thanks guys, answers a few q's ok now i understand about why the only major mods for the extreme hp rotarys are a beefy eccentric shaft and some good seals.



on a interesting note just today i saw a triple rotor rx7 race car in a workshop with 480hp / 300lbft naturally aspirated.... guy said comp was 9.44 to 1 and would run on any pump gas. he showed me a dyno chart which had flat torque from 4000-8000rpm and could be street driven if they wanted.

100% n/a. i'm still drooling, i swear

power was upper 9000rpm range don't remember the exact rpm. 11000rpm was the igniton cut-out but there was no redline marker on the tach.

torque sounds like what a 4 litre equivelent piston engine would make in road tune so its not that fantistic (probably cuz of the normal octane). but its just the mad revs.



Um *thinks* i believe he said peripheral ported, they retained some port opening mechanism and a mazdaspeed variable trumpets kit they use in works n/a cars.

i don't know about breaking, but this one is definately damaged from too much boost

i've never seen one that was broken, what happens is the whole entire rotor face moves around. that pic with the dented one, is an ok example of it. the detonation bends the corners of the apex seal grooves too.

400hp and 300lbsft on a peripheral port 20b is about right, it must pull really hard, we'll see what the stock 20b does soon. it gets dynoed on the 21st.
