sorry, couldn’t think of a better title. Anyways, my sons and I are embarking on a project and building a 91 coupe. We have a zero mile since rebuild (but it’s been sitting) engine with paperwork saying it was half bridgeported. We plan on using a BNR turbo most likely, a FMIC, a stand alone EMS, better fuel pump and whatever else we come up with. The problem we are having is coming up with a general understanding of what works best with what. For instance, if we choose a BNR stage 4, we have no clue what injectors we would need. For EMS we are thinking Apexi power FC just because it’s mentioned a lot but have no clue if that’s the smartest route. I’ve been searching and reading for a week, and maybe I’m just too old, but I can’t seem to make sense of the basic needs. I’m wanting 400hp as a dream, but would probably be happy with anything over 300 with the more the better obviously. Reliability would be nice but this will not be a daily. Not my first rotary, but my first rotary in a long time and a last ditch effort to have one last major project with my boys before they move on in life. I guess my question is big, and kind of loaded, but I’m just looking for some general guidance or to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No clue who will tune the car yet, and to be perfectly honest, I’m not even fully understanding the difference between street, half, and full bridgeporting. I’m not stuck on a BRM turbo and was just throwing things out that I’ve read and they looked budget minded. I haven’t set a “budget” for this car, but it is a weekend toy and I have annoying things like a mortgage and these grown *** boys that insist on eating every single day.

Well, finding a tuner - and making sure it's someone that knows what they are doing - will be essential in your quest.
As far as the porting is concerned, I used to have a sticky'd thread in here, but I guess it got taken down, so I will find it and link it for you. Essentially though, if you have an idea what a bridgeport actually is, then full is when you apply it to all 4 ports, and half is when you apply it to just 2 (usually the secondaries) while leaving the other 2 streetported.

Well, they have their place depending on what you're trying to do, and I certainly have nothing against them. I just think a bridge might need more turbo than that. Those Stage 4 BNRs are roughly the size of a 60-1, right?

Be careful ... this is a very slippery slope. A budget will give a solid shape in which to fit the pieces. Without that shape, things are likely to spiral out of control relatively fast. I learned that lesson, and because I'm so competitive and geared toward perfection, I oftentimes will opt to re-learn the lesson over and over again just so no one can claim to be dumber than me. Seriously though, make a budget. I know you may not have a solid handle on what things will cost, but make one anyway. Look at the parts lists for as many similar setups as you can (particularly the ones that keep their engines together) and then price those parts. Research the parts as well - maybe when you're able to start posting regularly, you can start a build thread and flesh out ideas and costs that way.

All sound like good plans. I’ll start researching tuners but if anyone can recommend one in the northeast Ohio area I’d appreciate it. Is it too soon to start a build thread? I’ve purchased two cars to build one and things are moving right along.

I’m all for anti drama and will check them out. Thank you sir.

Thanks for the info.

I emailed him early this morning but no reply yet. Hopefully he is just busy. The boys are driving me nuts to buy quickjack for the garage but 1500 is a lot for a jack system in my opinion. My biggest concern right now is the stand alone. I’d like to get that in the works first because I would think even without a FMIC or big turbo, I could at least get the car to start once the engine is in.
