[Mike Bellis]

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...

If I can sway you... The GT28 is an AMAZING turbo for that engine... I ran a GT28RS aka GT2560 on my APR stage 3. Check the exhaust manifold for cracks.


Also you can run that turbo like that for quite a while... They came from the factory with shaft play.. You could do the popular "frankenturbo" Similar to the GT28RS, little less HP.

Just keep in mind, if you do a turbo upgrade you'll be looking at injectors, ecu/tune, fittings, ect ect..

This is an "eliminator" turbo, it eliminates the need for a custom exhaust manifold. So therefore its technically bolt on. Just supply a fueling solution.
You could get your own injectors and Maestro tune it. There are lots of people with tunes that you can use. Or you could have 034 tune it.

Heres same kit with O34 providing tuning solution.


Your looking at 2k+ even with used injectors and tune.. You might be able to find a used kit cheap. I see them every now and then.

Personally I'd run the stock turbo for a while and save up till your bored with the power. They generally have quite a bit of shaft play. Does it hit the housing?
