I knew it did this when I bought the car, but now how do I fix it? (I know almost nothing about any rotary motor ever)

It blows smoke when ever it revs past 2,000 rpm's.

LOL, i dont need to jump to conclusions. White smoke is coolant.
There is no white smoke on start up, thats steem and does not remain white and smkoie after start up.
It is NOT normal for the car to smoke white on start up or at any time.

But all this breaks down to I have got to rebuild my motor. Right?

Yup, you need a new engine. If its smokes white then you wont be able to re-use the side housings as they are probably warped due to overheathing and the bad seal. But yes, you need a new engine.

Unless it's cold out, then it will seem like it is smoking white :P
But it is time for a rebuild....
FDTT how much for a 13b Turbo motor full block?

well this guy does know his shit
my personal experience, mine did smoke, at probably 5k+rpms and on startup for awhile. i knew it wasnt oil i knew it wasnt coolant. well when i replaced my old cats it went away. the heat from these engines will beat the shit out of the cats.
if its at 2k?? that sounds more serious

Sorry to ask, but is it normal to have a small bit of "smoke"(for lack of better word) to go out when you start the car?

i got me rebuilt, street ported, 3mm seal engine from atkins for 3100. 2yr warranty. although u could get it rebuilt for cheaper, but i went with them cause i thought it would be more reliable.

3100 shit. I hate not having money. Do you think it will be cheaper if it's non-turbo?

Yes, non turbo rebuilds are cheaper.
Atkins does some ok work, and i commend them on there warantees. As i i do not general warantee my work as most of it is in regards to performance therfore it will be driven HARD and cause alot of wear. Its an obvious problem cause by me or a defective part then i would, but ya.
$3100 is a good price for a rebuild TII motor.
