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.

BLOWNMK12L

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

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.

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

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

Rotaries are a wonderful thing to spend buckets of cash on. If you don't have buckets of cash, that will be an issue for sure.

I reckon the SR20 would be a nice engine.. But every time I have priced up the conversion, I end up thinking.. yeah but for that sort of money I could build up a very tough pinto.

Good luck with your decision.

Yeh Vanman i know, BLOWNMK12L keeps putting them ideas in my head, i know very strong pinto sounds good... but you are limited on the pinto aren't you? With the SR20 you can down the track turbo and od all sorts of stuff... Am i Right in saying that spending such money on the pinto would be a waste?

Yep, We never learn. When i say i waste i mean, the pinto can only go so powerful, The SR20 N/A pretty quick, but then also i can eventually Turbo it. On the other hand the pinto can go very quick but it can only put so much power out before its at it's max. I just want a engine i can keep building to be quicker and faster and still be trustworthy.
