I went to a local race tracklast night ..to meet some local rotary guys...
The main reason why I went was to meet a guy who makes custom 12a Turbo manifolds...I met 2 guys last night...
1 says he would make it for 150.$ and I buy supplies....the second guy is a old guy who is a welder for 25yrs and every one know him and recommends him...but he charges $300.
I found cheaper is not always better..so I got invited to stop at his shop and check out his work...
So thats taken care of...Now on to porting...My friend who has a Starlet I bumped into last night...sold his car...hes gonna run a Miata with a tube frame..and 13b...his Starlet was fast...Hes tring tosell me the Starlets engine...FD 13b bridgeport..with J tec intake for carb/no carb...and no e shaft or rotors..for $400. is it worth it?
This will be the guy who ports and rebuild my engine...This guy is giving me a price you wont beleive...and hes workin with me on getting other work done...
My next step is finding Turbo componets...(I need to get these parts asap..so I know where to start...
a bonnet for the car...Turbo II was checking on me from Turbonetics..but no word yet..K&N is a ****** ripp off.....
I need to find out if a bridgeport will kil a t3/t4 hybrid or how about if I run a extended port...or can I find any used t60 or bigger and I can get it rebuilt...and im looking for a NPR FMIC ....
Ok sorry if you dont understan the post...its 6am ..and im happy..

Don't be saying a turbo is too big.You just need beefed up internals. :bigthumg:
