Bit more on the project (FD)

[boosted]

So engine debris from 1 chamber exits through exhaust manifold hits turbo compressor wheel and fires back up manifold and enters other chambers...i can see it being possible but that would be really unlucky and a 1in a million shot.

Really hope this is not the case is it worth getting rotary tester on there before you pull motor?

Yep:flamed
I have seen enough to warrant pulling the motor out TBH
Will build it better and stronger with new turbos and some porting :Giggle

No but you have to make the best of it had rotarys for 20years and it\'s only the second one to let go and I do like to push them :Giggle

will have it out next sat when i get a hoist

Sounds likes it\'s going smoothly mate, looking forward to the engine build read :3gears-lh

[mpk490p]

thanks yes seems to be...........

i won\'t be building the engine myself as it will be going to Oldones for some porting but will be putting it all back together, may split it next week to look at the damage

[mpk490p]

finally got around to doing my dials today, one of the first things i brought for the car!
they will backlight blue once lit
also discovered the ABS and Heat bulb had been removed, presuming this means they were trying to hide issues!
will stick some bulbs in and see what we get!

Both the clutch and turbo manifold pretty much FDuked
was expecting the turbos but not the clutch (told by previous owner it had just had a new one!) so lucky it got pulled really

Holy crap!!!

[mpk490p]

ok not done much of a update here,
so the engine is at Oldones waiting to be stripped (next couple of weeks)
meanwhile i have been stripping and cleaning the engine bay, plenty of bits on order (929 brake master, clutch master and slave rebuild kits, fuellab FPR, a few shinny bits from DM\'s) also doing the callipers they just need stripping off along with all the wishbones for blasting (have another set that have been poly bushed to go on) should have a Exedy Hyper single on its way soon, poly engine mounts are here oh and did i mention cleaning! also had my injectors flow tested and cleaned where needed :thumbsup:

Good progress! aint gonna be much to salvage from the engine is both rotors lost there tips?

[mpk490p]

the tips were still in there although a couple felt like they were stuck back in the rotor still guessing really until it gets pulled, i think it could be corner seals, not pulled the turbos apart yet either to look at the damage
