Where's the money coming from to fund such a ludicrous project?



Not only is it ludicrous, but it's also rediculous. This is not single turbo upgrade, bub.

I thought we were past the burning point.. I'm not an incompetent, pot-headed 17 year old, take me seriously or go home. Come on, I'm not getting on saying "lol guyz i ar getting 4 rotarr so suk it! " Please don't treat me like I am. Edit: Hmm...should I ask "Can I get a AMEN!?"....yes, yes I should.

Sorry, but it's hard to read it as anything further than a kid dreaming asking the most rediculous questions to look cool to me...



First off, if you were anyway serious at all about a t88, you wouldn't need the forums to find out how bad the spool is,...you go by experience. The only rotary you've ridden in is your Rx8 huh?



Secondly, any project as huge as a 4-rotor couldn't possibly be begun by asking "where do I buy one"...you have a LOT more on your plate with this one. You can't be Paul Teutel Sr., you better have the skills of MORE than a usual mechanic for this one...and you're only 17...concerned about what seats others use...



You don't need to prove yourself all the time. Drive what you love and love what you drive. Have you ever ridden in a 300-400rwhp Rotary powered sub 3000 lb. vehicle? I don't think you need a 1000hp Daily driver bro. You don't need to prove jack to anyone.



I'm just being honest. If you have the money to pay someone else to do it all (seems the only way it could happen) then I'd love to see the results...



No hard feelings bro.

None taken and I'm not trying to throw any your way. I know there's no way I can convince you that I'll pull together the means to get this done. I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone, I don't believe in having to impress others, I believe in self satisfaction. And it will by no means be a daily driver, this'll be a weekend/occasion deal. Please though, can we stop the doubting/burning? Not just from you necessarily, but from everyone. I asked for help, and I expect help. Not getting "you won't be able to do it," and its many forms. (Although that usually drives me to do it even more.) I don't expect anyone to think I'll make this happen, and no one probably should. There's been too many saying that they will, and it never happens. I'll leave it at that.

Edit: I view this forum as some sort of support group, I can't help but wonder what Alcoholics Anonymous would be like if every time So-And-So said he was giving up drink forever and he got responses common in these forums. (Not meant to offend anyone, so don't take any.)

I hope you do get a 4 rotor, that would be But like PhoenixDownVII said "Secondly, any project as huge as a 4-rotor couldn't possibly be begun by asking "where do I buy one"...you have a LOT more on your plate with this one. You can't be Paul Teutel Sr., you better have the skills of MORE than a usual mechanic for this one.." END QUOTE I Not you,but I think I would try the 3 rotor for now cuz there is a lot of info on this swap.

I understand that this is going to be about as hard as it can get. However, I am going to do anything I can to make it happen. Of course, if I can't get this done myself, an expert mechanic's services will be required. That's a last resort thing. Now, let's move beyond telling me I'm in over my head, shall we? lol.

Edit: Whew, I'm almost done posting in this thread, I've gotten all the info I need...Brad, PM me when you get a chance, I can give you more info (and communicate with someone who won't flame me.)

I understand the need for help, your AA analogy, and with that, any questions in this third gen section that I (we) can help we'll gladly do...



You got some help but I'm just casting in some insight as to why it seems very silly. You can make great power with fewer rotors, with applications already tried and tested and much more reasonable.



You have to walk before you run, and asking as a 17 year old just gives everyone the immediate impression that you have yet to walk...if you're following...



...which Is why I suggest you get a ride in a heavily modified 13b or 20b first. (I know they're hard to find but if you get involved enough in the rotary club and love rotaries enough to attend enough events upon your research, you will no doubt)

What I and others have posted is a LOT more modest (read: POLITE) than MOST of the responses you'd get posting this ANYWHERE else or anything remotely "out-of-this-world" at any car forum. Take things with a grain of salt, this is the internet ya know
