NA 2 rotor - damn addictive

[A7NTY]

I have only had my 1st gen on the road for a few weeks and I already love it.

That NA 12a sounds the business, it already has a Janspeed exhaust, whats the best way for increasing power?

Big Webber carb? Big ports? what are they like to drive as road cars with big ports and whats recomended for the ultimate road going 12a experience. For one thing I wouldnt mind a few more rpm the 7,000rpm seems a little pitiful.

My FD is bridge ported revs to 9,000 with an HKS T04Z turbine and so beyond being a useable road car, so what do people reckon for getting the most out of that fantastic little bumble bee that is the 12a?

NA is addictive!!! best few hundred quid I have spent in years!

Cheers, Ant.

i completely agree,  i have a another gen 1 with springs shocks, brakes and steering all uprated with a couple of minor engine mods and its a hoot to drive.  My FC only has 460 FLHP which isnt much compared to yours ant but still OTT for the road.  

Best bit is thats it quiet and just keeps on reving.

Pull the engine and do a big street port,then put an IDA Weber on it,with a decent low pressure fuel pump.
The exhaust can stay the same,that should see nearly 200hp at the flywheel with some higher rpm.

I drove mine last night, it doesnt appear to have a rev limiter, just the buzzer. Are they ok revving to 7500-8000 rpm (I havent tried that far yet)

Im looking into the IDA webber now, the car has been very cost effective so far so I want to keep it that way. Ill keep my eyes open for the carb and manifold

Street ports are easier to drive around town..........however a bridge ported motor is a lot more fun....:cool  Just adapt your driving style in town..go on..pull that motor and cut it..:evillaugh

[antnicuk]

nice!

Ant,  mine has seen 8k easily on the original engine

I reccomend EFI & TII turbo, I\'ve never had such a reliable rotor. Go water injection tho not intercooler - my throttle response is instant, no lag.

If I\'d be in your shoes: build a street or bridge port NA. I agree turbo\'s and EFI do the job, but I NEVER heared anything so good as a rotary sucking air through a set of webers or mikuni\'s. My old 12A had a racing beat exhaust and mikuni carb, and it sounded way better then the current TII I have in the car.

[antnicuk]

efi and turbo will certainly get you power but it aint cheap!

[oldone]

You want turbo,buy a turbo car,you want nostalgia...have a 1st gen with an IDA on..................:cool

[antnicuk]

what if you want both?  power and nostalgia???

[oldone]

You buy olskoolrotor\'s Rx2 turbo !!!!!!!!!!:Thumbs-up

That\'s my new engine, finally running after two years headscratching...
TII with not much of an exhaust at the moment (straight 70mm pipe right to the back box, which richt now is a stock FB box) Noisy, but not half as addictive as a carbed NA. More powerfull though :Giggle
