No guys, not just on a rotary. I was actually thinking of the NSX. It's got a high as hell ratio which makes it very boost unhappy. I'm really thinking about getting an NSX and the guys at the NSX forums are just dumbasses. If I don't find an FD in 2 months I'm going with an NSX. So, down the road I'm gonna be thinking Turbo and wanna know if the engine's ratio can be changed to accomotade high boost. (15-20 PSI)
They have SC's for the NSX but I'm not ready to spend 10k on a 100HP upgrade.
The FD made me a boostjunkie

i would think you could get lower comp pistons or destroke it some (but i think honda's are really square built = good rod to stroke ratio) prolly thicker head gaskets theres more but i don't know that much BTW i'm no expert im a pizza delivery boy!

Theres a few ways to do it. First way. Cheap, and probably not something I would do to an NSX. Put 2 or possibly 3 head gaskets on. It moced teh head farther from the block, decreasing compression.
Second, and the better way to go, is get aftermarket pistons with a dish. You might have to look a little, but Im sure somebody sells them for an NSX.
