That wouldn't happen if you were running an sr20.

The same can be said for any motor. It all depends on the people that run them. If your buddy went through 5 motors I would think he was doing something very wrong. There are plenty of people that have made good reliable horsepower on sr20's because they do it right.

Any ideas on what happened? That housing looks insane, I have rarely seen both housings and rotors get trashed.

As far as sr's go, I love them for daily driver engines. My sr got 32mpg, but I would never use one to try and make horse power. I think the rotary is easier and cheaper to make power, along with having more displacement.

We had to push start your car after stopping at TGIF's, that's what happened.

Well recent update!

pulled the engine out in a whopping 2 hours had it apart in about 3hours heres just 3 pics







after Kevin (Rotary Resurrection) took it apart for me we found aout 7 (3mm solid corner seals) completely broken and out of the 6 apex seals 1 did survive so i have trashed both rotors and both housings! YAY!

Well off to work i go now to keep the rotary dream alive...
