I want to try out some ideas.

I thought the belts for the accessories didn't hold much past 9K. You can always make them chain driven or electrical(like the MR2s, lol)...I heard that stock rotaries can go up to 18K before blowing up, it was just a matter of how you build it, and how well lubricated the motor stays...at least thats all hearsay, never seen it...

Some of the key parts are stationary gears and bearings, as well as rotor gear and bearings. Clearancing the rotors is also necessary.

Dammit...I wanted to be the first one in the tri-state area to have a 10k+ redline on a daily driver. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Maybe I just have to stay in the midwest to be original.

You could rev your current motor to 10K. It may blow up, but it will do it.

One of my lecturers reckons that when he used to race on weekends there was a guy that raced with him that had a 10A runnin to 14k....
