Hey zedicus, Thanks for the feedback. I don't know much about that process but open to give it a shot if it works. Right now I just need to get the thing marginally running and things for now have taken a turn for the worse it would appear..So I have not really made any progress on this...
@zedicus, thanks for the info.The project has been stagnant for a while but I made some progress this week. I finally got around to building an electric furnace to do this..I located some powdered metal, and made a die to press the powder. Here is the die I cam up with....And here is the...
I had not thought of that but good point. I'm sure that is the case. I'll probably hack together a simple signal inverter between the CAS and the ECU for now.
No I had not heard of that cam sensor. Thanks for sharing. I'll look into it. I'll shoot Jafro a message it sounds like he knows his stuff when it comes to that.Thanks for the advice. Yes I need to get the coolant sensor fixed for sure. I need to get a new pigtail ordered as well as the iac...
Thanks for the suggestion. Silicon nitride is on my list of things to try. I did not know they used them for apex seals so that is good to know. When I was first looking into the rotary engine it the only material I could find being talked about being used for the seals them was nitrided cast...
Probably a few weeks. The powdered metal probably is not going to get here until late this week or early next week. Also I need to figure out how I am going to get the right temperature for sintering. I don't think my furnace I have is going to hold the right temp. I went to a salvage yard today...
Thanks. I tried to start it the other day but the seals blew out .
I have some material on order to make some new seals. I'm going to attempt to make them from powdered metal with a solid lubricant in them.
I got the sensor installed and am getting spark and fuel. I cranked her over. Some spits and sputters but will not start. I think the ignition timing is off. I'll hook up a timing light next to see where it's at.So close..
Yes I think that would be the case of not timed correctly. I would have put it on the intake side but the regulator on the fuel rail is in the way. The cam gears turn the same direction and I hopefully timed it correctly. If there is something I'm not understanding let me know.
Yes I used the OEM cam gears and they are in the stock position relative to the block so I can use the OEM timing belt.There are metal gears the OEM cam gears are connected to, these drive the rotary valves. This setup actually results in the rotary valves turning the same direction and speed...
Ahhhhh it never ends. So I'm not getting spark anymore. I was not getting a signal from the CPS originaly. So I took it out and there was some metallic debris stuck on it as it's magnetic. I cleaned everything off and it started working. And now nothing but sometimes I can get it to work but its...
Thanks a bunch guys! That is just what I need to know to get this worked out.Yes two sensors. The one in question on the exhaust "cam" and I also have the stock crank angle sensor that has the three wire triangular plug.No, I am not on there. If you know someone that has done this with a...
I'm so close. I got the fuel pump wired up and fuel lines connected today. My knock sensor and CAS came in today as they were broken (as in peices) on the donor car... Unfortunately I hit a bit of a snag with the CAS. The car the motor came out of is a '95 Talon but the block has a different VIN...
