I was wondering & couldn't find on any post? Other than the K.&N. air cleaner,regular oil changes,& new plugs,nothing else has been done to the engine,I've just bought a Racing Beat header for my 12a & would like to know,how much more HP will I squeeze out of that little thing.It's an "83" with just 104,kms.I plan on doing a tonne more mods,but it's just the $$$ right now that keeps slowin' me down.THANKS ALL :sigh:

are u just installing the headers, or the whole RB exhaust?

If its a whole exhaust, youll definately see, hear and feel the difference. the less restrictive the exhaust, the more gains. Ive heard numbers of around 20 horses.

Isn't this the 1 gen section?? I'm new here - want to make sure I'm not missing something in navigating this site https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Get the exhaust opened up as much as you can afford. The rotary loves an open exhaust. You will be happy with the power gains.

I have a 84 GS now that my tranny went on my GXL. What do you all think about this set up 91 13B from my GXL :RB header back, electric fan, no a/p or a/c, and my Dellorto with RB upper manifold. that should be around 200Hp? what do you all think.

yayarx7 05-22-2002 01:05 PM

what year motor? If it is the lower compression one I'd say in the neighborhood of 200.

No. That was my idea. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png. Ill most likely bridge port a 13B with a dellorto set up.

Bridge port thats not good for a daily driver is it. I was thinking street port

I have an 84 GS..12a which 84/85 12 A's are the best compression..



Racing Beat Intake...

Holley 600 double pumper

Holley blue fuel pump/with regulator pushing 7lbs of fuel

Racing Beat road race headers...

Y of the header to 2 1/2 in pipes to a presilencer..then back to a Mozart DTM tip style muffler

2nd gen (I think trailing coils)which is better than stock..and if did the MSD conversion you need 2 MSD boxes(most racersjust use 2nd gen coils.)

ClutchMasters Clutch

Running NGK Plugs for Street ported engine...



I have alot of other little things....and dont know what Im pushing on this non ported engine...But I have beaten a good number of cars..Im thinking and hoping im up to or about 200 horses?



And I will go all out and bridge port it ..with 50-100 shot of Nitrous..
