Hello!

I'm new around here, but I've been reading a lot of content from this forum in the past few weeks, but the more I read the more confused I am on what to do.

I've got a '86 FC N/A with a "new" 40k miles GTU engine and an extra 70k miles engine that came originally in the car and was replaced because it was burning too much oil and fuel (stated by the previous owner).
As parts go I've got an aftermaket exhaust line for the car. An intake manifold with adapters for ITB. Turbo II calipers. I have an extra Audi/VW 1.8t Turbo that was meant to go into my other car ('86 BMW E30) but I'm open to sugestions on it.
Also, I bought a N/A because a turbo where I live costs 20k more than what I paid for it

For the original engine I was thinking at:
Keep it as a parts engine;
Rebuilding it stock or with street porting as a replacement;
Upgrading it as a N/A with street porting, ITBs, standalone, etc;
Finding some rotors and all to turbo it.

For the GTU engine that the car now has:
Keep it stock until it breaks, swap the other engine in and do work on this one;
Upgrade with ITBs and probably a standalone with time;

Things I'm very inclined to do meanwhile are:
Put the mechanical OMP running with the adapter feeded from a 2-stroke motorcycle oil reservoir (with level sensor)
See if I can apply the turbo II calipers on the car (Brakes and Suspension are a priority for me)
Re-do the suspension (I've not decided if with reputable shocks and springs or a full coilover install yet) and bushings
Take the flywheel to get lightened
Standalone when I can find a good deal.

I'm mainly using it for normal weekend driving but I will take it at least 6-8 times per year (together with my other car, to use both) to a track day. Also the OMP feed is too eliminate the use of engine oil (so I can use semi ou full synthetic oil) and for safety because, since I have to take long business trips, my wife could grab the car and forget to premix it.

Although I've work as a car mechanic for some years and now I work as an engineer, but not in the automotive industry, rotary engines are very uncommon and there's almost noone that works with this engines around me, so I'm quite new to this scene.

Thank you all.

 

I'd like to see what everyone comes up with as well. Make sure you know what you're getting into before you jump in too deep. I haven't finished my rebuild yet, but i'm planning on headlight ftp and turn signal upgrades as well as a spoiler, but that's a taste thing. Wheels are always an easy way to get a big change.
