I know.

In theory, even with the EXTREME amount of heat that a PP rotary puts out at high revs (9k+), that much nitrous should be enough to put frost on the engine. And how cool would that be? (pun kinda sorta intended.)

Um, 3 rotors don't like to spin past 8K, with your shorter one maybe 8.5-9K..


The problem is the bearings that hold the eshaft suck and allow flex. (from what i read)


SO a PP 4rotor may not be a good option, cause you will need to rev it to 9-11K to make good power.


Not real sure about the bearing placement..

Torque? in a rotary? HAHAHAHAH!!! j/k.




And in all seriousness, I'm banking on that it's not enough. After the nitrous, I'd be lucky to have 1300hp, and 700tq.


But there's no such thing as luck. It's all about preparation meeting timing, and breaking down opportunity's door.

i seriously doubt it will ever happen. You may plan a motor, but I doubt you will ever have one that runs ...

Here what? Why the **** are you showing me NOS for sale? Did I ever once say they dont sell NOS or they dont sell jets for a 500 shot? NO

I meant you will never spray a 500 shot cuz if you do all you will hear is BOOM!

Rear end will be a ford 9", 1.95:1 final gear ratio.


Steering... while as bastardizing as it may be.... will likely be a Mustang II rack and pinion. If not, then it will be a slowed down version of the stock manual steering setup (sharp turning @ 200+mph = bye bye.).

I've said it before... the engine will be built to take it. Why are you not understanding this conept?

TII housings have smaller coolant passages and MIGHT withstand the NOS better, allowing the gaskets to fail in the event of uncontrolled detonation. The alternative is... messy.

actually 500 shot of nos on a 4 rotor is entirely possible from the standpoint of the seals.... now, how the e-shaft will take to it may be a different story. There is a couple people on the board with a 13B running more than 250 shot, on turbo-charged cars, an N/A would have less issues with a shot that big. FWIW
