Just get a good rebuild with 2mm OEM Mazda seals and a streetport. The BNR stage 3 turbos are great, thats what I've got. Then throw in enough fuel and everything you need to tune like Datalogit and wideband and your on your way to 400rwhp with good tuning

"Allllll around the worrrllld......Haters,Haters,Haters":dbanana:
Sorry I just looked in on this and had to laugh. That song was the first thing that came to my head. If the brother likes his gear let him wear it. At the same time, he WAS just askin for it starting a "how do I get to 400 horsepower" thread with what body kit he has. Personally I wanted to know also but don't have anywhere near the cheese this dude has. If I did, you could bet I would throw on some look good/sound good **** and a tight *** CF vented hood along with the go fast goodies. So would most of you........don't act like you wouldn't........quit playin.

but when they are brand new they are MUCH MUCH harder to break, you'd have to hit them with a hammer. Also, the 2mm Hurley seals are weak as hell, I can snap a brand new one by holding it in my hand like a baseball bat and pressing it with my thumb real hard....they are total junk for a turbo car. Thier 3mm on the other hand are real hard but dont seal well.

Well, its not so much that you HAVE to rebuild it every 50K miles BUT you are talking about making roughtly 2x the power of stock and it usually wont make it past 80K.
You might be able to make it to 80K with a 400+RWHP engine if most of it is hwy miles and you dont romp on it a lot. However most people with that kind of power use it alot. The chances that your going to build a 400+rwhp rotary and it live to see much farther than 50K is slim. Even if it did make it to 50K I'd rebuild it cause its MUCH cheaper to rebuild before it blows up. All you do is swap out $800 worth of seals and Orings and slap it back together....course thats if you do it yourself. Most guys at that level build thier own engines

so when its time to rebuild, i was thinking of 3mm apex seals with a street port, or would a bridge port be better?
Large Streetport(Judge Ito Port), with all the cooling mods(radiator, aluminum AST), T-78 at 11 psi and you'll be scary fast and quite engine reliable.

i hope that this guy takes most of this lightly. i thought that i was on the other forum for a minute with some of the replys that were shot off first. BUT, then again, opinions are like ********....and he did not ask for an opinion regarding the body kit, just the power capabilities.
your mods look good so far, just get it tuned really well.
and do nto take everything said to heart. many of these guys are just flapping their gums, and their opinions are based on nothing but what they have heard here or there, never actually experienced.....
sorry, this thread turned to ****.
