i wonder how hard it would be to find the externals for those motors...and then convert your 12a to 12a turbo with fuel injection....are the blocks the same?
but its definately the japan 12a turbo with fuel injection...and i do believe 140 hp

GOT WANKEL?
about a week ago, i think robert posted that he hadn't seen one of those in his shop in about a year and also said it would be easier and cheaper to turbo a carb'd stock 12a.

I always thought it was 160hp. Even so the 12a jspec turbo had no intercooler so slap one of those on and you will be at 160 for sure.
It is a great base engine to start with. No turbo prping BS or any of that. Just swap and go. You can also do a bit of fiddling and probably bring teh engine up to around 200-250hp easy.

It's not a simple bolt-in exercise, being efi you will have to upgrade to a high pressure fuel system with surge tank. The analogue ecu will need replacing with a digital fuel only ecu such as a Microtech LT4, and locking the dizzy. Adding a front mounted intercooler will allow boost to be increased giving more power but only advisable if the engine is in good condition, while a better header and exhaust will be needed. This should get you 200hp. It is certainly far more than a bit of fiddling.
To get decent power above that you will need a bigger turbo, street port, two more injectors, plus a light flywheel, stronger clutch, and possibly a 13BT gearbox. Not forgetting a BOV and RRR. If it's going into an FB its best to go to a FMOC with the shorter SA radiator. The se back end is an advantage as is a fuel/ignition ecu.

Rebuild, port, sterling then eventually blow through turbo.
