Re Club [rotary Engine Cars]

aibon dude,

if reliability you're looking for and you have the budget i'd definitely use the fd 13b engine. Parts in abundance and we have our own inhouse engine rebuilding facility ;)

Congratulations on your purchase matey. There are a couple of good places to acquire information bout the fc3s eg. rx7club.com and nopistons.com Check these places out for general information. With regards to looking after your engine, pretty much how you look after pistons. SOme points to follow.

1) Regular engine oil change
2) Change out fluids (probably never done by previous owner)
a.Diff
b.Tranny
c.Radiator (use only distilled water,coolant and Redline Water Wetter)

3) Considering the main problem with rotary is cooling i'd suggest you keep a close eye that.
4) Some gauges would help. Unlike ricers, the rotary can definitely do with gauges especially;
a) Boost (if you're running turbo)
b) Water Temp
c) Oil Temp
d) Oil Pressure
The list just goes on i suppose.

Mileage really depends on the condition of your engine. On the FD i get approx 200km from RM50. Still not tuned yet so hopefully with some tuning i'd see some difference.

Are you going to join us for the Frasier's Hill Drive? You should come and meet with other RE owners to learn more bout your car and ways you can mantain her. Keep us posted. And before i forget - Welcome To The Club Mate!!

Oh ok ill keep an eye on those things u mentioned ! I just hope the car doesnt break down alot (seen alot of FC's on the emergency lane with thier hood poped up) . Its gona be my everyday car from now on ...

Well ill try to make it for the Fraser Hill trip , have an exam during the 2nd week of july ! Hope to meet u guys soon . Thanks for the info phat7

Aibon dude,

Please feel free to rev the rotary hard. the engine loves high revs!! Provided you have a strong engine you'd be having endless fun.

to rebuild an engine how much would it cost?
