Rebuild question

[DevoutWankelist]

I have my motor out right now and I'm going to start the teardown and rebuild as soon as my engine stand adapter comes in the mail. I read the 6 port bashing in the other thread and wanted to know if I were to buy a turbo shortblock and rebuild it minus the turbo, would there be any issues with putting that in my s5 na? I was putting in a turbo rotating assembly anyway because I am supercharging the motor soon. Thanks for any help.

u plan on porting the engine ?
what kind and size of s/c are you looking to get ?

do you rebuild the engine cuz its blown or cuz its low on compression ?
is it an S4 or S5 engine ?
are you gonna remain EFI ?

[ShortyDTP]

Can you let me have it when your done? .......LoL

can you hook me up on the S/C . cuz i am planning on doing that on my s4 n/a . i'll pm u on details.

-u plan on porting the engine ?
---Yeah, most likely a half bridge

-what kind and size of s/c are you looking to get ?
---Eaton m90

-do you rebuild the engine cuz its blown or cuz its low on compression ?
---Blown, and I have to learn somehow

-is it an S4 or S5 engine ?
---S5

-are you gonna remain EFI ?
---I hadn't even considered not remaining EFI, is there an argument for losing it?

Oh yeah, does anyone know where I can get an engine stand adapter for the motor. So far I have seen $90 at mazdatrix and $69 at pinneapple racing. Are those my only two choices?

some people like to upgrade to a holley carb setup, racing beat has them, I like EFI myself, the holley carb systems are more for cars that have a bad EFI system or are strictly track cars... which yours isn't so I'd think you'd wanna stay EFI... plus the holley carburater would cost more money($860)

This will be dropped off in the mail at my house soon!

go with a T2 engine. you can open ur block and rebuild the turbo engine with your hier compression rotors but you'll have to get an S5 T2 engine or use ur e-shaft assembly and counterweight (including the flywheel)

[DevoutWankelist]

Won't the higher compression rotors be unreliable under boost?

[Soyo]

no I think acctually they are better, or so I've heard..

depends on the amount of boost you're planning on running. The supercharger you've picked doesn't make a whole lot of boost so the higher compression should be ok.

[D3rELiC]

higher compression with higher boost will cause more detonation if not enough fuel is used and if the internals are not strong enough, it will also cause more heat. but will produce more power from a smaller amount of boost

[DevoutWankelist]

So it might be less reliable that a turbo rotating assembly?

[D3rELiC]

not, the line betwen the "you run safe and do some good power" and the "you've blown your engine" will be a bit more thin, thats it

but first find out if your rotors are good, they're hard to find and they may be pricey

[DevoutWankelist]

What do I look for to see if they are good or bad?
