For Starters it'll get a Clutch swap, and Intake. i'll post up install pictures, as well as before and after shots.

Caim · 02-17-2009, 09:02 PM

Flooder · 02-18-2009, 01:43 PM

Any more info?

staticpat · 02-18-2009, 01:46 PM

Sounds like fun. Get some pictures when you can

.

bigtony08 · 02-18-2009, 05:01 PM

lets see how shes going post some pics

WE3RX7 · 02-18-2009, 05:44 PM

When you say for starters you're doing the clutch, etc. Does that mean you're staying NA for a while? If you want to go turbo, then you'll end up selling the clutch you get for the NA...

89Rotary · 02-18-2009, 11:11 PM

It Is Gonna Stay N/A For A While. and Personally wanna Build a Turbo set up on this Motor.

Got my Intake Install (ebay FTL), lol The Piping they sent wouldn't work so i used factory and attached a High Flow Filter to it. lol Pictures up tomorrow when its light outside lol.

Whizbang · 02-18-2009, 11:14 PM

the factory intake piping will make the same power as any intake you'll produce from piping. So it might not be worth your time or expense.

Nopis1O · 02-18-2009, 11:17 PM

building and turboing a n/a isnt always the easiest or most cost effective. if you wana turbo then by a t2 engine and swap trust me its better.

89Rotary · 02-18-2009, 11:23 PM

EVeryone's told me that Swapping a Turbo Engine into a N/A is stupid, in fact i got a buddy who'll trade me a Turbo Car for my Car.

And about the Intake, the High Flow Filter, without the Air Box's Extra bend must be worth somthing. Sounds Nicer at least

Whizbang · 02-18-2009, 11:26 PM

actually you would be surprised. The stock air box usually works better than the high flow filters mostly due to heat rejection and the large surface area.

89Rotary · 02-18-2009, 11:31 PM

ah i see. this ones got a Make Shift Heat Shield, nothin Special though.

WE3RX7 · 02-20-2009, 04:20 PM

Doing a T2 swap is entirely the more "logical" way to go about getting boost under your hood - anybody who says turbo'in the NA is better than the T2 motor for making power is crazy (sorry Vex if you're reading this

)

I've done the swap and so have many others, so you'll have a wealth of knowledge on the swap. Only a handfull have done a turbo-NA and lived to write about it

89Rotary · 02-23-2009, 01:20 AM

lol thanks for the info. But i've decided to build a All Motor Rotary. lol
Also did paint my S4 Rims lol
Stock

New'ish

Max777 · 02-23-2009, 08:07 PM

Personally, building an all motor rotary is even harder than the 6pt, due to the fact that the porting, exhaust, engine management setup/ tuning, and engine assembly would preferrably need to be done by the same person, and compliment each other in order to achive the most gains, which can get quite expensive.

More things for N/A all motor setup:

cooling mods
oil mods
rotor clearancing
rotor lightening
assembly ballance (rotors, e shaft, counterweights)
huge porting
new housings (not worth effort otherwise)
custom tuned exhaust setup
etc
etc
etc

otherwise why bother?
