i'm getting my jspec 89 13BT locally. it should be a good engine. i'll find out when i go pick it up next week. rotaries are easy to check for compression when they are out of the car. pull spark plugs and spin the flywheel then listen for whooshes

 

[Nick]

Not a very good way of testing a engine for good compression.


Yes it tells you it has some, but maybe not much.

You can use a standard compression guage, but you have to take the compression sensing portion apart, so the pintle is not enclosed.

 

[Vosko]

its very crude but that can be the difference from buying a blown jspec or a good jspec. i told my friend to do it to his jspec and what do you know front rotor was GONE no apex seal! obviously if you can use fuji seiki rotary compression tester

 

[Mazdaspeedgirl]

damn...I love it. Can I hang out with you guys? As much as it was a pain when I had to work on my ex's 3rd gen for him, I still miss it and have much to learn.

 

[Nick]

If you have small hands

I am doing a 89 intake swap on my RX, and I can't seem to fit my hands underneath the intake to finish it up.

 

[Vosko]

that shouldn't be hard to find there are tons of FD's in TX!

 

[Protg Mnac]

The egnine is 4k, but doesnt it cost like 30-40k to actually INSTALL that sob?

I have a friend who has a 20B fd conversion. He spent about $35K on the total conversion itself, with discounts on some parts with a hookup.

I would NEVER compare paying $70K for a 3-rotor fd to buying an M3 or Viper, ect...people will pay for what they want, especially for something hardly anyone has (about a dozen 3-rotor fd's in North America) and with such AWESOME power!!!

It's like saying "Why do you want that Mac when this Dell is the same price and "better"?"
it's all a matter of personal preference.
