12a Rotary Build

[kangaroosa]

Have you had it running yet? I'm keen to see how the ASI Rad performs as thats probably the next upgrade on my list.

 

How do your brakes feel after the conversion? I found mine to be rather shite with little bite and a hard pedal. I'm looking into vacuum canisters at the moment, given that my old 5k had around 160psi of compression and a healthy 12a is ~100psi.

ill tell you when its running I'm a bit worried now that you said that

[chappo12]

so the car is in the rotary shop

 

reliance are really really good but i still feel a bit hurt (its got nothing to do with reliance rotarys there the best) you drop your car off and then they start the questions when they look at the engine bay.

 

now i know that they need to ask these questions but its so hard to explain every thing. i guess you know what the final product is gonna look like

but they see it as why is this like that thats not good i.e

 

ive done every thing myself so far so i guess i know what the out come is going to be.

 

 

but they don't.

[chappo12]

They did so much work. stuff i didnt even think of doing that needed done and now it runs

 

brappin like champ.

hi guys,

being a noob i don't get some of the things you are talking about and some i do---but mostly i wanna say awesome looking work fellas! rotaries are really cool swaps and i especially like the n/a ones--wicked cool! i just bought my first rolla, an 81 (i think they call it a te72??? here in the states---still deciphering the alphabet soup) an you guys have my bangin my wang wanting a rotary in it now! it could be sooooooo cool. do you uys know of anyone whos done this swap in this body?

[chappo12]

kangarossa is the man to ask his is better then mine.

 

 

the laws in the usa would prob let your put a 13b in so go that

 

 

13b bridge port if you can with a weber carb will fly in a rolla

 

in aus we have to go 12a

[seabiscuit]

But it needs photo's and videos or it didn't happen (and you get banned)

[rolla rookie]

still figuring what to do at this point but once i start ill post pics etc. btw seabiscuit i love your sig (corolling)

[chappo12]

so it took the rota for a drive sounds tough

 

 

but thats just it

 

makes a lot of noise but doesnt really go very hard any one know why ?????

 

 

and now it seems really hard to start and then if i do start it i rev it and then it idles down and then stops all together

[KENut]

Cool! The first drive must have been awesome even with issues.

 

Sounds like a fuel issue to me, maybe blockages in the carby. The carby has had the float set properly, tuned etc hasnt it?
