wuttups guys...i dont really think you guys remember me...i have an 87 gxl which had all sorts of problems...everything from flooding, to car not starting, to no power to coil packs, to doors not opening....



i ended up fixing everything....and the cars running like a dream....reving wonderfull and everything....my baby has 162k miles on it and still kicking hard...thanks to you guys for your help!!



heres my thing though....i'm thinking of getting a rotoray from a junkyard or something so i can start a rebuildin process without touchin my daily driver....i'm planing to replace the seals with some new better ones....planning to get the motor ported...and i'm also planning to turbo the motor with the port....



now i'm planning to get an s4 4 port being that everything will bolt up.....my questions to you guys are..... (keep in mind this will be my 1st rebuild on a rotary)



(can you guys give me your advise on these questions if i was to go turbo and if i wasn't so i can have a better idea)



1. what type of seals should i get??

2. what type of rotors should i run??

3. the manifold i have is for a t-4 housing.....do you guys recommend a smaller turbo?

4. what type of port?? (being that i'm goin turbo)

5. what should i use for fuel??...should i still use the 550's from a t2 or bigger??

6. what should i use for an ecu??

2. s4 t2 is 8.5:1 compression, s5+ is 9.0:1 and a little lighter. you can run more boost on the s4 rotors at the expense of a little reponse off boost



3. t4 is the size you want



4. either stock, or a street port



5. depending on how much hp you want, at least the 550's



6. pick the ecu you can get the most local support for

i was just talking to a guy who has done the 6 port street port turbo running with a piggy back afc with a t4 and he tells me that he running perfectly fine....i was thinking of using the s4 rotor (undesicive wheter the t2 or stock ones will work...)i was also plannig on using a 4 port motor but i would like to use a 6 port motor tho....with a stock t2 ecu...obviously my injecters are goin to be atleast 550 all around...and another thing is how hard is it to do the work myself??

if you're gonna do a turbo motor you might as well just do a turbo motor, and do the 4 port
