camp drive with no skid picks is what it should say

2000km run-in? Don't they only last 10,000kays between rebuilds?

lol

That's right - if you use the wrong seals and boost the fark out of it - and don't listen to your engine builders suggestions for engine longevity. Bit like an RB really

Looking very tidy Brendan, good stuff!!

Except that the percentage of rotor drivers who do what you say are much higher than the percentage of RB drivers..

Seems to be an addiction for some... boost, break, rebuild, repeat....

hahah I heard an interesting number the other day.

28

Thats how many engines the White's did in their Skyline to win targa. Once. At say $5k each thats.....a lot of money on rb rebuilds.

And lets not forget that since they wouldn't have been cheating, each of those motors died with only standard boost.

[B-Man]

28 in one Targa ?

[Abo Bob]

I don't think that's what he means but man would they be good at remove and refit engine by now.

[JAS-25T]

Im pretty sure thats what he meant, because I was there when the bloke was telling us

[fatz]

vid of skidz????????????????????????

make it happen!

And lets not forget that since they wouldn't have been cheating, each of those motors died with only standard boost.

maybe they were running without oil to save weight? seriously though that's gotta hurt the hip pocket!

any motor will die if you push it hard enough, interestingly mazda's next rotary will be a clean-sheet design. there is not enough left in the renesis to tweak it for the next model.

OK - going in for final tune tomorrow !

This is today's effort:

Upgraded the Cosmo fuel pump from the standard Denso pump to dual Walbros - The denso pump is pretty good spec actually- when I took it out I did some google research on it. But 2 x Walbros will give me more then enough flow for me - They are rated at 255L per hour each.

Here are some pics:

[dontfeelcold]

how much of that gets submerged in fuel?
