I started a new thread for the re build of the Turbo wankel project.
Here is a link to the begining. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=113156 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... |

My back's been too fuched up to do much. 1.8t is ready for a new timing belt. Hope to pull the engine out this weekend. Maybe... Looks like the K03 turbo has lots of shaft play. Need to upgrade to either a K04 or GT28. Can't decide. the cost difference is minimal, leaning to the GT28. Looks like I have a buyer for my 901. That should help finance the project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Need to stock up on DOM tubing for the engine cradle. Overall progress is slow. Doctor says I have a pinched siatic nerve (sp?) Need to take is easy for a while. Waiting for xrays to come back with final results. |

We all know your just going to yank out this motor after you finish and start another crazy build on the same car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Maybe I should buy more 914's? On for every possible engine combination. Although, I think I'm done after this swap.
