Ideal engine from parts

Hey all... just wanted to drop a note to get some opinions.

I have an 83 with a solid engine. As well as an 85 SE.
What I had in mind was to take the end plates from the 12A and rebuild the 13B with the 12A plates. I would like to find some Repu rotors and build it as such. Then try to find a TII intake. Build a custom turbo mani and go single turbo hoping to run 10-13 lbs of boost. Not sure what I would do for engine management, possibly the wolf system.

The idea is to build a solid turbo engine from what I have and buy the 'little' parts needed.

BTW the engine would be ported. Until I can get my hands on a turbo tranny I would run the SE tranny.

 

No thoughts... Bump

 

Thats pretty much the engine that I have in my kitcar, except I have a gen 2 eccentric. Works very nicely. Matching up the T2 intake takes a little work though as the centre plate runners are at different heights. Renns has some good notes on this somewhere.

any idea where to fine that info renns has

 

If you'e building a custom turbo manifold, why not go the whole hog and make a custom inlet as well?

 

nice

 

Be careful mixing 12A and 13B engine plates and rotor housings. The 12A rotor housings have a groove in them for the water seals. The '86+ 13B center and end plates have the grooves for the water seals. If you use a 12A rotor housing and a '86+ 13B plate, you will have 2 water seal grooves together. You can't put a seal in both grooves cause they would smoosh together and it won't seal. Neither would it seal right if you put 1 seal in a groove and left the other groove empty.

 

go to other rotary and check out gambone , he has already done it
