I'd like some more pics, my dad is trying to convince me to go a standard rotary instead of a turbo A series in my project car and i disagree

Looking gewwd, where have you placed the front mount? To the side or in the middle? Also by the looks of things you've used the stnd inlet manifold yeah? What about the exhaust manifold, did u get one made up or do it ya self...?

Sorry bout all the q's, im just intrigued by it ! Looks good and sounds tough aswell...

yeh the front mount is mounted right in da middle...it is the standard inlet manifold.....the exhaust manifold is also dead STOCK...... i used a j pipe...(which is a a pipe that atteches to the existing exhaust manifold and bends back to the turbo).......

i raced an rb25 vl today with 3" exhaust 10 psi with a massive front mount.....we started in second.....i flooged the #### outa him at the start i pulled about 3 car lengths....untill i got to 4th gear where he caught up and overtook me....the gearing is quite annoying in my car me thinks.....but yeh that'll give u a bit of an idea....

does this engine have any internal work ie ported head big cams etc, did u balance evrything inside or wat? if your getting such good results from wat sound like an almost stock a14, with just a j-pipe, stock inlet etc, i cant wait to see what my set up goes like, ive been waiting for ages, all the mods ive done seem to feel like nothing after waiting so long...... also, u reckon its possible to take a photo of the turbo or show me an old one of just the turbo itself im still yet to find out exactly wat turbo i have.....

the exhaust is a 2 1/2 inch ......amount of Box's ????i dont know what u meen.

as for the sound it flutters like a b*tch..real loud....

yeh the webber aint in a box cause it is a limited edition webber blowthrough.....it was made to run boost through from stock

about the engine internals......they are DEAD STOCK..... including cam pistons crank EVERYTHING is dead stockas lol

but i will be changing the cam soon as i think its letting me down....

but basically it is a dead stock engine (rebuilt) just with a Decomp plate and blowthrough turbo setup slapped on

the decomp plate is from ACL u can go to repco or any other parts place and they should be able to order it in.....get the 1.5mm and use a good graphite head gasket....

about the pics for the j pipe.....it is extreemly extreemly hard to get one cause its hidden abit....but it bends from the stock exhaust manifold, back under the engine mount and back to where the turbo sits ........very very very simple

i hope i answered them all
