i have a garrett turbo and turbo mani for a 86 ford turbo coupe. do you think the turbo could be used on a streetport gsl-se engine

 

Yes...............and by yes I mean no......................very no

 

I have the same turbo. The hotside is about half the size of a s4 turbo hot side. It would spool quick but choke things off. It would be okay on a stockport 12a and that's about it.

 

Not even on a stockport 12A. You guys fail to realise how much volume these rotaries push. A stock turbocharger from a Turbo II RX-7 is the bare minimum you want to start with. Just plain forget about piston turbochargers all together

 

Do your homework, the 12at had a t3 turbo and output was 165hp stock. The stock 12at exhaust manifold has a t3 flange.

 

And that's all fine and dandy but it was also fuel injected, not carbureted. I honestly wouldn't use a 12A Turbo turbocharger. Oh and it was built by Hitachi, same guys that build the HT-18 and HT-12's for the FC and FD respectively

 

On a 12A blowthrough, the S-4 turbo works very damn well. It will also be a good start for future upgrades, both with the engine and turbo.

 

Echoing what the other guys have said........yea,pretty much forget any piston engine's factory turbo, except maybe from a Grand National or a MkIII Supra.

The TII turbo is BY FAR the easiest unit to bolt up to any rotary.Its the right size and the manifold is way,way easier to adapt to your engine than anything else you might find in a wrecking yard.

 

hehehe Holset70 DO IT!!!!

 

:sniker:

Yea,200lb ft of torque at 1500rpms.......and 30HP at 7000rpms!

Go pull some stumps!

 

lol true true i have one sitting here from my old dodge

 

Yeah the s4 would be a great start. But the young 19 year old poster is asking if the t3 he has would work. Sure it "would work" and would improve power, and is a start. If you can get a jspec 12at exhaust manifold (Robert @ rotary shack) cheap than it's a good start. If not, likely cheaper to just oval the holes on a t4 manifold and use the stock t4 turbo. Next issue, carb, then fuel supply, then ignition. It isn't as simple as bolting on a turbo.

 

Bolting on a turbo is the simple part.........getting it to run.........that's where most guys give up and sell there parts before they even get it finished. I need to start looking a little closer at user profiles before I assume they know what all this involves.

 

"exactly"

 

Will this fit in my 79

 

Yes, with only the slightest of modifications to the hood

 

Sure, while we're at it... lets add some 2000mm rotors and a nice 200B Rotary engine.

 

Yes, but you have to remove the passenger compartment.

 

that is awesome!!!!
