I just saw a JDM 6-Port 12a sell on ebay for $570. Does anyone know how much HP that engine would put out? Or, how easy the swap would be?

 

I can find out how much power

I don't know if it'd be worth it. It's carbureted, and the '81-85 4-port manifold looks scary enough on the inside, who knows how ugly the 6-port's intake manifold looks Maybe you could hog out a 4-port's end runners (similar to people putting T2 manifolds on 6-port 13B blocks) or something.

dmrh.com.au (excellent Japanese-rotary site) says 130hp @ 7000, 16.5kg/cm torque @ 4000 (conversion? somehow I keep getting 228lb-ft which is impossible) says this is about for the 6 port 12A.

 

Thanks peejay. I saw the ad on ebay and thought that could be quick and easy. It is nice to know it would not be easy and NOT worth the time.

 

Got me wondering, though. I wonder if the carb on the 6-port engine can flow more.

 

You could make your own too (except Manfolds)

GSL-SE Plates
12A Rotor housings and Internals.

Voila!

6 Port 12A.

 

I saw that auction, the bids were below the reserve so it did not go for $570. just wanted ya'll to know.
