NA 2 rotor - damn addictive

[oldone]

Cool setup Emotion you got there............its not noisy... :cool :cheers

[oldone]

Now this is induction noise at its best........street port 13B.....

emotions,  you are lucky,  you have a left hand drive, otherwise the stock turbo II turbo wont fit without lots of mods.....   car looks good.  

Era, your red one looks and sounds loverly,  i recognise that industrial estate,  what sort of power do you get out of yours?

Cmon  Ant, spill the beans,  what you  got in mind???

[oldone]

All being equal,that particular lil motor puts out 184 on the wheels...that particular day at REWORX we had intake manifold leak probs,she was leaning out badly (rear exhaust glowing cherry)....only made 168 on the wheels.Had to redo intake manifold and fuel system at home ..:mad:

I have decided to sell my 1st gen (im just buying another one with a turbo )
NA is cool but rather than spend spend spend on the car I have I got offered another with about 200bhp as it is Should be fun.

[antnicuk]

is it a 12a turbo or 13b?   you will have put up some pics when you get it

[A7NTY]

Im keeping it secret. Will post pics when I get it.

[Dominic]

:cheers

[A7NTY]

I thought all that was needed to fit the TII engine in a RHD chassis was a special manifold? I saw those on several australian sites, don\'t remember where right now. It simply moves the turbo forward a bit, so it clears the steering box etc. All that\'d be needed above that would be the hoses running to the IC (which would be replaced by a front mount anyway ), as those would be misaligned. But that seems a small problem.
Or am I forgetting something here???

That\'s the difference between the left and right hand chassis...  There\'s also the sump, front plate mod, and if you\'re going with the T2 gearbox, the gearbox mounting.  I\'ve been told that by rotating the manifold 180 degrees, and resizing two of the holes, it can be mounted without a new manifold...

[rotary emotions]

Sump? You use a GSL-SE sump, can\'t be different LHD or RHD, can it?
Front plate must not be modified: you use a 12A (or old style 13B if you can get one) front cover, bolts on no problem. The gearbox is a problem: I have a stock 12A box right now, a FC NA is ready to goi n as it\'s a bit stronger. When time and money permits, I\'d go for a TII box too, but the main problem there is the driveshaft. You must have a custom driveshaft to connect the TII box with the first gen diff.
Getting the TII engine in as such is very straight forward: a simple matter of swapping front cover and sump. The bracket must be lenghted a bit (20mm) to allow the stock engine mounts to be used (one needs a little modification).
One important thing is making an oildrain in the front cover. Not very hard, but shouldn\'t be forgotten.

[antnicuk]

the manifold has a T3 or T4 flange, the stock turbo II has a unique one if remember correctly

[Archbish]

The GSL-SE sump is amazingly rare - because so many people have put 13BT into a first gen!! *grin*  

Sorry, by Front plate, I meant Front cover - which needs to be modded to include the oil drain and bracket mod, as you described...

I was told about the manifold by a dude on Aus Rotary who\'s done this conversion - it\'d be interesting to see if this is possible, and I think I\'d have to see it first...

[rotary emotions]

try some aussie sites, should come up with something.
the manifold I found on one of those sites was not for a T3 or T4, but to use a stock TII turbo in a RHD chassis.
The front cover only needs the oildrain, that\'s not difficult. I had a block of alu welded on, then drilled and tapped for a AN10 connector.
GSL-SE sumps can be ordered new in europe, no problem. I payed about £100 for mine, but that\'s better then importing a used one from the USA.
