Time to meet Rotary NARP, welcome to the restart of my project Options

[Rotary'14]

Hi All,

I've been lurking around for a while now and felt it's time to get off my A$$ and put a teener back into my life. I went and rolled my last project car out of my ma's garage, a 1974 2.0 914. It has some rust issues in the rear trunk and the PO had some crappy repairs done to it, but I'm not complaining. This car has been sitting for over 10 years in my ma's garage. This would be my second rotary 914. The first rotary 914 I ever had was over 10 years ago, and it survived stop and go traffic and a vacation to SF california, I live in LA. It was my daily driver to my first "real" job for 3 years. But 3 years of daily driving really took it's toll on my poor 914 and lack of parking forced me to send it to the autobahn in the sky. I kept all the parts and I'm starting the project again.

You don’t have to worry about turbo charging or supercharging a non-turbo rotary engine. It works just about the same. Just remember that the rotaries like lots of fuel. You will however be limited in the total amount of boost that you can safely run. The big advantage to using a turbo motor is bigger injectors, harden stationary gears, slightly lower compression rotors and bigger throttle bodies and intake. If your intend on keeping the stock configuration. FYI there is available very low compression rotor in the range of 7 to 1 and 8 to 1. I had a set of the 7 to 1 ratios. What a kick in the pants when the boost comes on. Total madness. No traction in any gear. Then there are the issues regarding the 3mm ceramic apex seals and the 3 and 4 rotor. Don’t get me started; I can go on and on and on. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
