for n/a, its not enough

 

Thanks man! I'll keep that in mind. I'll have to do a search if he sells his templates or not since Juni at JRX Rotary is building my engine.

I'm still not 100% sure if I want to go the 13B bridge turbo route like I originally planned or my new idea of a 12A street-port (much much cheaper, easier in a number of ways, usable power without breaking rear ends, way more vintage for the period correct theme). Then if I really want more power I could just turbo the 12A which would still be unique since you just don't see them very often.

When I heard your setup it definitely got me thinking that I'd be pretty satisfied with a good 12A while I'm busy restoring all the little details on the car. Lord knows there's a ton of little details that take forever to get the car the way I want it.

 

Yeah, but I was just wanting to get the damn car mobile (coolant seals are wasted) and maybe boost the little sucker later on after paint, trim, gauges, interior, suspension, is sorted out, etc.

Yeah, in NA form the 12A bridge engine make SOOOOOOO much more power than the 12A streetports it's no comparison. I was thinking the streetport for now so I could have some kind of bottom end power. I can't get my mind off boost though so even if it doesn't happen now it can still be in the works. Plus with a boosted 12A it can keep things pretty modular.

 

Ok, I got the new/old axle in and I played with some tunning. Man this bridge is pulling hard now. Time for another trip to the track.

 

 

Don't be jelous.

So when are you going to give me your old worn out 13b so I can rebuild it so you don't have an excuse not to go to the track?

I have the Judge Ito templates...

 

HAHAHA!!! Always funny to see Wacky get beat down since he's always dishing it out.

You have the templates. HELLS YEAH!!! I might be getting hold of you soon so thanks for the heads up! I swear this is the best section of the forum by far.

 

its ok...I will move out of the way for the noobs

 

Hey, havent' you heard? I moved up to intermediate. No more noob.

 

ultimatenoob

 

Well, the engine is running really well now and I still think I can get more out of it by tunning. Need to buy an a/f and egt meter and hit the dyno too. Going to take it back to the track and see how it runs now. Here's a vid I took down an industrial street. Rolling first gear, second and third. As you can see I have some traction issues, especially first and second gear.

Very nice J.

Im not a fan of AF gauge since I run large idle jets but EGT is a must. Buy it from aircraft spruce or something in Corona Municipal Airport. They have a dual gauge if you have a dual exhaust. If not, LMK and I have new single EGT (new in box).

 

DAMMM!!!! it sounds like it was pulling hard good job.

 

WOW...i love it sounds really ******* bad ***

 

Keep working on this

 

The EGT Meter must have a fast update cycle time. The units I have seen from Aircraft Spruce are typically mechanical, and the update cycle time is too slow. So by the time your gauge is updated the motor is blown. The Computech EGT Meter is a Rotary Engine builders best friend because the update cycle time is 6-7 milliseconds. It is actually taking the hot exhaust gas temperature, and displaying the information in a digital format. The really nice part about the Computech single or dual probe unit is they have a memory recall button which will display the hottest point your EGT reached during a dyno pull or tuning session. The Computech units I recommend are not cheap, but they do a really good job of keeping the tuner informed.

J,

If your interested I have several different wiring diagrams for MSD's, but I can send you something to ignite all 4 plugs with 1 MSD 6AL box. This is the cheap way of wiring up an MSD 6AL, but it works.

How high are you revving the motor with the new jetting combination?

Albert

 

Im a cheap *** but havent blown a motor yet

 

9000rpm for now, but it will pull to 10,000. I don't want to push it too much until I know where my egt's are.

 

Nice job Jay, that motor really pulls.

 

so what are plans next with the duce duce

 

Thanks everyone.

Teddy, next up is a ford 9" and turbo II trans and then NOS! Oh and I'm planning on painting it this summer.

 

its jetted rich so you should be fine. what a *****!!!

 

its jetted rich so you should be fine. ur a *****!!!

 

At least I take my car to the track.. panocha.

 

nice job on that motor. sounds great!
