NA 2 rotor - damn addictive

[RotorHeid]

Stop,stop!!!!,
what happen to good old N/A,
not a another bl**dy turbo talk!!,It\'s for girls:eek:
Real men talk N/A:yes
If it\'s me, sell FD and buy 20B and modify into N/A(  easy 350hp+ ).
Install into FB or  maybe FC!! and strenghten the back end.
listen to the rotary music!
Cool!:D

Agreed, this discussion is not about engines with silly turbines on its about good old fashioned carbs and stuff.

Im sorry to say my NA is getting replaced by a turbo FB with 200bhp, BUT it still has a Weber carb and its still a proper job 12a.

OOOOhhh sounds very cool Ant. Are ya gonna tell us a wee bit more than that though? kinda rude to keep people hanging on for the good info:)
 cheers, michael.

 so is it a draw through weber or blow through???

Was there a category for N/A rotors at Rotorstock this year? Would be sweet to have an N/A 1/4 mile board for ALL MOTOR glory. Maybe the mods could make it a sticky in the 1/4 mile times forum. Show the turbo boys what our engines are capable of without lag and miles of ducting. (not that i dislike turbo\'s or anything :Laugh )

I think that Era had the fastest did he not! rapid little car that and not a turbo in sight.

I was going to put up a trophy for last years events ... must chase up they guy who was meant to be polishing the trophy

*update ... not done and I need to find somewhere else that will do it

[A7NTY]

Hehe I think its a blow through. The car.... ...ah well ok ill tell you its an ultra rare Janspeed turbo picking it up early next week, may take it to Trax

Looks beautiful, and its in great condition. Must be just about the rarest of all the 1st gen varieties. On a bonus point one of our customers was one of the people that designed it

The meister, Tim himself (I call him sensei) has dragged it out for me, I was drooling over it after I saw it in his big back shed. I am tempted to go for another NA one sometime but its gone on hold now this car came up.

Cheers, Ant.

Nice one Ant, for a moment there I thought you had your eyes on the red 1st gen turbo at WGT but a Janspeed Turbo is Gold Dust.... never seen one before but have heard good things.

Yeah, expect its a blow through if its got a Weber.

Another interesting 1st gen in the club. :cheers

Be cool if we had a N\\a section for next years RS...wont be running the 7 though as the next project is under wayyyyyyyyyyy.......run turbo if you like but its gotta be carbo turbo..no fuel injection....however we will have to put some ballast on then.....heheheheheheh

[rotary emotions]

Well, if I did the whole project again, I\'d go carbed too. EFI is all cool and so, but electronics are so boring. A carb at least is a real machine.
I\'d love a Peripheral Port carbed monster. Well, my NSU Ro80 is carbed and PP, but hardly a monster

Wish I join the rotary fun down south, but boy!, long way from Aberdeen!!.

[travellinbob]

You lucky sod!!! how cool is that going to be?!!  I saw a HKS version of the same kit in oz and was a very nice piece of period engineering. Woul dlove to check it out in the flesh some day. Get some photos up asap.

Theres a chap in California making some really good power with a 12a and a blow through weber. I lost track of where he was at the moment but it was certainly close to, if not over 700 (American ) horsepower. A lot of the top cars in Puerto Rico were still running blow through carb setups up to very recently as well (IIRC)

this is the chap from the US http://www.rx7club.com/member.php?find=lastposter&t=513911

[rotary emotions]

Robert was way over 700hp (US) last time I read about his "little" 12A. Don\'t remember the exact figures either, but let\'s say you need to bring  a real big FD to win from him!
