Naturally Aspirated Performance ForumDiscussion of naturally-aspirated rotary performance. No Power Adders, only pure rotary power!
From the "12A" to the "RENESIS" and beyond.
Cheap plan is-
TII front/rear side housings, 4 port Holley 4150 style intake manifold, simple 4150 throttle body w/ no injector bungs, Bosch EV14 2,000cc injectors/aftermarket rail in primary location for fuel and Megasquirt for ECU, headers, 1 piece carbon apex seals, clearance rotor sides.
If you do a big j-bridge (basically a p-port that uses the stock runners in the side housings) you can run a zero pressure cooling system with 100% PG coolant (like Sierra Pet Safe) to you don't spring a leak into the intake ports as easily.
If you do a big j-bridge you might get more low end power/response without much sacrifice up top if you fill in the stock port area and just keep the bridge/portion cut into rotor housing.
Another nice option is instead of a bridge do a semi-peripheral port with the same 4150 style semi-p-port intake manifolds. This simplifies sealing the cooling system between the side housings and rotor housings and allows stock 2 or 3 piece apex seals.
