Hello again... by the way my name is Emerick. Anyways i was wondering i have if you remember just bought a 88 fc GTU non turbo and i want to single turbo it. What do i need. Besides a coustom HKS turbo kit. Will my little stock GTU engine be okay? and DRive train? What about a ECU or can i jsut piggy back it or boost controller it or something sorry im kinda new to the rotary world. But im catching on fast. So far i've fixed my idol and now i need to get a new clutch and pressure plate. thanks for all your guy's help.

well use the search button, or go to the archives. and look for arron cakes posts about turboing his NA. its very detailed and very informative and im sure you can PM him and he wouldnt be too bothered. but mainly just start resaerching before you start posting alot, most of the times the question you have is already answered

 

Unless you want to worry about the whole NA Turbo compression difference, you would be better off just doing a TII swap instead of spending a shitload of money and taking the risks with a high compression engine turbo setup.

 

if that were so you would have known by now NOT to ask this damn question.

 

Oh quit your bitching and give him a break he's new. Everyone has to start somewhere.

 

Cannot we just start deleting these threads and maybe they will eventually catch on??

don't listen to that crap, high compression is more powerful, even with a turbo but you will need some tuning, retard the timing and more fuel. You probably got to know a lot of this information if you want to turbo an n/a.

 

High compression is the key, I agree. Some people only care about a ******* number, a high HP number. Personally I care about performance, higher compression has its downsides, but the pro's out of it weigh out the cons in my opinion. Higher compression means that your going to build up boost much quicker than the regular TII rotors. Im sure with the right intercooling and a standalone, you can achieve the same numbers an average TII can generate with the pro's of a high compression engine.

 

Yeah, you gotta be one crazy son of a .... to boost high comp rotors, or so people TRIED to tell me. Or just wanting more power. I think I am a little of each.

I personally like the peppy low end and the quick boost response.

 

Thats my next project, high comp, tII motor.... theres nothing better than having a high comp boosted motor, good responce, alot less lag, and definately better lowend when boost is not present.... Just have to be tuned good... nice low afr's and timing needs to be addressed also...
