you cant realy improve your low end that much in a rotary... most of the performance gains are found in the upper rpm's. you can however try to at least maintain you low end while improving your top end. for example if your exhaust is too high flow i believe youll lose some bottom end while increasing the peak hp... the idea is to balance the mods

So I know that mainly the "feeling" of going fast comes from higher levels of torque. What mods can I do to my GSL that would increase torque as well as HP, keeping in mind that I dont want to destroy my low end https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Torque??? Who needs torque?



Go for hp, there is no way to gain both.

Put some exhaust on it and keep it in the upper RPM range, where it makes all its power.

displacement is best for torque, we dont have the luxury

Changing your gearing can increase your torque greatly. However it can also kill your gas mileage and top speed.

Rukh-Add a header,Exhaust and if you don't have emissions tests all the emissions junk(smog pump, ACV,Just leave the main cat there).Other than that I'd say splurg on a racing carb and do some weight reduction where it can be done.Gearing works but hurts the gas bill.Can you put FC3 gears on a First gen?I heard that you can swap the series 5 5 bolt hubs and rear end with slight modifying?Anybody know if this is true.I heard that the 5 lug rear bolts right up,The front hubs have to be slightly modified to fit tho. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

What you need, rukh, is a supercharger. :bigthumg:

CSP12a 10-21-2002 09:37 PM

A supercharger on a 12a?? for the price why dont you just swap in a TII 13b?? Cant beat the tried and true turbo.

Damn ricers could be fast if you put taller gears in it.

SoRRoW 10-25-2002 07:26 PM

lol...good one

Go to Paul Yaw`s website and adjust the timing to his specs.It will increase torque and hp.I did it on a friends 30k `82 7, and you could feel the difference, he is still running the hermal reactor exhaust manifold
