I wanna come, can i come? I can even possibly tow my car down there lol.

-Matty

 

I can't work on the car till I get Chris' car done. :P

But you are next in line

Then Saheed, I belive.

 

lol, I got a letter the other day that says I'm banned from driving in virginia

just another reason for me not to have to go there... I really don't mind.

 

haha... you too!?!!

 

anyone have a blown vg30 engine they'd want to give to me ?
all i need to be good is the block and crank, the rest can be ****.

 

How did you pull that off?

 

if I would have noticed that a couple days ago I would have been down for checking out the procedure

working nights makes it hard to do everything, even slack off on the internet

 

My engine's smoking pretty bad above 5K RPM. How much, how long (wait and downtime) go get my '88 NA rebuilt? I'll be on vacation the first 2 weeks of august - that'd be a great time for it to get worked on... Let me know!

Tofu,
I am back from overseas and hit up Dan's shop last night. I also have a 91 5speed NA ecu. I am about ready to part that 91 out and did not know of you needed the harness or computer. I know Dave is ready to buy a MS for a 89 vert so call me tonight and let me know.

 

To reduce downtime, bring me a core engine and I will rebiuld that . . . Call me and I'll tell you the price.



Sounds cool to me, we're out of MegaSquirts right now, and we are about to mail out the first ten. But the next batch should actually be slightly better (more refined) units. Thats why there is a price increase. How is your car doing? And, more importantly, how is Dave doing?

You have a bad VG30? Cause I'd like a good aluminum block and some pistons to make a coffee table.

 

lol... not quite :P

my cousin brought back a single-turbo vg30 stuffs from japan.
everything except the block and crank.

 

Just use the block and crank out of any engine

They're all the same.

I have some spare blocks and cranks out of 13B engines . . .

 

what happened to the lexus V8?

 

Glad to see an active group in MD. This weekend, I'm picking up '85 GSL with a 13b recently rebuilt and a 12a in need of a rebuild (neither motor installed). The end goal is a track car that is street legal to drive to the track.

Current thinking is to put in the 13b to get it on the road (and through emissions) and have the 12a modified for the track. I have much research to do...

- Todd

 

todd.. how about doing a 3 rotor swap?.. or just bridge port the 13b and call it a day.. :-D no need for the 12a..

 

agreed...the 12a is less useful than you'd think.

















so give me the housings.

 

What's your budget.

I'm trying to get into Spec7 as it's low budget track racing.

In Spec7, you are allowed NO driveline modifications, so everyone has the same car. It all boils down to driver skill... I actually think that's the best.

Any ******* can cram cash into their car. It takes talent to actually drive it correctly.

That being said, "NO driveline modifications" means you keep the 12A.

 

what about the 13b?... if you go wit peles idea.. then part out the 13b and uh.. i'll take one housing and rotor.. :-D

 

some how I doubt he want's to part out a rebiult 13b

he could probably get a lot more for it just selling it as a whole.

 

Hey, any other chicks in the md area on here?

 

Faln :p

And my wife :p

 

Sigh, no one told me taking the fender off was such a bitch. I mean come on they cover up two bolts that you need to get too just to take it off sigh. Well I got it off after much much frustration and cursing lol. Though the car is still not running, at least i can get the outside looking somewhat better by fixing the dents.

-Matty

 

Yeh, these fenders suck.

I hate them.
. . . .


Why are you taking off the fender to solve an engine problem?

 

Thanks for all of the comments. Prepare for dumb questions/answers from a rotary noob...

A "3 rotor swap" is a engine swap to a newer different 13B? If so, which engine so I can research it, although I have 2 engines that probably aren't worth 50% of the cost of what you're suggesting. The 13B is a 6-port, is bridge porting an option on it?

I suspect I'll have lots of spare parts if I can get some wrench assistance

At this point I'm just looking at open track days, so I'm not building to a class. I had an NSX on the track a couple times and loved it, but I was stressed the whole time watching the guard rails wizz by. I all about making the driver fast 1st, but 105-135hp is just not enough

The budget is "a few thousand dollars" and will be driven most by the bang for the buck. My experiance has been the 1st X addional hp are cheap, and after that you pay a fortune for small improvements.

See above

It was rebuilt about 20k ago and isn't exactly whole right now. The prior owner was working on adding a turbo before he moved to another project and sold it to me. Right now it is on it's way to EFI or needs a carb.

Thanks again,
