How much does it cost for apex seals? I'm talking just parts, and any other part that goes along with an apex seal job.

Rotor housings, sometimes rotors, bout 2000 in parts.

What the fuck at that price you could just buy a used piston engine and rebuild it.

>>17419546
That's exactly it, the transmission. 1 revolution of the crankshaft is only equivalent to .33 of the rotors themselves, so if they transmission could handle it, you could go much higher than most do. The USDM FD hits the rev limiter at about 8100 to save the transmission.

Check out Jay Leno's Cosmo 110 and RX-3 videos. He mentions hitting 11 or 12k RPM.

I assume that the apex seal would be moving to fast as well

>>17419931
Rotor housings + rotors + irons + seals means you've just rebuilt the rotary entirely.

>>17420016
2000 in parts + the cost of a core engine to rebuild in the first place

>>17420054
I'm not sure I understand you. That is the core engine. A rotary doesn't have a block. Those parts ARE the engine.

>>17420054
Shit even at 2000 grand you can build up a 4 banger and make the same amount of power as a rotary for that money or buy a new engine or buy a used ls1 less monies and buy other things along with it to swap it into a car wtf. This is why rotary engines are not that popular in most places

At 2000 grand I don't think you have to worry about any price desu.
