Hey all....
Well I started about a year ago with the grand idea of swapping a Mazda 13b rotary into my 1970 GT, but having gone through some financial troubles, and now just troubles with trying to figure out everything with swapping the rotary in, I'm planning on going back to the stock 1.9L that cam with the car... with a few upgrades on it.
So here I go with probably a load of questions, any help would be much appreciated, and sorry if I start rambling, this is all a bit spur of the moment....
Ok, first a few things:
1. how does the 1.9 do with boost on it?
2. How strong is the bottom end, and how much room for improvement is there?
3. What's the stock compression ratio?
4. What kind of options are there for fuel injection? short of designing your own system with say a Haltech and a custom designed intake.
Ok, so with my little epiphiny here, what I'm thinking is comverting to fuel injection (I like the idea of having good cold weather starting charistics, living in Wa) and running a turbo setup with prolly somewhere in the 9-15psi boost range, depending one what kind of tolerances the engine can handle.
Anyways, that's what I can think of right now, would love to get some help on this and maybe I can get started on some engine work soon =)
Laters,
Greg
