S5 TII turbo on a 12a? (blowthrough)
 
Has this been done before ?
Is it even worth it? :Wconfused

BAd83 has one tons of people have done them. is it cost effective depends how you describe cost effective!

Worth what?

Not to be rude,but thats a lame question.If you search,youll see that MANY people have done this,as Yetterben has stated.
The stock TII turbo works well on a 13B,so of course its gonna work on a 12A.In fact,of all the stock car turbos,its the easiest and most appropriate turbo to mount on a 12A or other N/A engine since its shaped right and flows right for a rotary application.

As far as HP gains,thats only as good as your setup and tuning.You might gain 10hp,you might gain 100hp......or you might blow up on the first roll-on.It all depends on how well you set it up.

I dont know the power capable of a 12a turbo, it was simply a "might as well go 13b?" kind of question.. if the power gain is only like 45hp its not worth it IMO
I have no way of knowing

well there are guys running 600 hp 12a's sooooo(12a680rwhp or similar user name).........its as capable as your wallet.

you can make lots of power with a 12a turbo depending on your budget
and yes the stock 13b turbo's work great on the 12a motors.. i have a few good used turbos for sale if your interested

djessence 03-11-08 10:59 AM

aha, i was close on the user name. Yes, Robert from rotary shack was the guy.
