Relocated to the US. Young and foolish. Had to try it.

What sorta power figures are you looking for when the current mods are done?

[clutch-monkey]

sounds like a beast rasmus.

Vert vs. coupe is easy; it's the soundtrack. I only have cats, no mufflers. The car may be a bit heavier than the coupe, but damn if I care when the top is down and I floor it. It is intoxicating to say the least.

on the vert vs coupe front - not quite related, but interesting, a 993 at the club sprints started life out as a cabriolet, then was converted to hardtop, apparently because the extra bracing put in from factory was more subtle then having to add more in. so after giving it a roof it was super stiff

I'm hoping for 550-600 on the crank. I def want to be over 500.

That actually is kinda funny. It's the first time I've heard of a vert being converted - no pun intended - into a hardtop deliberately. I guess it depends on the make and model as well.

And my car is not really a beast but thanks! The following are all local cars:

[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxAfkB-E3xA&feature=related"]YouTube - Twin Turbo Mustang Saleen from Fastlane Motorsports[/nomedia]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmKjv2U_i14&feature=related"]YouTube - Busa's, Cobras, and Corvette's, Oh My! (JUGRNAUT PRODUCTION[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi6VUhOCIAI&feature=related"]YouTube - turbo rotary corolla featuring Rico Extreme[/ame]

The Saleen has since had its 4.6 yanked in favor of a 5.4 with Ford GT heads and twin 67mm turbos. So you see my blown GT is pretty much just a grocery getter.

Was ease of installation what made you choose supers over turboes?
If it was, and had it not been an issue, would you have turboed instead?

i want that 'rolla. that is bad ass.

But you aren't hispanic.

[cmcpokey]

But you aren't hispanic.

i realize this... but i have a soft spot for rotaries stuffed into cars they dont belong in.

[clutch-monkey]

haha good to see someone else appreciates oddball rotary swaps.

dream track car is a caterham with a 13b turbo.

[NSXType-R]

dream track car is a caterham with a 13b turbo.

That would be quite awesome.

I also want a rotary powered Miata. It's such an obvious swap that even Mazda hasn't thought about it.

I wonder why not.

i have actually seen a rotary powered caterham clone locally, but i don't know if it was a 12a or 13b. either way it was cool
there's also that retarded BMW 330ci with the quad rotor

[Rasmus]

So this is - with a few minor changes like the finish, bypass valve and filter - the kit I got from Forced Air Performance aka. Mountain Performance.



And this is how the car sits now. It hasn't been properly dynoed yet, so I haven't pushed it beyond 4k rpm, but the boost is definitely there.


And in hires just in case

Suspension. Wheels. Supercharger.

Done.

I looked at the Hellion single turbo kit, as I know another S197 owner who has it on his car, but to be honest the install did deter me somewhat. Had I gone for a forged bottom end, I would have gone for a twin turbo setup.

Badass *awaiting for new track #s*

Jesus Christ.

You are awesome, sir.

Respect.
