alrite guys heres the question ..... other than seals and whatnot ... what is the main difference in turbo and non turbo internals for an fc 13b /// im putting a t 4 turbo on my na motor and i need to know what to ex pect .. any input would be awsome thnx

 

Well I know that the turbo has 4 ports and the nonturbo has 6, but you probably already knew that.

 

Good luck getting it to fit without a completely custom exhaust manifold (or intakes for that matter), but if you don't know basics about the engine, chances are you really shouldn't be bolting a turbo to it.

 

Turbos have a lower compression ratio, and for a good reason!!!

I'd say learn a bit more about what you're doing before you do it.

 

weok so what ur telling me guys is that the rotors and whatnot are all the same and im not guna like shatter somthing?....... and i think my engine was a turbo cuz it has the 4 port manifold ...... i thought that was odd to .....

 

Do you know how to tell the difference between the manifolds? And no, they pretty clearly said the rotors are NOT the same.

 

the 4 ports are just on the intake side, internally the rotors have different compression ratios. If you want turbos then buy yourself a turbo engine and swap it.... like i did.....

 

The rotors have a different compression ratio.

So the engine has a Turbo II manifold? Or are you getting runners confused with ports?

If you put a turbo on an NA motor without any fuel mods or any way to tune it, it will go BOOM

 

well ialready have a walbro internal fuel pump upgrade in the mai ll from a friend so i dont know all the specs ... but i was told it shoulld handle ... anbd ya know what i might be getting the runners confused i never though of that ... ******* rotary engines .. so confusing ......

 

Their are only 4 runners on the upper part, and it's hard to tell unless you've seen both engines, but chances are if it doesn't have a turbo it's a 6port, which means that a T4 turbo/manifold won't work unless the manifold is specifically designed to clear the N/A manifold (and 1Revvin7 is the only person I know of making them at the moment)

 

wouldnt the 6 port say right require premium grade fuel .. somone told me this ... i dont know how reliable it is .. but thats what i was told

 

Nope... NAs (6 port) run best on lower octane.

 

Well, I think we established that it's probably a better idea for you to research and spend more time with the car how it is rather than trying to turbo it...

 

some lessons are better learned the hard way.

 

Where are the mods? This thread should be locked already as this topic has been covered so many times it's in the FAQ...

 

Who cares, we get to inflate our post counts at the expense of n00bs, and this IS the 2nd gen section, it takes a good 3+ pages of useless postwhoring before a thread is noticed

 

Closing the thread. We've covered this many times, and it's about to go downhill fast...
