You have to get oil into the engine somehow. Whether through premix, fittings in the manifold or the carb's float bowls, it doesn't really matter very much.

There is an easy way to supercharge a 12A. Just buy one of Atkins' kits. It's not especially cheap, but then again neither is a turbo. It doesn't end up being all that much more expensive, really, especially if you already have a nice NA exhaust. But you are limited on power.

Just a curious question to those who critisize the Holley carbs saying they're not well suited for the rotary engine because it a Holley:

-Does an unmodified Edelbrock function properly without modifications?

-Or, if Holleys arent the best candidate then why arent more people running them? Or most importantly, why isnt RB marketing them??

I dont mean to come off as some kind of asshole, these are just some serious questions that I've had on my mind for a while. I've been running the Holley kit for a while now with no problems. Just was curious as to why there were ill feelings torward Holley carbs. I understand for the most part its personal preference but was your decision based on experience or was it just from someone elses failed attempt. I realy am curious cause I'd like to know if I wasted money on a glorified Holley when I could have just bought an "Off the shelf Edelbrock".
