New wankel

Got the parts to engine and now it is rebuild. now some litle thing's more and i can start to put the engine back to its place. need to make engine bracket and new cluch after that it is more laite hours and work and she will run again.

Old Wankel

So i got the engine out from the car and took it whit me in work. Took first block off and it was ok no problem in there just worn out apex seals, after the secend chamber were opened i started to laugh, apex seal had braken from the midle and destroyed the rotary piston and the chamber. So i ordered new chamber and rotary piston and all seals.

Next test

So i changed the spark blugs but theye didn't help the idling problem i had but thought that she runs this summer and at winter ill check whats the problem.
I bought the aem ueco and installed it. fuel air mixature is nice in big rews but the idling its getting really much gas.
So i took her and drove to alastaro for free run, i drove all tank of gas and the engine after every round seemed to idle worse and worse, but the power and everything els was good so i didn't think that it would be problem. After last round i was thinkin that ill shut her down and smoke sigaret and left to home and that was not so good thing to do, becouse after that it woulden't start again. So i called to my frien to come whit trailer and pick me up.
After some weeks i started to look for the problem chekced every engine electronick and everything was ok, after that i checked compression of the engine and there were no compression, well i need to take the engine out and put it to peases thats not bad job to do maybe apex seals are onely broken i thought.

Plan

The plan was to get her to track asp. and the day were in ahvenisto, so i arrived to track and it was wet ass hell damn it, so we started to get now eachother better running some slow round's picking up the speed slowly but steady, i found out that FD is really slippery machine in wet really hard to put all out when you are 3rd gear and push pedal to the floor and she start's wheel spin asap when boost comes in game. Later on track starts to dry and then we had some nice lap's but found litle problem, Biggest problem whit wankel engine is the heat and i started to found out that my baby was worming up too much. so we ride that day nicely and went to home.
still that idling problem is there but lets hope that its not big thing need to bye new spark blugs maybe theye are just worn out.

Test Day

So it came new day and wankel engine says good morning to me when she starts up, and we head to work. I was driving across highway and playing whit apexi and tryeing to get some sense to the hand panel wanted to see some sensor values, after a while fould them and started to play litle whit the boost, found out that the turbos were pumping 0,95bar pressure and 8950rpm :) And the most important thing was that she put wide smile across my face :D

Finally home whit FD

Finally arrived home from work after some check up. Car is running nice and smooth exept the idling is litle od but maby that's just becouse the machine has not runned in long time.
Tomorrow we need to have litle proper test drive :)

Arrival

5.8 2008 I got really nice call from JDM Factory, he told me that she has arrived finally to finland :) Jeij the happy day.

Next day was the first meating whit my new machine, we went to port to pick her up and hurried back to work (was late onely 5hour's :P)
Same day i changet the oil and started to check the car what she was packed whit and we fould some nice surprises. FD was packed whit some parts that dealer were not told to us.
This is the list that we have now in the car, öhlin's suspension and rear upper toe bars, apexi power fc, hks intake and turbo piping, Blitz exhaust (cat back), big aluminium radiator don't know maker of that, and some meter's from defi, the rims are racing sparco.

Beginning the journey

So this is how the journey starts. I bought 1995 year FD-3S in 2008 from JDM Factor, and this is how she looked in shipyard in japan waiting shipping to finland.
