zbrown,
Man I am not doubting you at all. Im sure you can rebuild a good engine. I am just trusting the guy that build mine when I was stationed in Okinawa japan. He has rebuilt over 50 engines himself inculding a few 3 rotors. He said that it needs to be broke in with the new rotor housings, just until the compression comes up. This guy in my opinion is more knowledgable than most of the rotory shop guys. His street ported motors were producing about 430 hp with a T04S, where the guys here in the states are only at 380.
Now apriciate you telling me how much you know about rotories. I am sure you know alot more than me. and I can garauntee that I will probably ask you for advise in the future, but for now I am going to do what I was told and break in the engine.
I didnt pay no $5k for a the engine. I payed and even 3k. And that is with new rotor housings, aggressive street port, and 2mm apex seals.

btleier,
I think I might be taking a trip down to either banzai racing in IN or RX7 store in OH. What do you mean by parts? ecu, turbo, engine?

[fdfreak]

[btleier]

what are you goals. how big is the t04s, I'm not familiar. I made 423whp at 17psi on my t67 with stock ports.

[zbrown]

Blake, I think he is using a t04Z, so same as a t04R (pt67) but dual BB

[fdfreak]

Yea, Zach's right. I am using a T04Z from atpturbo.com. I only said T04S to use it as a reference. But my goal is around the 430-450 @ 16 psi. I should be pretty close.

[fdfreak]

btleier, Are you selling yours? I thought I heard that a guy from Minot was selling his FD.

[btleier]

yeah. I'd like to. if my turbo would quit shitting on me. off to precision for another rebuilt 60.2 miles after the last one they did for me.

why would you put a less reliable motor in there?

not exactly... I don't know exactly how to explain it, but the bolt or stud that goes through the middle, with the washers and stuff on it (threads through the whole center cartridge from what I can tell) fell out or off. and there's all kinds of shaft play. no chunks missing from the wheel so who knows. it just happened this last weekend, and I haven't talked to them yet, but they better cover it, or I'm going to slit their throats.
