ok guys i just got a 89 tII with a rebuilt 91 TII motor in it its nice just needs a few minor parts to get running. but i have been asking around and everyone says the rem motors is the best to go with and do a swap with that. then i was also looking and most people get rifd of all of their vacum lines and crap i was wonderin how u do that. im not used to rotorary i know a little nad learn real fast but i have been about pistons a long time so i was hoping someone could school me up. i was looking on the banzai website on how to do the swap and it doesnt look to hard but i am looking for like a 500-600 whp daily drive. i already got a t35, 40mm waste gate, and turbo xs rfl type h for it i hear stand alone then i hear apexi fc , i was thinkin haltech is the way to go im going haltech in my msp when i get back from iraq. but anyways can someone school me up on the ways of the rotary. how do i get rid of that rats nest of vacum line, how hard is it to rebuilt all that crap

 

congrats

Search for rats nest....there will be a ton of them

Learn how to spell rotary

thers no way anyone can "school you up" on rotarys......u learn as you drive. we can give you the basics

Very hard to do
yes

yes

 

a T35 turbo will be useless
even a GT35 will not make your goal.

also that 40mm wastegate is too small, 2 40's or a single 50-60 will be much safer at that power level.

a GT42 will work well, A-spec sells a GT42 turbo kit. see vendors at to top of the main page.

 

Nice keep up the rotarys spirit. I'm currently rebuilding mine

 

Best bet=

- Read the faq. There's way more info in there than you need and will save you some time and money in the long run.

- Research as much as you can. 500-600 is achievable, but not easy at all. Look for threads from J-rat and try to find his buildup. He's running 10's in a near 500hp 10th AE. There's also a thread in the "timeslips and dyno numbers" section at this top of this section and you might be able to find someone to better help you there.

- Removing the "rats nest" is a pain in the ***. There is a write up on http://www.rotaryresurrection.com under the 2nd gen tech section if you want to know how to do it. I don't really recommend it. I'm not saying you can't do it, but i'd only put the time in if I needed that last edge to be competitive. I'd look more into porting the throttle body.

Good luck and I wish you a safe return from Iraq, my friend.

 

forget the emissions removal did that been there...pain in the *** to get it to run and idle close to with emmissions still on. no gain from it but cleans up bay some..500-600whp on stock ports will be ridiculous especially as a daily. best way to go about it finacially and common sense to try to get the numbers as a daily is to yank the motor in it sell that and get a 20b 3 rotor engine.
