turbo 2 or ls2

alright so i bought an 86 gxl planning on doing a v8 swap. i really dont know much about rotarys, but im learning. and now i really am thinking about just doing a turbo 2 swap. i just find a rotary to be more interesting than just swapping with a v8. but........ i really do know what to to to to make power out of a 13b. im looking for around 350-400 rwhp can someone help me figure out what i have to do to make that kind of power?

With all the info available on this subject it would actually be easier for you to grab a cup of coffee and start hitting the Other Engine conversion section,and the single turbo Section.

TII can easily achieve those power goals no problem and you still keep the soul of the car and the exotic spirit of the rotary.

The V8 on the other hand will be snappy as well and you can go beyond the power goal more easily and I hate to say it but more reliably. Parts will be easy to come by, both used and aftermarket.

IMO go rotary, how often do you see a Dorito powered car? And how often do you see V8's?

They're both time consuming swaps.
