9:7:1 rotors run n/a with fd block
Im wondering what modifications would need be needed to run an fd block as n/a using 9:7:1 rotors. I am only asking about what modifications would need to be made to the shortblock itself (housings, etc.) to get this to work, not about computer, injectors, etc.

The counterweights have to be balanced for the rotors - either find front and rear counterweights that match the rotors or have the assembly balanced.
Also, the FD's intake setup is optimized for a turbo, and it's really not the best for non-turbo use. Not to mention you'll have a hard time making any appreciable power, even with high compression rotors. 160 to the ground would be good, 170-180 would be phenomenal. Go see what 2nd gen NA guys have done trying to make power.
Any reason you're asking this?

I like the idea of boosting it. With proper tuning and some goodies...you can make good power with not so much boost. And have it come on like a light switch.

hmm...what would dubulup do?
very efficient IC
fail safe tuned WI (maybe a little meth)
Fuel cooler
excellent IAT and Coolant temp, timing/fuel correction maps
I'd say 400rwhp around 12psi on a nice single in the sweet spot. finding the right turbine housing to compressor housing might take someone more educated than me...

fart on a friends head!!!
a guy out here in pigeon forge, tn made some rather impressive power using na rotors in his 3rd gen. hes running a gt35r and of course a good bit of race gas. i dont know what kind of power he put down as we didnt do any dyno pulls for the BDC tuning event here in mid ten this past december. everyone said it was a relative beast.
and about the balancing. . . you should only have to use the corresponding counterweight from an auto FC in conjunction with a lightweight aftermarket flywheel.

The weights are the same Dale. You must have the S5 NA rotors confused with the S4 NA rotors. S5 NA 9.7 rotors weight the same as Fd and 20b rotors. teamafx, just make sure your rotors are within two letter weights of each other. I got lucky and found 3 "C" weight 9.7 rotors to put in my 20b.

No need to worry about my comment. I was correct. I don't try to post a whole bunch of BS on the forum if I can help it.

Personally, I wouldn't mix and match counterweights - I'm just not comfortable with that. It would probably work, but I'd want to have a known matched set.
Definitely wouldn't want a new expensive motor shaking itself apart .

any 13b rotor fits into any 13b engine...with the proper counterbalance, and in the case of the renesis rotors, you have to do a bit of milling to the apex seal slots (so I have been told, as I have not used any yet). The expense would not be worth the extra ~3hp that the 0.3:1 CR increase would likely net on an NA application. The power gain in the renesis is due to port layout, intake manifold design, and ecu programming.

The only real advantage to the renesis rotors is they are cheaper to purchase new and their lighter weight for higher revs. However by the time you mill the apex seal grooves to fit regular 2mm apex seals, you would have spent about the same amount of money as compared to purchasing new 9:7 rotors that need no modification. Renesis apex seals aren't designed to travel over the PP exhaust of the older engines as one person who experimented already found out. The seals warped.
