With the T-78 equipped cars, and stock blocks, not to mention the GT35/40 and stock block, you would get the "butt check clench" and the squat at 15psi. But after the Pineapple engine, 10psi is the squat. (Nocab tuned his own, I tuned the T-78s)

When Nocab was running 10psi on the GT35/40s with the stock block, I could stay with him or pull, depending on gear.

When Nocab ran 10psi on the GT35/40 with the new Pineapple, he walked me (hard) from every gear.

I was running at 15psi both times...putting down an estimated 377RWHP.

 

Yes, that was 10psi on the pineapple motor. It took at least 14psi with the GT35/40 on my stock motor to get the car to squat.

The rwhp difference between this fresh pineapple large street port and my stock motor with 40k miles on it is easily 90 - 100rwhp. That is some healthy power out of port alone!

Can you tell I'm happy with the new pineapple motor?

Grrrrr.... statements like make me want to send Rob my spare core and have him rebuild it for me! But I think I'll start the long process of learning how to do my own rebuilds as I want to become a rotary guru.

 

What about the decrease in bottom end power asociated with any streetport. I had a streetport done that had a negative effect on power until 5500 rpm, and that made for a laggy motor.Over 5500 it was great but I miss the low end get up and go.

 

What is a pineapple motor? Is that just a street or extend port? or is that a bridgeport? I dont see how just a port can make 100hp difference! There is no way!

 

By the way. At my mechanics a car with a GT3540 made 488rwhp@22PSI.

 

http://www.pineappleracing.com is owned by Rob Golden and is located right here in Portland Oregon...he is a great guy, and is by most peoples opinion THE BEST ROTORY ENGINE BULDER right now.
On a side note it is almost time for my engine to be rebuilt by Rob
