JuicedH22 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Am I the only one who thinks that as rare as FDs are, I know of at least 15 between cincy, c-bus, and dayton on each local web board, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 No mine it at my house. The number of openings is actual operational. FMIC and Oil coolers. one on each side. Oh and dont forget brake ducts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trjackson Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 A local shop is doing part of the build but i am doing the rest. Actually there is a swap going on but not what you would think. Both, im sure you will like. So the Rx7store is installing a 35R kit? Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Why would i have them install a 35r kit? installing a turbo is cake. Plus i dont want a 35r. Im looking for a 500r :zoom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trjackson Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 A 500R is a 35R. When sean makes the 500r he starts with a 35r. Nevertheless Jake, good luck with your build. Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you 4g goes i know someone that will want your shell The motor out of my 700whp Colt is STILL running strong in a car in MD, and its been making 730 for the last 2 years. Im not worried about it. On the other hand, I have replaced, and helped R&R now 4 fucking "build" 2k + motors that have just, went, for no apparent reason, built buy the sweet rotary shop by you. Im talking 2 of the instances, to motor cam in a box from them, was installed, and was fucked at first fire. Shop around before you finalize anything.

FourString Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm happy to see someone sticking with the rotary for once. Should be interesting to see how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have not seen Kyle, Zavier, Jason or Steve Doritos. There use to be a ton of bad ass Rx-7's in c-bus a few years ago (not saying there isnt anymore, Ive just been gone awhile).

There use to be a ton of bad ass Rx-7's in c-bus a few years ago (not saying there isnt anymore, Ive just been gone awhile). And how many of them are still running?... I just think the rotary is a weak platform. However rx7 store does do some sweet stuff. Exavier is sweet but I think he is also changing his platform.

Im talking 2 of the instances, to motor cam in a box from them, was installed, and was fucked at first fire. i dont doubt a word of what you're saying, i simply maintain that a properly built/tuned rotary will run just fine. It's unfortunate that there are shops out there who do a shitty job and poorly represent the engine as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i know it wasn't our shop, we don't ship motor in a box, are you sure you burp the coolant system. It take about an hour or more to get the coolant system working right in an rx7. You have to keep heat cycling a little, sounds like if you just started the car and watching the gauge go up and expected a coolant seal failure; you may have pull the motor out for nothing.

Exavier is sweet but I think he is also changing his platform. mine hit a parked car...so, yea, mine isn't running at the moment hehe. it's on it's road to resurrection though. and sadly, i will probably keep a rotary platform, some crazy 3-rotor setup will most likely be next.

Trjackson Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Wow, I have already read enough of the bashing rotories. For once can this stay on topic and complement Jake for building what I hope will be a decent car. Good luck Jake. Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IMO-they 100% should not have failed the way they did. In fact- 2 of the cars were tuned at said shop as well, and blew up under the setting they were tuned at. Long story short- Rotary motors are finicky, and VERY sensitive to detonation. You are taking your chances no matter which shop you go through. You have a PM with details of the random coolant seal failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Puerto Rican you know-we seem to be the only ones that can build them, and make it work. Funny, since we do it with whatever is laying around, and build them on kitchen tables.

You have a PM with details of the random coolant seal failure. What was exactly wrong with these motors? There is no such thing as random coolant seal failure. Either the car overheats and frys the coolant seal or its a pinched seal which happens when the motor is built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
