Sad News for my 7.
Just found out today, after the car was having problems, that sadly, the engine is blown, Im getting a new job here in a week or so, so I plan to rebuild it, however, I have no experience with rotaries. If someone has done it before, and has any tips on what NOT to do while in there, hit me up. It will live again!
EDIT: Update rear rotor is blown, with no compression, Tryed seafoam, same effect.

^ Agreed. Perfect time to do a swap.

ok guys, a good friend of mine is finally opening his business and i thought i'd put a word out for him. he's having a huge sale at his place up by the mall of ga this coming saturday. i know it' kind of short notice, but i also know that most of you guys don't pan far ahead, so you should be able to show up and support a fellow rotary enthusiast who is starting his dream business. anyway, here's a "cut and paste" from his website, (RXZotic.com) talking about the sale on saturday, so i'll just let you read about it here. check out his site if you get a chance. he's still working on it and there's new stuff everyday.

Event details:
This new venture (RXZotic.com) is a home based business for myself with my wife helping me. As such, we are beginning out of our garage, which is where the event will be taking place.
At 7:30 we will be opening up for the early birds to meet, greet, and start buying.
Here are pictures of some of the parts we will be selling.
Special Sale
Better bring your wallet filled with all the money you can earn, save, beg, and borrow!
Why, you ask?
We will be selling a total of 30 12a & 13b plates, rotors, housings, e-shafts, etc... for a ridiculously low special sale price that will be announced on the morning of the sale. This is a first come first serve only sale.

When is that? ^^

Sam from Atlanta RX7 is already in Oakwood.

I think this thread got hijacked, but yeah, a T2 swap is the way to go. That is what I am doing on my 7
How much are you looking at paying for the whole swap? If its kinda cheap, it might be an option.
I'm looking at $1500 Shipped for the full swap (engine, tranny, ecu and uncut harness), it also comes with a 90 Day Warranty.
But if not, I am willing to sell my NA set up. I do not know the condition of the engine because the harnesses are destroyed. But I'll let it go cheap. Might be able to pull some spare parts off it.
Do you know if it runs? or what kind of miles it had? But thats a really good price for the full swap.
go on rx7club and talk to japan to LA. hes very reputable.
also most places dont offer a 90 day warranty. this is because most of the time its just user error that breaks the engine in 90 days.
i still say go to that sale and pick up some good rotor housings and some rotors.
make sure they are for your series though.
That is so true about user error.
It should run, miles are between 30k-55k.
yah, but how long was the engine sitting out in the elements rusting away internally?
For me, the engine I am getting has not been. Mine is coming with all service records, mileage, warranty and is still sitting in a running, unwrecked car right now, and no it is not stolen.
LS1 swap would be the shit
I disagree, if you want an LS1 buy a vette, you buy an RX7 for a rotary. I guess it's to each their own, but the way I see it, if you want an import, you buy an import, if you want a domestic, buy a domestic, but why take a domestic engine and toss it into an import. Just my opinion.
LOL Great minds think alike dude!Same shit I was going to say..
Peek-a-boo mofucka what now?!
same goes for youLOL Great minds think alike dude!
Shut up. If I wanted 500hp then I wouldn't be a puss and build my engine!!
Then I would go Mopar instead of that POS LSx engine.HEMI baby!
2600lbs and 500 N/A horsepower/torque. That's why.
UPDATE: Rear rotor is officially blown, looks like Im going to need a used motor =D.
You are welcome to buy my S5 motor if you want it.
there you go! just swap over the front and the OMP and go...Justin, you have a S4manifold on your S5motor though don't you?
Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she'd be like, "Yeah, I sucked his dick. Whatever." And you'd be like, "What? We weren't talking about that."
Yeah, I do have an S4 manifold, but I was told an S4 mani can function fine on an S5 motor, just won't produce as much power.
there are many reasons besides the intake manifold.
Even so, if you want that in an rx7 then you do the 3-rotor or a 4-rotor. If you want a domestic engine, buy a domestic car. That doesn't change it.
Not necessarily a 3 - 4 rotor. Any well built 13B would put out 500hp.
or 12aNot necessarily a 3 - 4 rotor. Any well built 13B would put out 500hp.
True, I'm sorry I always forget about the little engine that could.or 12a

I said a 3 or 4 rotor because they can put out a lot more horsepower than that LS1 could,Not necessarily a 3 - 4 rotor. Any well built 13B would put out 500hp.
True, but a 2 - rotor engine can too
Just look at my Puerto Rican brothers, they won't lie to you.
sorry...I should have added "with daily driven reliability". How much power can you get out of a 3 or 4 rotor? I have a hard time believing they can make more power than an LSx.
Oh, and fuck a Dodge...
this one is making over 1600HP

thats a pport running nitromethane. you dont need such measures to get that far on a v8.
And?
V8's would need a lot more upgrades as well to reach that amount of HP!
OK Roger, I need you to get me a buyer for my current engine, the two trannys I have and the stock NA hood.
I need them gone ASAP.
