:eek: :eek: :eek:
Oh that is one sad engine bay.:eek
now if it was PP\'d that would be a different matter
Now thats better.
I like it. Wonder what power it puts out.
Would look better with twin or quad throttle bodies though + Microtech + loads of injectors and big fuel rail.
Did Mazda actually produce a non turbo FD? or did this guy just decide to bin the turbos?

or 4 rotors?

:Giggle
OMG!
:2eek :god
Call me greedy, but I will have 4!!!! That is a seriously sweet engine bay.
What power, 1/4 mile times etc does that 4 x , do.
Yeah, more rotors, more, more, more
I just love the look of N/A engine bays.
At least it wont have many problems running. :D

They look lovely to work on! Sure a triple rotor NA would have decent power?

I\'m guessing here but 4 rotor peripheral port = 500+ hp easy (based on a 2 rotor PP producing at least 250-300hp)
Add on Microtech/Motec, decent throttle bodies, decent exhaust, decent manifold, fuelling, etc cant see why 600-700hp shouldn\'t be possible, just look at the 787b!
Imagine 8 second 1/4 mile would be a reasonable target to aim for in a lightweight drag car setup. There are some good vids of a 4 rotor N/A PP car on Streetfire.net

Hey that give\'s me an idea - with all that room surely you could squeeze in a turbo........hell why not two! :Thumbsup! (I could have worked for Mazda! :D)
Sad if its not ported - all of 150Bhp (ish) and no torque to speak of! They better have made the rest out of fart! :Giggle
Go away all you hairdryer powered car people...........its the best thing to happen to an FD........like Felix wanted it !!!!! Plain and simple :Typing

Hehe cracked me up that did:Laugh
Though It would be nice to have two FD\'s, one turbo and the non turbo as the daily driver (surely a little more reliable?). Wonder how much insurance is on the non turbo conversion, been considering getting rid of the Polo :Giggle

Knowing insurance companies it will probably be higher as its modified! They tend to have the common sense of a lemming
I have always wondered what it would be like as N/A. I just love the punch of power and the turbo noises that you get when it has those "asthma pumps" ;) I would settle for a 20b N/A though - just 360 Bhp will do fine :D I do love the unclutterd bay.

Now that sounds like a ood idea :D
But the fuel costs would still be high and you might as well get an Rx8 if you could afford one of course, or a Mk1 :D

I can\'t remember power but it\'s in the 10 sec bracket on the 1/4
Perfect emptiness - just add NOS !:spank :spank :Thumbs-up
why do people think tubby\'s are unreliable - nout wrong with them - the one in my T2 is still working despite beginning to leak oil, and that\'s been spinning for 16 years on and off ! I\'d say that was fairly reliable for something that rotates at several thoushand RPM !!
Actually with all that room up front he could squeeze a blower in there !
well done!! and it\'s bootfully !!,
Move the battery somewhere (e.g in the back etc..)
which rotors are you using?
kevin, where did you get that pic from ? its just that when i went to look at my car in the import place there were 2, mine and a silver rx with the reamemeia bumper and no turbos .....i would have bought it had it not been for the fact it was unbelieveably slow:(
Hi chris,
I got that picture from garage-r in Japan. It\'s an old picture on the site but I doubt it\'ll be the same one as the outside is 99 spec\'d.
ah well.
Why do that though !!! it was unreal the difference between that non turbo\'d one and mine !
