Quote from: m1tch;777995My bridgeported engine I have in the garage has FD front iron, FC housings, FD rotors/internals/Hayward rotary seals and an FC rear iron so it will bolt right into an FC :)

This is similar to my own engine Ive built.
 
We are running FC housings, FD irons front centre and rears.
Using the West Coast seals
FC low compression rotors, lightened and balanced along with our own modifications to the rotors to improve the porting of the engine.

I have an e-manage ultimate, not the pointless e-manage blue which is basically a megasquirt in a blue box lol

Quote from: Indian;778115if you want to be on the safe side, you can run the later 13b motor from the gen t11. I have a few friends that only choose those motors and they are making over close and over 900. Granted they only use them for drag racing.

Again, if you buy a S6 and up block, pull it apart and do some light porting, check clearances to spec and put it back together, with the right tuning you can have a 500hp car all day long.Proven. nothing special needs to be done to the motor.

As in the reason for not getting an Power FC,well I dont agree with it. The problem with getting a properly tuned rx7 is well.. tunability. Im not knocking the e-manage, but for this this I will. If your concern about the map going "bad". you do have the option of saving the map and if you make too many changes that makes the car un-drivable or unstartable, then just reload the save map you have. Simple..

Trust me..stay away from the e-manage. Your better off.

dosnt the 1990 have the latest t11 engine or is that the enfini engine?

other prob with standaloan is the cost alot more i can get a full kit with injector and ignition harness and car specific harness for £500 i have a e-01 in the garage somewhere so its a worth option for me too.
i do agree that standaloan are better but can also not be as pratical.

use to have a blue emanage and thought it was good but wish i had spent the extra of the ultima.

billybobbooth

will these fit into a turbo 2 with the fd housings?
13B RE cosmo engine internals?? £500 seam worth it to me.

Indian

turbo t11 90 and up model.

At the end of the day, its your build buddie and only you can say how much you can spend.

I was just under the assumption that if you can spend the extra on rotors, which you will never need for your build (because of your hp goals) then spending on a proper ecu wouldn\'t have been an issue either.

Sorry for making assumptions.

billybobbooth

I don\'t mind spending the cost on standalone its just i have a few of the extras to make the ultima just as good.

My budget is what ever it needs to be. I don\'t mind spending money on something that\'s worth spending on. As i will need ne internals just thought 500 on something that is already balanced would be a good idea as i build engines for a living and extra balancing is always a good thing.
Im more of a if it does something practical it will go on if its just for show or something important not really bothered.
Like vented bonnets what\'s the point if it don\'t actually do anything.

Indian

well my suggestion is that you dont need the rotors, and your rotors can be up to one letter apart before needing to balance the assembly. If your concern enough I would make sure that you clearance your motor properly and you should be set. Porting is a good option too, you can either clean up your ports or do an actual street port. there are many templates out there, not sure about the port work guys do here to recommend anyone.
Other than that, I would still recommend spending the money on a standalone before spending unnecessary rotors.

just my 0.02cents.

billybobbooth

fair enough,

just asking as i wanna rebuild an engine with my engine already in that was all. so ether going to need a second engine or the parts from an engine, as im using new rotor housings.

Indian

If this is your first motor build and your experimenting(learning) I would recommend that you try and purchase some good used housing.

Im not trying to put you down or anything but experience as thought me that you want to leave the new new parts until you actually know what your doing. New housings are expensive and you can find great second hand housing for a reasonable price. It can add up in the end and you doubt you want to mess up expensive new housings from novice mistakes.  

If your worried, I\'ve seen used housing make big Hp. Just make someone who knows what they are doing check them before you buy.

Hope this helps..

Just make sure the housings are within tolerance, but I mean the higher the RPM in the rotor, the more it pushes the seals out, the better compression you get :)

Indian

agree with you to a point m1tch, but remember that high rpm motors suffers "chatter" if the right components aren\'t spec\'d out properly.

That is why you need to decide off the bat what your building, whether a high rpm motor, low boost..etc so you can build accordingly.
