Any suggestions?I know I'll need some 1600cc secondaries and huge IC and fuel system to match it but I want to know what turbos are out there that will produce 500hp at the flywheel?
Thanks

on a rotary you need a To4R or bigger, you can do it with a To4S if you don't mind boosting the living **** out of it. There are several large ball bearing turbo's you can use but I wouldn't ever run a ball bearing turbo on a rotary engine unless you've got $ to burn...

you may be into boostin the stock turbos for a while, but too much heat from all of that boostin will cause some premature wear in your other components. get ready for a **** ton of money.
the goal that you seek is not too far fetched at all. that is roughly 430 whp. so, any turbo like the T-78, T-04r/z, GT35/40, T88, and T-51kai will all surmount the goal that you seek. just make sure that you build towards that goal, not to it, and then learn the hard way.
just look at all the guys that are poppin seals out the *** b/c/o irregularly proportioned maps and tuning curves. there are far too many horror stories out there for me to make a jump right now. ****, i have 4000.00 in cash in my bedroom, and have been looking into singles for a year now, and am just making up my mind. and because i am shooting for 500~hp and a daily driver most of the time, i am going with the gt35/40. i like the to4r, but i am looking for the most easily installable turbo kit that i can purchase. so, those were just a few of the things that were affecting my decision during the search.....of course, i now have the ported and dowell pinned motor with HD seals and fuel to go with it....
good luck!

the to4r is not going to be the cheaper of the kits, in fact, hks products are some of the more pricey ones to be had. just do as much research as you can, and take your time, and make sure that your car is ready and up to the task....

i'm also doing a 13b-re swap...and those stock turbos are good for around 14psi...what you might think of doing is sending them out to bnrsupercars.com...they have exp with that turbo set up.
