Smile Confuse to build a 13b to turbo with 500hp or to swap to a 13bt and build it to 500 h

I'm Confuse, i want get a s5 13bt and build to 500hp, but would i have to do a whole bunch of stuff to the car. or should i build my current engine into a turbo in order to push 500hp. Does anyone has link or guide on how to do this in both ways. I have a '91 gxl.

not trying to be a tool, but if you're asking this, then you probably need to do some research first. because 500HP will REQUIRE "doing a whole bunch of stuff" to your car. it will be a long, complicated and EXPENSIVE endeavor if you use a 13B-T, and it will be more than that if you use your 13B-E ...

365 versus 500 are two very different things.

How much are you willing to spend???

yeah - you know I never thought about it like that....thats an excellent point.
basically if you're trying to make up your mind whether or not to get 500hp out of a turbo rotary or an N/A rotary its easier to do it with a turbo rotary....

...but in your case you might want to try doing it to a turbo rotary with headers....and pistons....and that crazy wild horsepower stuff just case I may go i bit too much

Ted is dead on, you would be very suprised at how a bit of boost can totaly change the way your car feels, i went from 6psi to 12psi a few days ago and the change in power is scary. What was a peppy and mildly fast car turned into a truly fun car that tries to loss traction as much as it can

What are you'll talk, about.
If it would not be because i totally my EP3 last month, i will habve save money to make her a super-turbo-charger K20R. But since i'm not doing it. The money i could had spent on the k20r Will be save for the rotary whether i do 13bt o 13b N/A turbo. The whole story about the 365 is the i want some sick power and torque. but do not want to over doing the 500 line is like a limiter. i want to drift so i think that a well balance engine with 365 will doing, if i was going for dragging it will have to be 500, but i'm not.

If your really serious about make a fast car you need to get a tII and shot for mmmmmm lets say 250hp, then after you've set the foundation for a fast car you can work you way up to 300hp, 340hp, ?365?, ..............Several years later and a few motors.......500hp. Be prepared to spend a lot of money after breaching the 300hp mark.

So you still haven't answered the questions about how much are you willing to spend?

BTW, how old are you?

Because its MaD tYtE yO... why else
on a more serious note it does bring up the value of the car, and as much as i hate to see 10th AE's go anything that makes mine more rare is good in my book.

I doubt it, considering the way it seems most FC's I see nowadays are just crap some idiot kid picked up and tried to drift, usually with bad results that have been patched together, and because of such I would no longer pay near what I used to for an FC, they're giving it a name like a civic, where you just KNOW it has been abused.

What is you will speak, roughly. If he would not be because I globally EP3 that me the passed month, habve apart from the money her I will make e'xohos-swirl-charger K20R. But since him I do not make. The money where I could had xodebej k20r it will be apart from the perjstrofjko' if I do 13bt 13b APROSDJORJSTO turbo. Entire the history for the 365 is i wants certain sicks force and propensity but does not want beyond it makes line 500 it is as perjorjsti'. I want to drift thus I think that a machine of balance of shafts with 365 making, if I went for drawing should be 500, but is not.
I ran this through babelfish. From greek to english, and came up with this. . Honestly, it makes as much sense as the original post..

take a look at the up turn on 240sx and corolla prices true it has leveled out a bit but the new fast and the ferious movie should boost them up some.

Holy **** man! Invest in English classes before you invest in your car!

Go 13bt, it will be easier and less costly. It will still cost a bundle for those HP numbers though.
