that looks so good i only can dream that it was under my hood

 

Damn, that's a pretty good price for a freshly rebuilt long block with all those goodies.

Somebody ****** it up for $2950!

 

Yeah really, thats freaking hot.

 

oh my god i wish i had enough money for that... and a ecu for it, and fuel managment... lol

 

I saw this engine at Pineapple Racing during the tech day and everybody was drooling over it!!!

 

damn, if this were only posted after tax returns....

 

I like it too... however, for street use... I dont like the idea that is a direct set up.... no intercooler.... too much hot air into your engine. Direct set up is best in drag racing...

I prefer this set up.

 

Nice.. But that setup comes from factory without an Intercooler.
It can easily be modified to adapt one in.

Also, I am curious as to how much power your 12A Turbo has put
down on a dyno. Any Track times too?

Real nice, clean setup.

 

Thanks man...

Dyno #s: 236rwhp @ 10PSI

No track numbers.....street use only

 

good god i wish i had money, that would be so sweet under the hood of my 83 project...... ugh

 

am I one of the only FB guys that isn't caught up in the whole turbo thing?

yeah it would be nice, but I rather enjoy the FB's as they are right now.

 

Drive a FB with a turbo and I bet you'll never say that again

 

I'm not caught up in the "turbo thing", but I am rather caught up in "supercharger thing." I think it is such a great thing, and I wish I had the funds for it.

I'll just stick with my streetport for now.....

 

12a turbo's are the hawtness man...although my next project will be a N/A 20b...

 

my engine looks like that...although the paint is not that shiny...maybe I should haul her out and paint it with metallic paint...20b would be nice but its way...way too much work for just one person to do alone!!!

 

i did most of my work my slef on my 12a T....i think i can take on a 20b conversion...

Hay where do u get thoes mods fopr that 12a turbo of yours? any website i can look at?

 

Me, too If the Camden on the 13B does what the Paxton did on the small block Chevy V8, then count me IN

 

Whos is it? I wanna see it in person!

Agreed. Once you spool, you'll never go back to N/A again....lol

 

I like supers in basica concept, but I've been drooling over the "stock" 12aT idea for a while now. I would love to have that engine, it's an absolute beauty.

I've had a ride in a modded 10th AE FC before and let me tell ya, that thing pulled like a mother. I can only imagine what that engine would be like in a 1st gen.

 

I get enough turbo time in the duramax and the powerstroke.

Nothing quite like feeling those trucks spool while towing trailers.

Especially the duramax.

 

yes

 

Mostly fabricated.....
Check out my Website or read this.

The first thing you need to do is to rebuilt and mildly port the engine.
There is NO Turbo kit for 12A's.... You need to fabricate. Is really simple....
To fabricate a Turbo manifold......first, get a 12A exhaust Flange from Racing Beat also get the gasket.
Second.... go to EBAY.COM and get this 13B Turbo Manifold(93-95 RX7): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742
Next.... Cut the tip/corners of the 13b flange bolt holes..... place the new 12A flange ON TOP and TIG WELD it..... See this picture: (

Finally... get the Turbo and Wastegate.
For the Turbo.... I got a medium size one ( Garrett T4E, .60 compressor, .69 Turbine, P Trim ) I paid about 500 for it.
NOTE: YOU MUST port ( at least ...mild street porting ) your engine.
Entire budget is about $1,700 by doing it yourself.... and over $3,500 if done at a shop.
You will get around 250 horse power at the wheels @ 10 PSI Boost ( with selected Turbo and mild street porting)
