The most available from an n/a twin rotor is around the 370hp mark.

Most I've seen with proof (dyno video) was 350ps (about 348rwhp) with an NA P-port 13B-REW with EFi etc, etc. I'm sure more is possible though. With turbo, the most I've seen on video is 710rwhp ala the Scoot T51R FD and who knows what else. Again, I'm sure there has been people who have surpassed that.

the highest hp rotary I have ever seen was somewhere in the 2300 hp range. Its a 4 rotor periphial port twin turbo. I think they were t87s or something.

3rotor.com is working on something similar.

RX-7.com's drag racer pushes in excess of 750 hp, if I'm not mistaken.

Heres the link to the 680 HP (now 726) engine: http://www.rotaryshack.com/pages/680.html

And heres a link to the dyno video of the car on the dyno manking 726 HP: http://www.wankelracing.com/movies/Mexico726Pulls.WMV

The sound on the dyno video is messed up cause the car is so damn loud!! Notice everyone is wearing earplugs .

Little question for Robert(680rwhp12a). If SU carbs suck soooo much, and are nothing compared to webers, why would they put SU's on that 6rotor?

Instead of 900hp N/A 6 rotor, you can always stick with 4 rotor, THEY FIT IN JC COSMOS???? 2000hp twin T88s?

LoL, I was just trying to see what he would say. For some reason, in the thread I started about SU's, Robert seemed like the only one that didn't like them. Everyone else said they would be great, good street drivability, and very easy to tune and rebuild. Just trying to get a reaction out of him. It's easy to tell, first, the air filters on them are ITG, who makes that setup for early Z triple SU carbs. Also, it looks to me like that setup is from hurley rotary, an english company that sells dual SU setups for 2 rotors, and triple SU setups for 3 rotors. It looks like they just put on two of the 3 rotor setups.

Man that 6-rotor is insane, I'd like to know what they're putting it into. Where did you get the picture djmickyg?
Man that must get the worst gas mileage ever, but still I'd love to hear it.
