Thanks for the link.
That's why I thought an aux. bridge would work well. Good low/mid range with the ports closed then a pretty good top-end with the ports open... the problem is I can't make it work with the stock manifold. So the basic dillema becomes: Is the weight penalty worth the trade off of driveability. It's very close in my mind, but I honestly don't know what kind of midrange power I'm looking at. I've only drive rotaries a couple times. That and a header tuned on the dyno should give you a very strong midrange with a very broad torque curve. You will want gears, because the power below 3k will be down some, but you should have a huge, mostly flat torque curve that covers most of the powerband. And it will have enough top end that you wont find yourself running out of rpm's. The intake porting wont need much work. The 6 port housings have a lot of port area/timing. The center housing has a lot of potential, but not much needs to be done to the end housings. Keeping the overlap to a minimum will make the engine have a strong midrange. |
Thanks for the input.
Do you think that setup will make the kind of power I need? |
u can do about 180 at the wheels if you get a good exahsut, and an aftermarket intake manifold with idividual throtltle bodies with stock ports.
i dont think that an fc can ever be a competitive auto crosser. |
So you've never heard of Steve O'Blenes then?... BP National Champ? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Woo Hoo! My life just got a lot easier (potentially). SCCA is talking about phasing out the weight penalties for fuel injection. Hopefully they won't change the min. weight very much, if at all.
Aux. BP with custom manifold here I come! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
Ive seen NA fc's dyno at 174rwhp with bolt ons and a street port. a bridge is only worth 6 hp?? stock FC's with all the bolt ons do 160+ rwhp..
|
where did u see a bridge with 174whp?
