was it a 3rd gen.? b/c if so, that's my boy rob, he's supposed to be pushing about 800hp, or that's what he said he dynoed

No no no, I was just reacting to the 800hp reply. I don't think I've ever heard of anybody dynoing that high, maybe 500-600 horse.

i was told that he dropped a $10,000 race motor in, with the twin turbo setup, the Hp went up to about 720 or something, then dropped, so he's supposively switching to a single huge turbo to hold the HP to redline, i can't really say much more b/c i barely know anything about rotory engines

[turbo4g63]

i guess it was a 3rd gen, my guess would have to be in the area of a 1994-95 maybe, it looked real clean, no front mount though, so i am guessing it was probly pretty stock

unless you have the lm race car motor. i think its a 26b. its pretty much two 13b's joined. im pretty sure that engine will break high hp numbers...

aside from the fact that you will be searching for a VERY long long time for a 4 rotor, as there were only a handful of them ever made and nobody wants to make them anymore.....if you were able to find one you would be paying WELL over $15,000 for the engine....i'm sure that i'm grossly underestimating how much it would really cost though

making that high of horsepower on a rotary isn't impossible, just not very reliable......but there's no way in hell i would believe even my best friend if he "told me" that he dynoed at those numbers w/o personally seeing the SAE corrected dyno chart myself

usually rx7's run v-mount's...the front mount blocks to much air to the rad...my friends got one on his

720whp on twin turbo's?? thats crazy...I always thought to make that power you were already on huge t-88 single turbo upgrade prolly on a 3 rotor motor already...anyways sounds like a beast!!

So much mis-info/BS in this thread I personally think it should be locked. I have to refrain from even saying anything else....

[D Money]

lol..if you have info on rx7's please tell us...I really dont know much about them..just two friends with them...just those cars are so complicated and when people talk about them its like a different language!

Bah, 26Bs are for pussies!

[US_R33]

you def. don't need a 3 rotor in order to make that kind of power out of a rotary lol......and most RX-7s don't run V-mounts.....not sure where that one came from

That's true, but If you run a front mount with a v-mounted radiator it works well too. I see consistent 85-90?C coolant temps in my car. With the biggest front mount apexi makes.

that works also

ok so them im not wrong then right?? I always though rx7's had problems with front mounts...anyways I drive a subaru so if i dont know everything about rx7's then its ok!

no, not 100% wrong if talkng about a road course. Depending on what application you use your car, the type of IC can be a factor. when pushing the car hard for a total of under 12 seconds or driving it on a street a FIMC is not bad, and IMO a better choice than a SMIC. Road race on the other hand, cooling the engine that is being pushed is where you would shy away from one.
Having a radiator mounted on an "angle" doesnt equate to have a "V- mounted radiator" either. This is due to having a radiator large enough to do the job and not enough room under the hood to mount it.
I know a little about rotary engines as I manufacture many parts for them and have these parts on cars running as low as 7 et's and high MPH traps. ( http://www.kgparts.com/Times.htm )
