Hopefully someone will answer this question. Is a peripheral ported 13B N/A drivable on the streets?

I bought one a month ago its not in my car but soon
I am going to drive mine everday
they are streetable dont listen to people who say otherwise Because i am sure alot of them havent drivin one

Rob at pineapple drives his all the time

 

They are very streetable. It just depends on how they were tuned. There are plenty of stock engines that aren't streetable because of bad tuning.

I plan to get a peripheral housing and Weber 48mm. But I need to get this car to be a daily driver. Have you guys heard of peripheral engines idling at 2000+ rpm?

I've owned and dalily drove a couple of them. If Rob is building your motor, chances are you're going to be using a 51mm webber. And, yeah they usually idle around 2k. CJ

 

WHAT an idle too!

 

does anyone have a vid or sound clip of a pp motor?


and what kind of mpg do you get out of those things?

 

I heard that mileage is just abolutely horrible on those things.

I was also wondering if anyone had a video clip of that car running and/or a dyno chart that they could put up on the forum. I heard a lot of guys claiming they get 240rwhp with PP, but never saw a solid proof of it being done.

I have solid proof, but no scanner. For overall driving, i got somewhere around 16-19mpg out of the 13Bs and a 24mpg out of the 12a on a road trip.

The exaust is going to be very important to the sound/volume of the car. And it will also be a determinng factor if you're going to try kill yourself in the first week or two. They can be semi-quite, with the right exaust, or plain old defining with the wrong one. CJ
