also decided on doing the stage 4 rebuild of the turbo from BNR

didnt want the turbo to be sluggish with a back cut original rear wheel.

stage for has t04 rear wheel with the original housing machined out to match it up..so should spool better

Well engine finally pulled down

Engine = fubar

Basically the rotors and rotor housings are not worth using

she has carbon biuld up and rust build up in both rotors so id say yes was buggered well before she stopped running.

Note scoring at 12 o clock and 6 o clock on rotor housings.

End plates yet to be measured to see if they pass. im not confident.

Eccentric shaft is fine.

[sim_rx3]

yep she is special guys..

no matter what i did it was a goner.

rear plate warped and bearings and gears gone.

all that is saveable is the oil pump sump and ecentric shaft and front cover.

ah well.

ive got a low km import series 4 13b rx7 bare block engine i got in the mid 90\'s sitting in the rx3.

ripping it out tonight and it will be pulled down on the weekend. might be able to use it..

[sim_rx3]

had a request for a picture of front guard badge

[sim_rx3]

just bought a B&M auto transmission cooler with thermo and trigger switch already installed.

oil temp is an important thing in auto boxes so this give the box a chance of regulating its own temps.
which should help the box be more reliable.

going to mount it in under the passenger side inner guard and cut a portion of the bottom of the plastic guard below that to aid air flow

here it is
