rx7 blown motor

[CatFro4]

Welcome to club ZOOM ZOOM !! x)

[TRWeiss1]

That's the plan, Herbert. This motor is still running strong, and again this video is incredibly old. Nevertheless, I've been pondering a 20B as of late...=)

[Hebert6760]

fuck v8 rotary should remains if it goes , go 20b

[scottiebones]

only things Rotaries are good for is Cooking Chickens

[TRWeiss1]

@Rotaryisgarbage, no sir, still rotary and still running strong. Compression test shows good compression and I got the oil changed along with the plugs, ready for this season. =)

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Did you get a piston engine in that car yet? If not get ready to rebuild, it will be time soon.

[budzag]

Mine does this its just normal. it always runs mint and i use mine every day for work

[TRWeiss1]

@ AtzengamerMemphis - LOL, thanks man. :) This video is actually very old, and my car has been fixed for quite some time. Thanks for the support though! I appreciate it!! =)

[AtzengamerMemphis]

@TRWeiss1 no prob dude, dont care about this retarded dude without a life and friends. He just spends time in youtube to made account, click on rotaryvids and start to spam. But I´ve never seen a comment from this retard in a video of rotorg33k or somethin.. btw, he is just biologic garbage.

did u found the problem of ur fd? Maybe u got a vacuum leak or something :P

[AtzengamerMemphis]

this video got the little brother virus called Rotaryisgarbage!

ATTENTION, THIS HUMAN (maybe its an retarded human) IS VERY ANNOYING SO JUST PUT HIM TO IGNORELIST, MARK EVERYCOMMENT AS SPAM AND HELP THIS GUY IN THE RX7 TO FIX HIS ENGINE.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

@Rotaryisgarbage check out this vid of a V8 rx7 with a blown V8 block......reliable....Dont think so!!!

youtube.com/watch?v=6Sf_pogZ8j­E

[TRWeiss1]

@ langjaijono - I wish that was the case. This is an old video, and I've rebuilt the motor since then. 2 apex seals were flat out shattered in the rear rotor housing. No amount of revving on earth would've fixed it....lol. All it would've done was score up the rotor housings some more. :P

[langjaijono]

one of ur apex seals is stuck that would cause the fluctuating idle one one side of the rotor. in the mazda manual it tells u to rev the shiat out of it to get it to get it unstuck

[TRWeiss1]

@Rotaryisgarbage - Don't get me wrong, I'd go LS1 in a heartbeat if this blows. I just decided to give the Rotary a fighting chance, now that I know it's built properly. :) But yes, there will be a V8 going in if this motor lets go...

[TRWeiss1]

@Rotaryisgarbage...

Uhhh, no...I don't recall blaming myself for it. This motor failed because 2 apex seals split in the rear housing. They were atkins seals (installed prior to me owning the car), which are known for being brittle. Combine that with the fact that the motor was making 370RWHP for a year and a half and it was enough to blow them. It had nothing to do with my maintenance, but nice try. =) Now I'm running RA 3mm black superseals, so this won't be happening again.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

@TRWeiss1 WE shall see TRWeiss. When you get tired of rebuilding the engine, let me know and I will help you. We can get you a good piston engine in there.

[TRWeiss1]

@Rotaryisgarbage

No thanks, I'll just maintain my motor properly and spend my pennies on something else. =) Have a nice day and thanks for posting!

[Rotaryisgarbage]

@TRWeiss1

LOL...that is the problem with rotary engines, it doesn't matter how you maintain them. They ruin anyway. Are you blaming yourself for this failure????

[TRWeiss1]

Rotaryisgarbage - Settle down asshat, my motor is fine. I've dyno'd several times this year and the motor's still pulling exactly as much vacuum as it was at the start of the summer. Go find something productive to do with your time instead of posting worthless comments on youtube. Maybe then you won't fail at life so much.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

@TRWeiss1

LOL..it is o.k. for now. SAve up your pennies for the next rebuild and get ready.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Did it blow yet? I am sure if it does you won't admit to it like you did in this vid. You rotards turn into liars as soon as your POS engine gets some heat.

[TRWeiss1]

Sure thing Rotaryisgarbage! Keep wasting your time digging through youtube videos and posting worthless garbage. Do you HONESTLY not have anything better to do with your life? Hey, I hope that it at least helps ya sleep at night bud! =) You sure your name wasn't supposed to be Myresponsesaregarbage? LOL...

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Keep rebuilding TRWeiss. I will laugh as I watch your progress.

[TRWeiss1]

Again, this video is WAY old news...The current motor is (and has been) fine. We just made over 500RWHP last weekend. Check my other videos. ;)

[Rotaryisgarbage]

I see the problem. You have a rotary engine. Get a piston engine in there now and be a happy driver.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Another rotary failure. Nothing new here. Status quo for the junk rotary.

Get a piston engine.

[TRWeiss1]

@ terribleoneprimo - Thanks man. :) Yep, the car is doing great...now single turbo (Garrett 500R), and made 475RWHP the last time we dyno'd. Car's down at KDR right now getting a 4" turboback exhaust bent up, then we're going back down next Saturday to dyno and break 500RWHP. =) I'll def have a video up when that happens!!

[terribleoneprimopro]

Do i spy power fc and greddy/trust turbo kit? I do. Hot shit. HOpefully this car is now rebuilt and kicking more ass.

[Tj1056]

@aji8 lol... funny how a rx7 can still drive and race with a blown motor and a v8 dont do so well with a blown motor also :)

[TRWeiss1]

LOL....Keep talking and making us all laugh. You're making yourself look like a fool. If you looked past your ignorance for a brief period of time and actually asked about the motor, I'd inform you that it had Atkins Apex seals in it, which are known to warp/split. That was the problem, had nothing to do with maintenance. Thanks for playing though. =)

[TRWeiss1]

I couldn't be happier with it, actually. :) In my experience if you maintain them properly (which granted they DO require more maintenance than a piston engine), they're plenty reliable. I've had no issues with mine since the rebuild. Thanks for the comment though.

[aji8]

@TRWeiss1

Since your motor ruined I guess you didn't maintain it properly. Is that what you are saying? All of the other rotards state it is not the engines fault so it must be your fault. It looks like your other brethern say you don't know what you are doing? Is that the case?

[rxi11]

@aji8 where's your car  wanker ? you're a troll fuck off somewhere else

[whatUsaybob]

@aji8 Back again,

Yes you are right, it IS you're fault, you fucked up you're rotary, and now you are going to be a pissant and troll about you're own failure.

Go run to mommy, and tell her we was being mean. I would like to see what she will do.

[aji8]

@TRWeiss1

Also since it was not the engine and you, what makes you think this will last. You failed to maintain the old engine. What makes you think you know what you are doing now?

[terribleoneprimopro]

@aji8 WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? Do you just go on every rotary video talking shit? Get a fucking life, mate. Seriously.

[aji8]

Another rotary engine failure....Rotary engine what a joke!

Get a piston engine and drive the car home. Get a rotary and have it towed.

[TRWeiss1]

Motor has been rebuilt quite a while ago and making over 500HP. I'm plenty happy. :) I plan to take it up to 550-600RWHP this summer.

[aji8]

@TRWeiss1

We will see you rebuilding it again then. I will laugh now. Let us know when your next rebuild is. See you posting in about a couple months if that long.

[rxi11]

@aji8 you're a troll all you do is go around in rotary pages and bag them everyone knows what a wanker you ate now .. and we're all laughing at you AGAIN

[aji8]

LOL..typical rotary. Get a piston engine in there and be happy.

[rxi11]

@aji8 LOl you get owned in every one of these ... stand by to get owned again fucktard

[aji8]

@rxi11

LOL..you do live in a different world don't you. The only time I got owned was when I bought a car with a rotary engine. I took care of that and took the junk engine out.

[whatUsaybob]

@aji8 With what? A steam engine, or a hit and miss?

You live in a different world, one where you think you're always right.

Damn can I come visit? :)

[TRWeiss1]

LOL @ the apex seals being easy to fix comment. :P I had the motor completely rebuilt, studded, 3 mm black superseals, etc, etc...

It's all good now. :)

[TRWeiss1]

Thanks for the advice. :) I actually already did the spark plug test, and it's missing beats/pulses in the rear housing...So I'm guessing an Apex seal failed and it only has compression on 1 side of the rotor. :(

Motor comes apart soon, so I'll keep you posted! Thanks again.

[AshleyGleaveDesign]

Compression test is the only way to tell, or failing that, whip out a plug from each rotor and turn the engine over, listening for consistent, strong "whooshes".

Could just be a cracked or chipped apex seal, as you'd have trouble even starting it if the seal had disintegrated completely.

As you said, don't keep running it, you might be causing more damage that you'll need to pay for in the event of a rebuild.

Hope you get it sorted, looks like a very nice Rex from what I can see.
