Why is it that whenever these guys make a list they seem so smart and then I read the words "MegaSquirt" at the bottom of their posts and I get really sad.
Not to knock it for homebrew projects, but man, if I were building a 500+ hp car I would use a real EMS.

Now don't get me wrong more sure some of the high end provide more options (drive by wire, more injector capability, ...)but for a 500ish hp figure the megasquirt has all the capabilities to do such that.
On that note - Craiger - the MS2 is now capable of handling the rotary. Aaron just finished fixing a couple mistakes I did with the second timer in there and bench tested it as fully working.

I would call that a plus but not the main reason to do a RE or REW...... I think the biggest gain to me would be the strength in the dowel castings of the RE/REW vs the bt...

The Pineapple kit has their own "heavy duty" water seals. Do a search and decide for yourself if you want to use them. FYI, Mazda has a decent price on the gasket set, you can probably reuse your side seals and oil o-ring carriers, as well as most of the springs. Then get a set of apex seals and you're ready to build...

I'll swear by the super seals. Mine took a 20psi boost spike with audible detonation like a champ, and Bruce Turrentine (who helped develop them) built my motor. Any hard seal though is not going to be good for the life of the rotor housings though, at least compared to OEM.

to get those kind of numbers and make it reliable is a very sketchy thing.
in any application when pushing the limits set up and consistency are the main factors that make up reliability. in short, even a semi dirty fuel filter can cause your engine to fly out the window, keeping your fuel setup completely consistent for any real amount of time is a real accomplishment and why a good quality ECU like a Motec is what most people will aim for, unless you are a tuner and always watching your guages that is.
