Over 1000 in a drag situation.
About 250 in what most people would consider the limit of streetable.
You're going to need to provide a bit more info on what you want to do to get a better answer.

Its an ambitious goal. 300whp on an NA motor is going to be extremely expensive,extremely loud and not very street-able. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of anyone hitting more than 230-250 hp NA on a rotary engine without spending a tonload of money and sacrificing everyday driveability.

Nitrous. Though I guess that's not "all motor" and some people don't consider nitrous breathing to be NA.
But full peripheral port, nitrous, alcohol and you can get 1000HP out of a 13B for a few drag runs.
Possible, yes. For a full peripheral port engine, 300HP is easily achievable. It will not, however, be considered what most would say is "streetable". Primarily due to exhaust volume. It will be stupidly, incredibly loud.
You want 300HP an something you don't need ear plugs for and won't get 5MPG? Then turbocharge it and have a reliable 300HP all day long.

The Renesis makes nearly that power stock. It's a 13B by dimensions. It's pretty easy to get more than 250HP out of an NA 13B with a big set of bridgeports, and peripheral ports will take it 100 - 150HP higher. Of course you better drive with earplugs...

I don't know where you have been, but the guy who built them was in your neck of the woods for decades. Unfortunately, he passed away suddenly in 2010. One of his engines was on display at DGRR last year.

NA = Normally Aspirated or Naturally Aspirated, depending on which term the engine manufacturer prefers.
N2O is an oxidizer. It is not forced induction because it does not increase the manifold pressure.
Also, a turbocharger is a type of supercharger, more properly called a turbosupercharger.

street ported side ports, semi peripheral ports staged with independent throttles, 9.7:1 lightened and balanced rotating assembly, 2-pc eccentric shaft with center bearing, increased oil pressure, ceramic apex seals, rev it to 10-12k rpm.
300whp NA streetable and durable.

The bottom line is you aren't going to get a 1000 hp out of a normally aspirated 13b, period.

Haha, I knew my comment would start this discussion!
Except, the engine naturally aspirates the nitrous/air/fuel mixture. Whereas with forced induction, the manifold pressure is raised past atmospheric to "force" more air/fuel into the engine when it aspirates.
As Evil Aviator said, "supercharger" refers to any device which crams air into the engine. A "turbosupercharger" is one driven by a turbine, powered by exhaust gasses (well, it could be powered by other things as well...like a honking huge tank of CO2).
It's just that in the automotive world, people use the term "supercharger" or "blower" (even though "blower" refers specifically to a roots style supercharger) to describe "supercharger" while they use the term "turbo" or "turbocharger" to refer to a "turbosupercharger".
A supercharger is generally belt driven whereas turbo charging systems are exhaust gas driven and both aren't naturally aspirated.

We know what the OP was asking and ~300 hp is about all you are going to get out of an N/A 13b and the last 20 or so hp doesn't come cheap.

Whether or not nitrous is allowed in a race class is based on competitive or safety rules. I raced in an NA class that didn't allow fender flares, but that doesn't mean that fender flares are forced induction.
The OP did specify "all motor", which typically means no nitrous.
After subtracting the internal capacity lost to all the unburned oil, ATF, and fuel from leaky injectors, there is only about 0.5L left inside the engine, lol.

Well how about J-bridge port is that too much for street use ? Is it still too loud ? And how's the MPG on it ? What I mean about street use is using the car just in the summer time,running it around for 40 miles a day and taking it to the track maybe once a week..

It will act worse than a bridgeport with a high lopey idle and in order to make any sort of power, it will be stupid loud. It will be far worse than a peripheral port for the same amount of pain in the *** factor.
You'll get about 8 - 10 MPG on a J-bridge around town.
Porting
For the same amount of effort, swap in a 13B-T, perform basic upgrades, and have 300HP all day long.
At 40 miles a day, assuming city driving, you'd be filling up the tank of a j-bridge every 3 days.

The best choice if you want power and a near streetable NA 13B is aiming to RPM
Then follow precedent tips: half bridgeport (more became LESS streetable), lightweight rotors (you can "easily" machine rotor to a lighter state then most of the aftermarket lightweight assembly, 2 piece E-Shaft with bearing, go with sohn all the way, new fuel rail+ injectors and new ECU....
BTW just buy a 13B-REW or a Turbo kit...less work if you only want 300HP no matter what

Forced induction means that it produces a significant amount of boost, which the NA S5 does not. Nice try though. FYI, the other 13B DEI (Dynamic Effect Intake) engines use a similar effect, as do many other automotive engines that incorporate a Helmholtz resonator or similar inlet effect.
