is having a p-ported turbo engine as damaging to your seals as say... a bridgeported engine? i want to keep things somewhat streetable and more reliable then a bridgeport, wich i know eats up the seals over time becuase of the design...

 

P-port's don't last even as long as a bridgeport..I think I remember someone saying they average less then 30,000 miles.

 

not tryin to flame you or nething but i mean...we're talking about rotaries here so they're already not exactly the most reliable thing around. and from what ive read the words bridgeport/p-port never go hand in hand with streetable. just my .02 tho. you're better off with a good street port and nice size turbo.

 

half bridges are very streetable.

edit: I think you need to do some searches on what is involved in both. I don't think you would even consider a pport if you knew how much it costs to run that! Do a few thousand searches and if you have any questions after that then start posting threads.

 

Just go with a large streetport and you'll be fine.

 

LMFAO, yeah, that is the damn truth.

Are you running a half bridge? I am seriously thinking about a half bridge port on a GT35R. I'm thinking that would be truly hoss but I haven't had a chance to talk to anyone running half bridges. I'm kinda curious how far up the tach my powerband is going to move. Do you have any light to shine on this?

 

I hear that PPs aren't as heinous to your seals as BPs are. IIRC, BPs are more prone to chunking side seals and corner seals....but PPs are a little nasty to your apex seals...

But...I'm still a rotard noob so I could be wrong...

 

not running a half bridge yet but may do it since I have to tear down my engine anyways. there are quite a few people running the half bridges and love them for the extra power and also consider them to be very steetable. I'm not exactly sure how much more it would be reving but I'm sure a couple to a few more thousand would be the number but I'm not for sure as i've never ran a half bridge. Something to search i guess

 

I suppose a half bridge would be streetable...a hell of a lot more than a full bridge, lol.

I think the only issue you would possibly deal with is the slightly lumpier idle. From what I know, you're kinda better off going with an obscenely large streetport and ported intake manifolds....as far as streetablility is concerned....

 

prep port is as bad to the apex sela as that stupid perp exhaust port that mazda put on - assuming it is done right

asumming th ebridge isnt too big and done right, it shouldnt hinder reliability...

 

Just think about teh launch.
