Maybe when you quit being a negative, narrow minded asshole about it you can accept that there are better systems out there that have more features for the money.

Oh BTW, consider this a warning for the above two statements.

why? OP said he is trying to do stuff on the cheap. those ID injectors are far from cheap.

i'm with ted.
save up a little cash and do it right, or don't do it. "cheap" is usually not successful unless you understand ever facet and possible shortcoming of what you're attempting.

Ted is a mod. He also likes to harass noobs.

Kind of a conflict of interest to me. Ted does possess a lot of good information, it is just the delivery that is an issue.

So, Vincent, in the User Control Panel, just add Ted to your ignore list and you will be fine

I wouldn't call it harassing noobs. I'd say he just gives them less room before "guiding" them to the "correct" path. (and when I say correct I mean the path known to work, the least headaches, and the greatest chance of success). All the local people with 6-port turbos are WELL versed in the risk they are taking, or at least have people guiding them through the process.

Advantages:
1, I already have a 6 port in the car
2, they're cheap to replace if it goes boom
3, Paul, Jacob, and Charles help me

You do realize RETed is a mod right?

[My5ABaby]

Get a Garrett GT35R - GT3582R specifically.

Would a streetported 6 port make a difference in optimal turbo choice?

I would take you up on your advice, but I don't believe I will be sticking around. I came here because a friend told me that this site was different from the other rotary site (rx7club). So far I'm not convinced. Had what I thought were some valid questions for someone wanting to turbo a NA motor. Thought I could get a few pointers from guys who have ACTUALLY done this. Got labeled a newb(even though I've been on rx7club for 6 years). Tried explaining myself and got alienated (and insulted) some more. Then I got an "infraction" for stating the obvious. On top of that, everyone steps in and defends Ted all because "Ted is Ted".

So, you guys have fun and take care. Maybe in the future the powers that be will be a little more selective about who they give "mod" status too. For me, moderators are people who represent the site and are what gives the site their reputation. They are supposed to be knowledgeable and respectful to EVERYONE, regardless of how "newb" they are. I don't care how smart Ted is or what all he has done for the rotary community-none of that will ever "right" his horrible attitude towards me and others.

See ya.

I find it ironic that he mentioned both the Evil Forum and a rant about what a proper mod should be...

Good luck to your project.
Maybe when you break 600, you'll come back and school us all.

GTFO troll.

ID injectors are not expensive for what you get. Do it once, or do it twice and spend double the money.

And sorry, 2 just because Robert is a damn slacker. Lol. I could say three since Paul used to have one.

And E85 is inconsistent in the blend. Look it up. Matt's car with the parallel set up is fine, but for most, just switching to E85 is going to be a headache, and cost a lot more.

So GTFO until you buy another rotary.

Ouch... lol I'm only 50% slacker, 75% poor, and 29% bad at percentages.

E85 is a bit inconsistent, but it also provides a decent margin of error no matter what the exact mix is. I plan on running it, with or without parallel lines (not sure how that would make a difference in consistency though?).

There was an excellent article linked around here somewhere detailing the pros/cons of E85 with enough insight to know that I would never use it. Mostly because of the fact that it absorbs water over time. So if your car sits (like mine always do) it can cause some headaches down the road.

But I know there are E85 leghumpers and E85 haters. I am not a hater, Matt's car is proof that it makes power, I just am not sold on it.

why would you have to "do it twice" because you got injectors that are not Injector Dynamics?

GTFO? that's not very nice. rotary or not, i would say i'm just as qualified to post on this subject as you are. we both have real world experience with e85, aftermarket turbos, Haltech EMS, and Injector Dynamics fuel injectors, right?

i was not telling the OP whether or not to run E85, just questioning you, as you seem to have experience with its consistency.

also, robert is exactly right about the safety margin being higher to begin with (you may have trouble googling that one)

Nope, but I can read. Which means I don't have to deal with consistency.
