After reading the whole post I disagree in many things...
1 My old 13B P port did burn-out easy and it didn't have 500 to 600 rwhp and It was a very reliable motor.
2 With my new motor i've got 510rwhp and it's only from a 80ci motor.
I would never get a V8. After racing many V8 with the same HP as mine and seeing the look on there faces when I beat them makes me proud of owning a rotary.
Fair enough that a V8 has more torque but I'm not towing anything.
And to finish, Still today my best race was against an Rx3 that had a 350ci in it and the guy got pissed when I told him that the reason he lost was because he remove the real motor out.
He still can't beat me...

4000...then how is that one guy quoting 2400? atleast i'm being realistic about how much i wanna spend, that guy is insane....i assume the tranny is gonna cost another 100?
I've found a 3 rotor for 2400, everything to get in runnin for that.
dude, your gonna a do what your gonna do. But don't ask for our approval because it's not gonna happen. And don't even try to convince me what your doing is better than keeping a rotary. Cause I live in the really real world, and KNOW otherwise.

You did not read what I said Corksport tends to be on the high side.
I know shere there is a kickass 20B for about 7K that will easily be a 600-800HP motor.
As far as tranny goes if you have a turbo II tranny your good to go. Again corksport sells them for about $400.
Isn't this sweet???

BTW - You lack of a comment on that TVR I posted shows me you really are not a car enthusiest you just want to go fast in a car.
This engine / tranny can be had for about $7K. Trust me people would run past your Corveete powered car to see this engine. Well,... the people that know wtf they are looking at.

I built a 13b-RE custom turbo Fuel injected FB for a shade under 8300 bucks.
My friend built a V-8 n/a carb FC for 12k (his estimate)
We raced and were damn near dead even! I won the first race, he won the second.
Two weekends ago he ran a 11.68@120mph
My 13b is a junkyard engine while he is on his second V-8. I don't wanta hear about rotary reliability in a bad way.

Hey one more question I am admitting ignorance to the mighty V-8 here.
What model car does a 500HP LS-1 come in?? My dad has a 2000 Vette and has 350HP the Z06's have 400HP where are these 500HP engines lurking around??
Your telling me your buying one for $4K and it has 500HP right out of the box? If there is not one how much will it tale to get to 500HP from a 400HP Z-06 engine or from a 350HP C-5 engine??
Brandon - Do what you want dude. I am not trying to slam you but I wll get defensive if you say rotary engines are not reliable. I have a 370HP engine in my car and it will run for a long long time.
My friend in Marrietta Geogia has a 360RWHP RX-7 and he has been driving it like that for 3 years now problem free.
You only hear about the mihaps because thats what is newsworthy. If you would like ever 3 weeks or so I will post up that my car and my friends car are running great and problem free.

you didn't read my post, you buy a set of heads which add about 100hp, so you take the ls6 block from a z06...put those heads on...there u go, 500hp.....and i'm not a car enthusiast....i've own a camaro, pickup truck, dsm, and i did all the work myself to all of those cars, loved them all to, and I'm not trying to make people look at my engine, i could care less what people think about my car, and i don't recall ever asking for anyones approval to do the engine swap, i asked if anyone has done it, to get advice, if ur so faithful to rotaries, stay out of the engine swap section...also, i don't like TVRs hence my non comment on it

Aight to clarify this I am buying an LS1 Corvette motor then a t56 tranny from a firebird...the corvette dosen't have a transmission it has a transaxle....Talk **** about the v8 if you wanna now...I will talk to you this spring...beside if I don't like it I can always sell it and buy a 3-rotor...you say its not all about horsepower like your talking to an idote...come to vt and race our 73 horsepower car in a autocross and well hand it to you without breaking a sweat...Besides LS1 has forged pistons and all the good stuff...ordered a lunatti cam, rockers, valve springs and retainers...drivetrain stuff for you rotary people 
. Everyone here is all talking **** about my rotary and his rotary and my brothers sisters cousins rotary...fact is I have seen very few people really show me what their car will do...then agian chevvy people are the same way...like I said I will post more info on the swap after christmas break and I will be at the tracks around VA and tennesse this summer...if your rotary is so damn fast I'll expect to see you, your tri-rotar swap and all 5 million psi of boost there I'll bring my car, my street gas and forget to feather my clutch when I pull into the track but for me it will be not to spin the tires instead of not kill my car ...
