Wanna build a beast
Im looking to start building a turbo engine for a TII shell.
I was looking at S4 housings with S5 rotating assembly. Either large streetport or a bridgeport is going to be the porting depending on what turbo i run. I plan on running FMIC, 3 - 4 inch exhaust, himni's manifold setup, megatech, and the rest of the supporting mods. Im also not worried about street-ability as this car will only see the street one or twice a year if that.
Here is what i was looking at for a turbo Gt40 on a streetport or a gt45/gt47 on a bridgeport.
money is also not a factor. as of next pay period i start getting $1500 bi-weekly and only have to pay $80 for insurance and money for gas in the vert. so i plan on saving all the rest for the build.
Any opinions or suggestions?

With that kind of power level, you'd be better off with at least S5 irons, if not REW. They have much more support at the dowel lands than the S4's.

Will work for horsepower
If money is no problem buy a motor already built by a pro put all the good stuff on it and have it tuned by one of the best then theres hope it might run and last.
If you have to ask it seems you may not be up to building a beast i know i wasnt so i had it done and dont regret it. I like driving more than watching it set in the garage!
Dont mean to be a dick but thats my opinion! Good luck.

im not worried about stuff sittin in the garage. i just want to build a motor and learn about building a rotary engine. Plus it is a ton more fun to me to have a motor and car i built on my own with out help from a shop(except possibly tuning). Probably will go REW setup. Turbo IS going to be a gt40.
I also meant microtech or one of the other many ways to control the fuel and stuff like that.
