...is much friendlier then the big board. I don't post there anymore. Alot of the folks on there give out bad information.



And I think they shunned me anyway since I used to work off and on at Puresports in ramona.



Anyway. I might as well as introduce myself since I have been leaching information from this board. I will say that the Atmosphere is more my speed. More Technical discussion. Over there is just Blah Blah.



Anywho.



I have to many car projects.



My FB LE, RB Springs Tokico Blues, RB Full Length Header. Rocking a JDM 12a with Nikki. In the works: GSLSE Front and rear, ISC Racing Spherical Control arms and TC Rods. (all in storage)



I still haven't decided if I want to go 13b. 6 Port or 4 port. Here is my dilemma and please chime in:



1) Keep the 12a I have 4 good cores, turbo and FI the 12a then swap back to smog when ****'s come knocking. And 12a's are dirt cheap. And I have 2 new rotor housings and carbon 1 piece apex seals (From a now Defunct IT car).



2) do a Smog legal 6 port swap. These parts are cheap and I can find tons of them in the Junk yard.



3) do a smog legal TII swap. Not as cheap or accessable. Especially in the Yard.



Now here is the main dilemma. I have 2 Renesis rotors!!!



Should I build a knarly 6 port? overall cheaper than a TII or TII? or Sell the Renesis Rotors and stay 12a goodness?



My other project is a 88 GTX

and a Defunct 79 IT car.

Welcome to nopistons! I moved this to 1st gen, you should get more technical responses there.

My dream streetable high hp na engine would consist of a 6 port 13b, auxillaries bridgeported and functional with pineapple sleeves, use those Renesis rotors, light flywheel, street/strip clutch, keep the cats on and add an electric cutout at the header and add a 50 wet shot of nitrous using trigger switches that activate it when both the auxillaries are open "and" you are at full throttle (this will limit the nitrous use to a degree and keep it from coming in too soon). The wet system will help will the fuel enrichment needed for the bridged auxillaries and keep the stock computer and still maintain emissions. All the while, you end up with a light-weight 200rwhp rocket without the fuss of a tubo/standalone etc etc. This would be able to kill any stock TII and beat a lot of modified TII's as well.

I was leaning torwards a built 6port. Just because a 6 port can follow my DET theory as well. More than likely, after smog I would put the standalone in. MegaSquirt!!! FTW!!!11! I would propbably also make the MS inline like I did with the 88 Mazda GTX.

I did:
I think the J-spec 12A turbo would be sweet. Why,, well for starters its different. TII swap is cool but its been done alot. Not that that is a bad thing, being rotary folks we love whats different and a built 12A turbo is just that. 12A's are tought and with the right components and tuning would nasty and probably turn alot of heads make people go hmmmmmm.

I agree. I was going to do that with my 78 but went instead to a polished port 12a with RB exhaust ida 48 weber w/ 38mm ventries and light wieght flywheel, stainless everything, 2nd gen alt. with relocation braket (pineapple), and gilmer pulley kit. She is at about 175 at the flywheel at around 6k. I get alot of "what the hell is in that car?" looks. She purrs beautifully and scares hondas into the quivery mass of scrap that they are.. HAHAHA. Anyway at 2300lb with me in it and doing the 1000lb=100hp rule you could say i am putting down the equivelent of 200hp at the wheels compared to most new cars... which equals one hell of a good time....lol
