I started a new thread for the re build of the Turbo wankel project.

Here is a link to the begining.

With a little help from my Brother and Son, we got the car into the garage and I tore the engine out. It took a little over an hour to pull.



The turbo looks ok. It's a little dirty but I can't see any knicks in any blades. Shaft play is minimal and it spins wirh air without drag or noise. I will have to take it apart to find any further signs of damage.



As expected, I blew the apex seal of rotor 2. The white specks in the picture is where the seal should be. There is very fine grit in the exhaust port. Rotor 1 looks fine. Time for a rebuild or JDM crap motor. I will have to look at my budget, A rebuild is 2-3 times the cost of a JDM motor. Either way, all the components will bolt on. There is a chance if I go JDM, that I will have to modify the engine brace for different motor mounts.



Here's some pics of the package...

Got the Terrycable clutch cable in and the throttle cable finished up. The pedal area gave me a hard time with the accelerator connection. The custom cable end has a set screw for the ball with a cotter pin. Set it and forget it. Setting it was a PITA. But, it will never pop off! Ever! No pics so you just have to imagine my fat ass under the dash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Didn't have as time today due to the holliday.

Here's a better pic of the copper transition piece I made. The T is brass with a threaded bung. The 1/2 nipple goes to the heater in the fresh air box.
