1/2 bridge is a type of porting - for an explanation of what porting is and the different types have a look here: http://home.iprimus.com.au/bluey3/portsPage/ports.htm and here: http://rotaryengineillustrated.com/how-a-wankel-rotary-engine-works/ports-intake.html

I have a 1/2 bridge in the FC and it is streetable, a little lumpy on idle and yes it can be thirsty, but that is very dependant on the mapping of the ECU.

If I were you, I\'d go for either a big streetport or a 1/2 bridge, an Apex\'i PFC, FMIC, uprated injectors and fuel pump and a boost controller for starters. You\'ll find that you are right at the limit of the stock twins and you\'ll be on full boost earlier than before (with the porting), but that should see you with some nice power levels, the next step would be going big single (or even bigger, non sequential twins ;) )

Cost is the limiting factor though, to do the above properly you be looking at about £3000 (that\'s if the engine is in good nick when it is taken apart for porting - if it needs a rebuild add another £1.5-2k)

Loud? Hell yes! :D

Sell yours and buy one already done
Will be a much cheaper option

But not always the best as you never know what\'s been done...
 
Thats why I like to buy mine standard and then start....you can\'t trust someone else has taken the time and effort you would have....

you dont need a turbo timer! Turbos are water/oil cooled! It needs to cool down by driving it slowly last 4-5 min.

i have to agree with that, sitting still idling doesnt cool anything down really hardly any oil pressure anyway.

if you have time to drive fast then you make time to cool it.

until they invent ones that take it round the block a few times not quite worth it tbh
