I had a turbo II for about a year. Cooling, as someone mentioned earler is key, because those rotaries run ------- HOT! It's not that expensive to maintain, really, just a lot of work when ---- goes out. If you don't know what an apex seal is, after driving a 7 for a while you'll know....After having to replace the god damn things 3 times like I did. (well, twice, the third time one of the seals went out i scrapped the damn thing :P)

how long did it take you to replace the apex seal? did it seem like your Turbo II was always in the garage being worked on? cause that's the way my civic used to be until i finally finished everything...and now im trying to give it the boot! it probably wont be hard to get rid of though (there is a lot of stupid people around where i live) just tyring to get a figure of how big of mess im getting into but im pretty excited about it!

rotary resurrection does rebuilds and apparently he is one of the best. it genberally costs like 1 grand to send over a longblock complete engine, and he will replace all the needed ---- for like 500, and then if you want he will do a street port for 200 more. so to me, thats a damn straight good deal.

also quadnie, if he would to read up, or you where to read up for that matter, then you would probobly find the most of the ---- i say are along the ( yah, thats about right ) guidlines.

here are some rotary links.

http://www.rx7club.com/

also, this is aaron cakes sight. he is also very well known in the 2nd gen rx7 community and most of what he says cant and wont be contradticted. read up on it.

holy ----, don't be a moron, rx7s are gay, just look at kain.

kain

your an idiot. i give the guy advise, and your bashing me. still funny though.

also, its a good idea to revamp the fuel system, and ditch or replace the pulsation dampener with something better. those crack or someshit and spew gas onto the exhaust manifold. not gewd.

also, n/a rotaries respond best to low octane fiels. that doesnt mean that 93 or 91 or above isnt going to work, it will, but isnt going bo be efective in producing enough power as lowewr octane will mainly because the extra octane it needs is coming from the oil it burns. dont ask me.

also, rotaries like to rev. period. allot of people in rx7club.com recommend spirited driving every now and then to ensure less carbon buildup, mainly because a piece of carbom ( if too big ) wil flake off, and hit an apex seal. and when tit hits an apex seal, the seal breaks, and if your reving at 5k rpms, the apex seal with take out allot of ---- in its way. ( i saw a pic of a side seal actually welded int the inside of a turbo housing. it speard it like pinestraw spears trees in tornado's.


i dont know much about rotaries, but i have read, and asked enough questions on how the wqork and whats good to do to them that i know a good deal, but still nothing compared to most rotaire enthisiests.

also, dont run a straightpipe unless you want your ears to bleed. lets try to imagine brap brap brap sounds at rougly 150 db's while idoling.

dont ask me how many cop cars came to my house cus i was taking the exhaust of and had the car idoling., they thaught someone was doing construction.

That made no ------- sense at all. Look around - I'm acknowledged as one of the smartest mother ******* on this board. It would be nice to say something like "yes, you are correct on that fact that you presented" BUT you talk like a complete crack head. Christ dude, look at your avatar! What did they run out of pictures of RuPaul on your little gay website? Why not just goto
http://www.rupaul.com/
and get your wacking material there.

Spell check would be a wonderful ------- thing in your life. Do something, just stop posting complete crap.

Like I said, boostedcivic25; you're fucked if you're taking advice from him.

good lord, you dont know about the woop woop guy?

Spenser

do not, i repeat, do not buy a rx-7.

just listen to what kain says, he's a ------- moron, and every second thing that comes out of his mouth is "rx-7s break down..." "rx-7 have shitty pulsation dampeners and start fires" "rx-7s don't show any signs of abuse, they just die" "rx-7s flood.", "rx7s run hot" even tho he loves them more then he loves girls, he still tells you so much bad ---- about them....

just do yourself a favor and buy something else. the only thing a rx7 is good for is a high horsepower machine, something your not gona drive everyday.
