You already have a fully built RMW motor...why not go with the Rotrex? Or wait for the TVS kit which is almost done being developed.

What are you going to use the car for?

Oh ok, I know the car....

That was a high compression 1.8 from what I recall. It should be Rotrex ready

That motor was built with a rotrex in mind.
you really need to get in contact with RMW about that motor to learn the details.
Are you running it with meth still? It's tuned for meth and if you are not you could be or have already done serious engine damage.
