That's what I was thinking, just want like 200~ for now. Till I can build it later.

 

hahaha true.
wish i would've known $3,500 ago.

 

this all souunds great guys seriously. Im glad I started this thread. I didnt want to give up on the brotary just yet. I know that if you build it right its great. Ive heard good things about the two brands of seals so far. Keep the info comming yo.

 

Ive heard that boosting the 6port is a lot of work but when its done its a hulking beast. Look up project tina. Aaron cakes 6 port turbo project. Hes a mad man though.

 

Let us know how it turns out. Ive seen vids of rotaries running 7sec at over 30psi. Thats gotta be more than 500hp.

 

Yeah I've read his build. But I need reliability over everything.

 

 

Well ive said the same thing and look at what everyone else is recomending. his engine s still going and he did his a long time ago. Idk what seals he is using and he has closse to 400hp on it. Idk if he still drives it hard. i know he used to Gymkana with it and some drags. Talk to him. it wouldnt hurt. the 13bt swap is a hell of an undertaking it self. Not only does the engine go in but the transmission the diff the brakes driveshaft and idk what else. Although mazdaspeed makes a turbo to na driveshaft. that may be worth your while if you go that route. where do plan on getting the 13bt from? A friend or jdm sellers?

 

Let's talk about rotor housings for a sec. Consider this. My car has a little over 30k miles on it. The rear rotor cracked one apex seal because on the poor man comp test I did I got two 30s and a 90. The front bounded from 85-90. I don't think I completely blew up that rear seal since it's still gives off some sort if reading.

Originaly I was planning on getting new rotor housings. Perhaps it's the consumer in me speaking but new sounds better than used to me. It suggest durability to me. How do you guys think my current rotor housings are though? I know there are some variables involved but what's your guys opinion on this?

 

Well my motor has like 60k+ so I'm assuming it's still in damn good shape. If I swapped it would be Japan2la or a friend out in Philly. Idk how much the n/a tranny would hold up under boost.

 

Well that all depends on how you have treated it. You need the t2 tranny if you are going to swap. Idk how much boost na trans can take.

 

That's why I thought I to do just a 13Bt swap. Engine, Trans, and ECU. And I want to do and S4 TII diff swap before all that, then have a full TII pretty much.

 

Word. What you guys think about my rotor housing comment?

 

My brother just came back from cali with a turbo 2. All black interior and nothing missing from the engine. It doesnt run tho.



$1100

 

I want black interior!

 

God damn it, still a score! I can't wait to finish school and move west. Tired of the cold, snow, salt and not driving my car.

 

If you can afford it, I don't see why you wouldn't go new. Less to worry about imo.

 

Ok. im gonna test nuts and go with the RA. What apex springs are you all using though?

 

factory springs are still the best avail. RA sells you the factory springs as there "Race" upgrade. the springs they make are not good enough for the high heat turbo applications.

 

Ok. Good to know. thanks!
