Do you half to port a 12a if your going to turbo it and run anywhere from 8 - 15 psi
also should i go with the kevlar seals instead of steel

 

No and yes respectively. You don't need to port the motor for a turbo, but you will get better results from a mid to heavy streetport. And kevlar, or even the ceramic/aluminum, seals will vastly improve your engines chances of survival. FC3S.org sells rounded seals that have, with use every weekend for four months, stood up to heavy boost and a 100 shot of nitrous on a sand-rail. I recommend those personally, thats quite an accomplishment. Especially since the owner of the sand-rail runs crap K&N filters.

 

right on thanks
im hoping to get at least 100000 miles out of it. or am i on dope?
constantly runnin it at 8 psi then taking it up to 15 like once a month for track days and what not
also will the porting help engine life ?

thats what i am most concerned about

 

A streetport won't necessarily help engine life, other than to maximize the potential of the boost. Running 8 pounds with out the port would not give you as much power as with. Getting 100k miles shouldn't be an issue with good seals and a streetport. Just don't rev it too high and all should go well.

 

Porting will not help engine life, but it does make it run better. Most impartant thing when boosting is enough fuel and correct timing.

 

I need to get ignition upgrades right???
what should i get, could i do DLFIS from a 2nd gen?

what should the timing be set to to start with?
I need all the knowledge i can get cause my project will be starting within 7 weeks

 

Upgraded ignition does help but I was referring to timing. You would want a locked distributor or maybe a MSD BTM which retards the iginition under boost.

 

Kevlar?

 

Porting WILL increase engine life, substantially! All else equal...

 

Why is that?

 

The only way I can see it helping with engine life is to get more power with less boost. Boost kills quickly on rotaries. And certainly only with a streetport. Any amount of bridgeporting will shoot the engine to hell pretty quickly as it will cut into the coolant passages.
