly. Quote
chris r Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 Oh does anyone have recommendations/sources for info /specs before I get on google Quote
fryup Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I have a Haynes FC manual that has plenty of stock rebuild specs/info if you would like to borrow? PM me 1 Quote
chris r Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 That'd be awesome. I'll need to visit a copy place and take a copy of this and the wiring one Quote
chris r Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 Can't sleep and I found this http://www.turborx7.com/rereplacement.htm Will be some bedtime reading/so I can find it later Quote
rot808 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 When I did a budget rebuild (only soft seal replacements and a good clean and measure up) on mine years ago I used the factory service manual, it ran and got abused ALOT so can't complain. You know it's legit if it says you can use out of spec apex seals as long as you use old apex seal springs so it doesn't push them up too far (which is what I did as I was poor lewl) http://www.rotaryheads.com/PDF/2nd_gen/ 2 Quote
tortron Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Nah, throw away that horrible rotary engine, they were never any good anyway. Take one out of your hondas and have an RXVTEC 4 Quote
chris r Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 One step ahead of you. I took the motor out iof ness accord Quote

Dell'orto Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 The answer is J port, IDA and jilliez obviously. 2 Quote

chris r Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 I should buy this rx7 and use the motor in mine until it goes bang. What I am most interested in is the factory airbox though. oh and ness has decided she likes the sound of a bridge port. I told her she can buy the porting template and I'll have a go at it Quote
yoeddynz Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I reckon you should put your time and money into just fixing the engine you have. You might be pleasantly surprised at the condition inside when stripped. That motor in above link could well have issues.. you'd never know until you get it. Plus it'll need the counter weight swapping over because its an auto so wont be a straight swap. 1 Quote
flyingbrick Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 @chris r I will judge you if you buy that Quote
chris r Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Of course I'm not going to buy another car haha. I was wanting the factory airbox more than anything. I'll need to do more work on the rest of the fleet before I get balls deep in this Quote
kiwi808 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 When I rebuild my motor I'll probably be doing away with the factory airbox. If I do then I'll send it up to you. But you won't need it with a bridgeport turbo..... 1 Quote
chris r Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 Got a cheap motor for this... some guys stateside have butchered a fc to fit 2 Quote
chris r Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 So with recent developments I'll be moving out and loosing the storage. Chucked it up on book face for what it owes me and someone paid a deposit 2 hours later. I'll probably regret selling it but I've got to de clutter 1 Quote
