Rhys,
Might be able to help you out with the 13B conversion. Drop me an email about what's wrong with your engine, and we will take it from there.

i reckon zetec or sr would be better even a n/a sr is cheap enough then turbo it later , then you already have good cams and compression for off boost pick up with a good tune of coursesome of my mates have rotas and although they have heaps of power they do use a bit of fuel and are a bit women like ( tempermental)

Yeah, The Fuel isnt a huge issue, ive got a daily which is awsome on fuel. The Temper of the rotor can be no more trouble then what the freaking 2ltr with 45 webers, i can put up with whatever the rotor can throw at me, my escort has been driving at the most of 2 weeks. poo poo kept breaking every 5 seconds, and i would upgrade that and then the next broke... so im after some nice big power so ive decided to get a 13b Turbo Bridge port. I May aswell go get some nice power and not half do it... Ill be doing a bit of research into it and weighing things up but i think im set on the rotor. Although i had been tossing up between the SR20 for a long time, but i love the loud yappy noise of a rotor... lol

Who is putting it in for you dude ? do you have an engine lined up ?

Hey Ben, Nah i haven't got a engine lined up yet, got to find a 13b setup with box etc, got a mate helping me get the engine out. Not happening for a few weeks, The head is off it's tits so im going to just sell the head and the webers and strip it as much as i can, then piss the bottom end off. The conversion part will be done as much as me and friends can do, but i think ill get a Rotor Mobb to finish it off. Im not a %100 yet, just have to do a little more research. Tools and space are my biggest draw back. If i need to do big mods, i haven't got the stuff to do it.

sound good i do like the n/a rota noise pics of her when its in.

I am interested in your bottom end Rhy's. More like the block. what's it bored out to?

Hey Greenmk2, Not sure it wasn't mentioned when i bought it. Im taking the engine out this weekend, so ill see what's up with it. the block has been tampered with but i just dont know the exact details mate. As soon as i can find out some info (which id say would be after this weekend) Ill tell you.

Hey Rhys,
I ended up getting a block and sierra rod's pistons off shannon. Thanks anyway

Ok, haven't been on here for a little while due to bottom end of
my car giving in... and losing license but.. ive come to a decision im going to go SR20 N/A because im on my P's (believe me id love a turbo) i was tossing up between the 13B and SR20 and did research and last thing i want is another engine playing around on me all the time. SR20 seem to be alot reliable and can be pushed very hard. So now all i've got to do is find me a mob who can convert for me. [%]
