would a 12a be good for this

a13btrx7@hotmail.com

tell u the truth man that car is pretty heavy i dont think i would want to put a 12a in that . rotary engines dont have alot of torque well not as much as a piston .

Keegan

its weight is 2099 lbs and i was thinking of just putting a small block chevy since i already have one in my gtus were just going to use it for just autocross no wiring or nothin

why not build a 2.2 turbo motor, get a shelby motor and swap it in, the stock internals can take in excess of 250hp,
dont be silly
12a would suck that daytonas *****, you would regret putting all that custom work into it,

Since it is FWD the rotary may be a bit of a challenge.
I would suggest you consider a Neon DOHC hybrid 2.5 with an A413 automatic.
500 whp should be attainable and with the fire damaged weight removed may provide a satisfying ride.

The fire was unsuccessful. It's time to try the cliff.

Dang, I would send it to the crusher.

But if not I would do a 318 swap on it, change it to RWD. Always wanted one RWD.

I was waiting for such a response.

Keegan

just what we will do 318 sounds good

throw it in the garbage, I don't know why you would even want to do all that work to a fwd car, and a daytona at that.

The Daytona is a bad *** car, and the 2.2 owns all.

My first Cool car was an 86 Daytona Black with black interior. Mantis here on the forum has one.

Went to the mopar drags a few years ago, a guy was running a 440 RWD daytona, Very cool.

I like the styling of the Daytona/Starion.
It far surpasses the Mustang, FC, Probe, or Eclipse on sexy good looks.

As I will have to agree with Hades on this...they're bad ***.

I have the detuned 2.2-litre 4-cyl 8v SOHC Turbo/Int in that Maserati I picked up. Want to see ***** for something so small? I think it only has 160 horses, but damn it's quick. Mine also has the 3 speed auto in it.

Now I think what everyone else is saying with the 2.2 is maybe the 2.2-litre 4-cyl 16v DOHC Turbo/Int. - 200hp - 220 lb/ft - 5-speed Getrag. That one I hear is quite the rocket.

The starion is an extremely nice rwd mitsubishi. Daytona turbos are alright but that one looks cooked. Aparently everyone here had a daytona turbo so I'll share my expierience with my daytona. The wastegate was frozen shut so the boost would shoot up to the top of the gauge (15psi I think) and it would pull like a bitch up to 65. Then it would get shitty because of the auto tranny. The car was used as a tight woods trail car so I have no regrets owning it, it was a really fast car on the trails.

I actually got to ride in one today (that's what people with broken legs do when they wanna buy a standard )

Relatively quick, not anything jaw dropping. I still like it better than the other cars of that styling.

I was under the impression that, since this is basically a rebadged Starion, they were RWD or AWD. WTF is this thing FWD for?

That was the part that cancelled the deal. I need a RWD car for what I'm doing
