Title: N/A Rotary Vs. Turbo Rotary
Post by: Jake Lindemann on December 09, 2015, 03:35:30 PM
Alright guys, I am getting ready to drop a new engine in to my REPU I have been going back and forth for a while as to weather i will go with a turbo engine or just get another N/A bridgeported engine (either engine would come from Atkins Rotary as a full rebuild) I am personally leaning towards the N/A (for the moment) because i prefer the sound and the longer engine life, so if you guys have some input and dyno sheets that any one would be willing to share from both turbo and N/A engines (preferably bridgeported) that would be great.

That is a dilemma :)

Well, I would choose N/A bridge but it depends on car. If thats stock in good condition then N/A but if its beaten up or sleeper or so on, then maybe turbo.

I think that in these both cases, engine life isnt a problem, if you dont want massive horses. Dont have any dyno sheets to show but with N/A you will have around 230 safe horses and with turbo setup around 320. But most important questions is money, because with N/A you could run carb setup with basic dizzy and electrics but with turbo you need more electric crap like ecu...

No problem... :)

That really is difficult topic. Also it depends what kind of use you are planning for her...

High Performance Street /Road Course and maybe the occasional hill climb for fun
