Hi there guys/gals,
im glen from Australia and new member here.
I recently just brought a complete running 13b series 4 non turbo 6 port engine for $800 aus!
came with 3 month warranty.

now im finding out that this series 4 13b 1988 non turbo engine is not very good to build with !?

some rotary shops here in oz are saying im waisting my time with this engine ?

why is is this ?
im hoping this statement could be wrong!

my plan was to add a 48 mm ida weber,a good flow exhaust,bridgeport it and lighten,balance and blue print it!

is there anything that can be done to modify and make this engine into some thing good?

do any of you guys have on here good experience and results with this engine please ?
what sort of power can be made out of this engine please ?

I want to keep this engine non turbo!

would luv to here your thoughts on this pls!
kind regards
glen

 

also I have heard some people say that you can run two stroke pre mix oil with your fuel to help lubricate and protect engine!
has any one heard this or practice this theory before pls ?
thanks
glen

 

the 2 stroke oil practice has been done, for about.. 50 years. lol


back when i was a kid, i always wondered why my old bosses RX4 racecar smelled like a dirt bike, scratched my head when he said he ran AMSOIL 2 stroke in it.

 

hi ben,thanks for the reply and info!,i just sent you a p.m
cheers

wow over 200 views and only 1 reply!!!! :O

 

getting power from a non turbo has never been an easy task, the peripheral port i mentioned is going to be the easiest way to make any moderately major improvement to the power.

 

thanks ben for your info mate,i appreciate your time!
at least you have the courteous to reply to my post and give me info I need unlike others on here that don't seem to have much Idea or clue to my questions!!!!!!
for street use,will a peripheral port if built rite and treated and looked after will last long time ?
cheers
glen

 

a peripheral port is about as street friendly as a bridged engine is except a peripheral port is the ultimate for allowing the engine to breathe for more power.

 

ok cool thanks mate for that info!
