Yaya. It's still good. Gouges means more room for air and fuel. Moar air and fuel mean moar power!

i've been picking away at the car a bit... collecting parts, cleaning inches of grease and dirt from every crevice

getting ready to put the engine together.. need to pick up gaskets and such still

took a closer look at the turbo last night. wastegate looks a little toasty. it this normal?

got out to the garage for a bit last night

trans mounted up

and in... cleaned the engine bay up a little more as well

car is up in the air again for fuel lines to be run

started mounting up injectors and rails. removed pulsation dampner as well.

i seem to have a lot of play on the secondary injectors... am i missing something here?

sure looks like it. maybe a spacer of some kind? no idea as ive never worked on a rotary but your project is looking pretty good. looks like its in good shape for its age.

Bump, it's spring, how's the build going?

distr0 · March 18th, 2012, 10:54 AM

haha, slow and steady

been collecting lots of little bits lately - gaskets, oil lines, fittings, fuel fittings, clutch/trans bits, etc. ran fuel hard lines the other night

need a couple more things to get the engine long-block'ed, then ill drop it in and route all the lines
