nah i'm sticking by my 13B turbo... if i get the loan i'm gonna... get completely custom exhaust manifold made to fit a greddy T88, completely custom 4" downpipe and straight pipe, 8 injector setup(2 1600 cc/min primaries, 2 1600 secondaries, 2 800's on the primary rail, and 2 800's on the secondary rail.... gonna go with 3mm apex seals, balanced rotors(probly S5 rotors for my j spec S4 motor...) hardened stationary gear, bridge port, gonna port every hole in the engine, do a fluidyne radiator upgrade, probly do some work on the water jacket, the oil injection is already disabled... gonna go with the roughly 900 dollar greddy intercooler, front mount of course, i can't think of anything else, we got it all on paper, its gonna be a big build, and 12 grand should do what i want... if need be we will go with a ford 9" rear end... btw i just got back from the shop, and the motor is still in the car, but its completely stripped down after 6 hours of work, i'm pulling the transmission and driveshaft tomorrow, and then gonna have me and 3 other guys lift that motor out, put it in my el camino's truck bed, and take it up to my friends place where we can start the rebuild... it appears the rear main seal went, i turned on the bolt on the front of the eccentric shaft, and it was like my motor was a big water pump, it pumped out all the water left in the motor.... out intake ports and the exhaust port.... i put my finger in the exhaust port, turned the motor till i could feel every apex seal, pushed on em all to make sure they still were able to spring back and forth, and checked the chrome on the rotor housing... the chrome on the front rotor housing had 2 knicks in it, so it looks like that one is gone, and the rear rotor housing was perfect... i dunno what caused the scratches on the front, it might have been like that the whole time i dunno, because all 3 apex seals on that rotor were perfectly smooth... no grooves or anything...

 

I'd make sure you take the bolt of the eccentric shaft before pulling the engine.

 

i did... the motor is out, next weekend we will pull it all apart and start the porting... won't be getting the rebuild kit until i sell my lincoln, or if i were to apply for a loan... and if i were applying for a loan i'd apply for a 12 grand loan anyways... so i dunno, but we sure will get it ported... i also saw a peripheral port he was working on, it was very impressive, and on a 12A no less
