Hey Sosa... I have the link. It's on the 93fd site too, but I'm having trouble getting it to work well there.

We definitely do, I have already fixed a couple issues with my car... and now it spools up about 400 rpm quicker.

I've been tuning for slightly higher boost too.

Sosa's and Ben's cars will need the work done too...

I'm so happy with the numbers we made. Just think........... we were running off the waste gate. So thats are bottm line hp. You should give them the link to our charts so they can all see the smoothness of the rotary.

When we were there we talked to them about a Sat meet and its defently a can do. I would love to see more people come to.

Hey guys, going to hi-jack the thread for a local car show tomorrow

http://www.northstarrotaries.com/for...?TOPIC_ID=1721

I've never been to this one so I'm not sure on the attendance or import presence. If anybody goes and wants to hang out afterward, I live just east of here about 10 minutes and will be drinking some al-KO-haul with the wife and a friend and having a small bon fire just relaxing and enjoying the evening. Welcome to stop by if you like. Shoot me a PM for directions.

Yeah, there are a lot of rotorheads here in the Twin Cities. Why we can't get anything together that brings more than a few guys together, I have no idea. We should get some kind of a Twin Cities registery up somewhere just to see.

The Northstar Rotaries (of which I have been a member since day one) seems to be a ghost town.

Ken, I'll be up by Porkys tonight (sat) with the FB. I met you a few years ago with my buddy. I have the redish turbo FB and he has a blue V8 FC. Leaving to go to the car craft show in a hour.

Thanks, I had a ball last night. Met two people that seemed serious about purchasing my FD. Neither knew much about rotaries. It would be nice to sell to a rotary nut like yourself. What do you think your FB is worth in trade?

This is Kerry with the 3 rotor FC that's still in limbo. Now that I've got a 'vert the wife and I go cruising around the area much more often just because it's relaxing On the weekends we like to go down to Fairibault/Northfield area on 3 or the county road just on the east side of I-35 which has a lot of corners/straight aways and is a bunch of fun too. Anything to stay out of the cities area so you can actually drive, not sit in traffic. I'm only free on weekends now so let me know if you want to do a drive or whatever.

I have no idea what it's worth but I can tell you I have way too much into that car. It's always hard to put a $ amount on a project car, I have a feeling you know what I mean Here is a link to some pics of the build up along the way. http://www.datsunracing.com/z/Turbo-FB

I hear ya.. it's no fun sitting at red lights when there is so much open road to carve. Maybe someday there should be a cruise set up in the south metro?

Was up in MN this passed weekend at the Car Craft show. I believe I met LUV94RX7. Were you the one with the FD with the Efini badges? There was some other guy in a silver FD and no hood that drove up and down the street in front of Porky's but never stopped in. Also, at the show I met someone who owned a 20B FD. Was a really nice car, and was amazing to see that swap done. Also saw a FC with from what I remember a 350 SBC in it and a FB with a 350 SBC too.

Yea, was definitely a nice car. Was really surprised to see a RX-7 at Porky's, especially one with a rotary engine still in it and not a SBC.

WOW this thread did get jacked. Where the hell were all of you when we did the dyno? With this much talk about getting together, we have a much more respectable turn out next time.
