Ideal boost on this engine

Ideal engine from parts

Hey all... just wanted to drop a note to get some opinions.

I have an 83 with a solid engine. As well as an 85 SE.
What I had in mind was to take the end plates from the 12A and rebuild the 13B with the 12A plates. I would like to find some Repu rotors and build it as such. Then try to find a TII intake. Build a custom turbo mani and go single turbo hoping to run 10-13 lbs of boost. Not sure what I would do for engine management, possibly the wolf system.

The idea is to build a solid turbo engine from what I have and buy the 'little' parts needed.

BTW the engine would be ported. Until I can get my hands on a turbo tranny I would run the SE tranny.

13 psi would be very easy to run. The only thing a rotary needs lots of is tuning. If that engine is tuned right, it should handle closer to 20 psi. Only then should you think about a rebuild with stronger seals and such. If you're actually going to run that Wolf3D system, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over 13 psi
