Re: my first rotary
Looks extremely good. I've always been a fan, keep it up. Shoot me a PM if you ever get a chance, and wouldn't mind handing out a few pointers. I've been fabbing for about 2 years now, and am always looking for ways to improve

Digging i abit i see rotaries like big, nasty turbos. Like rediculous big. Full t4, t70, t88, gt40, to4z, etc..........
A great choice for instant spool and about 400HP is a GT35R with a 1.0 (1.06?) hotside.
I'm thinking hx55 for mine. Still, i'm wondering wether or not a 13bbp na motor and tranny will handle 300-350whp.
I do want 3mm apex seals but i'm looking at $500 right there alone so i'll see what brand new seals will do.
And to weiRtech, that's nice fab but I still think your flanges are too thin. Half inch minimum...

aaron cake is the ----. I'd listen to him on most accounts.
Turbo 6 port ftw.
Yeah, i'm sticking with 2mm seals. I've also decided i'm probably going to drop in a turbo II b/c i'm junking my other car once i'm done raping it of it's parts. It's easier to pull a motor and drop in the tII in a day or so since this car is going to be my daily. Hopefully, i can sell the engine and trans for a decent price (located tII driveshaft and rear end to complete the swap) to come out ahead on it.
Yes, i pussed out on my turbo six port. I can deal with a bit of lag for a smaller headache. Hat's off to you and others who have done it though.
