Dream Setup - what I will actually be doing in the next year or two: 13B-MSP Hybrid; Intake, Bridge, and Exhaust porting done by BDC; Boosted til I'm scared; Water Methanol injection; OS Giken Built Transmission and Differential; 3in custom exhaust all the way back w/ cutout for fun time; custom cooling paths for radiator and brakes; bigger brake kit for increased heat dispersion; Hawk Brake Pads; 18x10 Enkei RPF1's wrapped in barely DOT approved rubber; MazdaTrix Wide Body with custom aero and underbody; Carbon Fiber EVERYTHING; Gauges EVERYWHERE; Interior mounted GoPro; anndddd... Sohn Adapter?

Still Titanium Gray

I have a brand new BDC bridgeport sitting in my garage (not mine) that won't run, you may wanna rethink that plan. Proper prior planning. Do some extensive research before you choose a builder and what you want done. You can be a risk taker but be prepared to accept the consequences when it doesn't work out.

Ah, I haven't read up on any of his engines failing to start, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Was that by chance bridgeporting on ports 1&2? or 3&4?

I'd love to rebuild it myself, my engine seems to be in excellent condition so far, but would love the option of porting it also. Hmm... Back to the search box.

There is only one bridge ported renny running on the street that I am aware of that BDC built and there is not data to show a bridgeport is any benefit on a renny. I would say there is a reason why. Anyway, just research (look for bad guy threads on this forum and other rotary forums) the builder you choose.

I suppose I could also draw some conclusions from Hoss's build, see how that BDC Bridgeport works for him. Unless that was the engine you were talking about..

There's always BHR or Rotary Ressurection. Thanks again, hope it works!

My dream setup is different from your dream setup.
Lose the habit of asking strangers for opinions. Otherwise, you'll get answers that you may not like. That's just a fact.
Do your research. Decide what goals you have for your car. Plan accordingly.
