? on N/A vs turbo II performance
i am looking either(first rotary i'm gonna buy) for a n/a or turbo II FC. Is their an advantage of the n/a FC
over the turbo II version? Is thier more potential in the n/a version? any more info would be a help.
thanks,

Regardless of your choice, good luck.

Well...it all depends what you want from the car. If you want something that can beat the average ricer an NA will work fine. If you want 14s or lower get a TII. But remember modding a TII is a much more sensitive process. You have to make sure you have the adequate fuel supplied for your mods(boost).

the 86-87 n/a had 146Hp stock and the 88-91 n/a had 162Hp stock. with these so called bolt-ons (i.e. new intake, exhaust, etc) you could bump the power up to alot more considering how restrictive both the exhaust and intake on the Fc is. so porting isn't the only way either, you could get carbon apex seals or just add a 50 shot of nitrous. well anyway those apex seals are smoother and they say ( i don't have any proof) that the less drag from the seals causes an increase in Hp and torque.

You would have to go with a very large BP or PP to get close to that much. If your looking for that much HP get a TII definitely.

If you were to BP or PP a NA, a stand alone computer is a MUST, a PP would be more like 300HP (probably more, RB claims 350hp on a 4port block using NA rotors, using crbs that is), a BP is "probably" around 250hp-275hp.

Would run low 14's I think. Not sur ethough.

Forget about RWHP for a minute...It's all about the money you want to spend. (NOTE: The numbers below are averages. Don't nit-pick) Lets examine some numbers...
NA Car (running) = $500-2500 bucks
Bolt on mods (header, silencer, mufflers, 6 port sleeves, intake, struts, sway bars, springs, AFC, etc...) = $2500+
Ported Rebuilt Engine = $2000
total = anywhere from $5000-7000. Done. RWHP Should be in the 170-180+ range. More if the engine is tuned and ported well. In the end, it will be fun to drive and very reliable.
Turbo car (running) = $2000-4500
Bolt on mods (down pipe, silencer, mufflers, intake kit, front mount intercooler, turbo upgrades, injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator, struts, sway bars, springs, AFC?, gauges, boost contorller, Haltech? etc...) = $7000 and up, uP, UP!
Ported Rebuilt Engine = $2500
total = anywhere from $11,000-"skys the limit!". You'd never be done b/c there is always something to try. RWHP Should be in the 250-400 range. In the end, it will be an animal to drive and *possibly* reliable.
Remember, this is before you add paint, rims, and any other body kit parts!!! So how much do you want to spend?

Unless you get a BP or a PP the N/A engine will last forever even with the mods and street porting.
The turbo car reliabilty is iffy. That is more dependant on how you build the engine up. but it is deffinatly alot less than a N/A ALOT less.

It's fun at the dragstrip but you CANNOT drive that on the street, unless you are the only person in your town. It's loud and primarily it's noisy. By noisy I mean not only is it high volume but it's rather obnoxious as well.
Of course, some people LIKE the way it sounds... like King Kong's chainsaw on nitromethane.
