That's pretty cool. It looks like the next mod it needs is direct fire with a DIS coil.

Very nice. A FMIC is needed desperately though. All that hot air thrown into the engine could be devastating.

And what carb is that?

If you look at other cars Rotorshack has built you will see that he seldom uses a FMIC or any IC for that matter.

Next mod, route those lines. You're covering up a good engine with ugly wires.

$80.00 and its guaranteed to bog, use a ton of gas, idle rough, and hard to start when hot... but it will take boost

Any dyno numbers? I have a Saab T3 turbo, and was wondering what kind of power I would get by using it in my 7. I have a Saab 9000 intercooler too, any experience on that?

yah, the saab and volvo turbos work, but they are not the best...

the exhaust is a bit small for a rotary so you wont make tons of power but you can still have some fun...

example the motor is a stock port u.s. 85 12a and with the turbo set at max boost only makes 10 psi!!
