there is almost no way for the rotary to mix coolant and oil

Few things to say on this matter:



I disagree with you all, lol. Honestly, yes Turbo is more fun and faster, but it is more expensive, not as reliable and cuases many headaches. If you buy a blown T2 and rebuild its motor..thats cool, but converting NA to T2 isn't all its cracked up to be, lol.



Second...JSPECS SUCK ***!



Third...if your looking for an S4 jspec motor, your looking to pay from $600 to $900 plus about $120 in shipping(motor freight).



Fourth..the jspecs to have the emissions equip already on them, so like jd said..you wont have to worry about the ACV, air pump...yada yada..



Fifth...you SHOULDNT have to change your dash harness when converting, but I did, lol...



Finally...an NA streetable car w/ an NA built motor can easily run low 13s..I've seen it...then again you can always sacrifice a little streetability for speed and run 12s w/ an NA street car...but we're talkin hella motor/driveline build, lol...



To sum myself up...either buy the T2 and rebuild it...or build up your NA GTUs, conversions are bad..mmmkay.*

ps. TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

pss TURBO!!!! ALL BOW TO THE TURBO!!!!!!!!!

 

Ive been thinking of turboing my vert lately but i've also been thinking of selling it.

 

that would be awesome

 

so say you paid 900 plus 150 shipping plus 400 to rebuild.... isn't that a good deal for a practically brand new turbo engine?

 

900+150 to get an iffy motor + 2000 for a rebuild. But if you rebuild it urself it can be much much cheaper, IF all the parts inside are good.

 

Yea...gotta remember..they SAY the jspec has 20K or so miles, but there is no proof...I for one am now an avid Jspec H8TR!!! The one i got had a totally worn out stock clutch, so i nkow that it was either driven a lot, or driven hard...both arent good..thats why it ran like **** when i had it installed. Also, i paid 1000 for my S5 Jspec mtoor plus 500 for a tranny w/ 12K on it, and then 190 for shipping...

 

Hey Seppuku, where'd you get that gif in your sig? That's so cool.
