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.

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.

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

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.
