I have 3 and a 20b cosmo with no probs, also 13b in the ae86

if the engine blows it would cost 2.5k for a rebulid from us thats without rotors and rotor housings as u dont no if they hav to be replaced until u take it apart

thats for nothing considering i could put out 600hp with the right add ons, show me a piston engine that you can rebuild for that money and capable of that power

What did u pay for it in the end if u dont mind me askin

i have a minter here for sale cheap vrt'd n all Jap

Had change from €1500.:DEddie doyle near me also does rebuilds, i think his rebuild price starts at 2k.Dont think i would bother rebuilding it though.
Your right about the engine.I put telephone numbers into my gtr engine to achieve that kind of power.

If it blows,SR it ;)

Blasphemy Mick!!!:eek: I guarantee if you heard the sound of my FC in person (pretty sure it has a mild street port) that you wouldnt care if you had to rebuild it every week lol, you'd still pick it over a boring same as everyone else sr. I'm actually hoping to take some new pics with a seriously improved stance next weekend, and I'll take some vids to show the sound too. :cool:

Rotaries are similar in a way to subarus. Yes they arent the most reliable engine compared to others. But nowhere near as bad as ppl make out either. Its just largely a case of ppl being afraid of the unknown IMO. Ask actual rotary owners their experiences and its nowhere near the horror story it seems to be made out to be lol. My 4AGEs actually caused me more problems ha :D

The same can be said for any engine that's been re built by a numpty !.

The problem with rotaries in Ireland is that very few people actually know much about them and a load of boys blow them up by messing around with them as if they're a conventional piston engine.

They need to be approached differently than your usual engines so do your research first and you should be fine.

I was skeptical at first but Im now a big fan of rotaries and especially the FC chassis. I believe you could have a seriously competitive FC for a lot less than an S body, especially when you consider Darren's prices on an engine build capable of big power .

Plus it will drown out every other car on the track and sound amazing, win win !
