The rims in post 7 are the summit racing rims you posted a link to, i ground down about 1/4-3/8" off each spoke on the inside as the wheels are full cast. The problem is they started flexing on the big end of the track and rubbing on the caliper. Thats why i went with the welds, as far as the spares i would think they would be good to use for strip only but i dont know for sure. The only down side is when i looked at them they were either 14's or 16's. I dont know how fast your car is but i know mine at 150MPH losing a wheel wouldnt be a good idea...

It's not hard to make a v8 trap 150mph. If you can do that with a rotary then I would be impressed. I don't know what I trap, I prefer street fun but whatever 500hp would get me and really that was on the old setup with a 70mm turbo the new turbo is a much better borg warner s472 which should be able to net me that with 17psi and I plan on running 20-25psi on pump gas and water injection... Take that for what you will, I don't really care about pulling my nuts out and dangling them on the internet so we can keyboard race our cars. I was merely giving my opinion on an open forum, you don't like people putting in their two cents or in this case thumbs down then the interweb may not be the place for you...

yeah right, I talk to those guys from pr and from south and central florida all the time, and while they do it if it where easy people from all over the united states would be doing it like the big v8's but that's just not the case. With big displacement motors hp just jumps out at you with every little upgrade and to some this is a great thing and that's fine with me, I just don't have respect for them the way I have respect for people that push their 1.3L motors down the track at 8, 7, and 6 seconds. That's awesome you got your big nasty v8 to go down the 1/4 in 9 seconds using who knows what to get you there. But to me this little bumble bee is a real 9 second all motor first gen rx7

I know you can post whatever you want. as well as i can post that i think your disrespectful and ignorant. you don't have a car that traps that high so you have no idea what it takes. any car that traps 150 takes a lot of time and money, v8 or not. go to the drag strip and look at how many v8's trap 150, not very many 1 out of 50? the only one keyboard racing is you because I don't see a link to your youtube dyno video yet

I'm not mad at all, I'm just calling you out and you know how it goes, if you can't provide it, it didn't happen. Did you even dyno your car or were you estimating? Surely you saved your dyno printout didn't you?

I got my car dyno'd when I had it tuned by kilo down in florida. Didn't get a print out but then again I'm not messed up about it cause I'm not the bragging type and know what I had. This is my old setup with a smaller turbo (t70) and log manifold pushing 20-21psi. on pump fuel and water injection. I've posted my setup way too many times, lol but I've got something new in the works so I'll post it as soon as it's up and running. Way more mean than this one 
If I can't make 500 off of this setup I should just pack up and go home...

Lol yes I've been to Orlando, Miami, Tampa, and Dallas to tune the car through the many different engine setups I've had through the years and I've never dyno'd it, lol. Ok buddy you just go on with your bad self

Nice Numbers, im embarased to throw up dyno sheets of may car... Makes more power on bottle jet then the motor does alone. For me though its all how the car performs so i could care less about dyno numbers, I wouldnt have dynod the car but i wanted to trouble shoot the nitrous system and thats a little hard to do while driving lol

Why go v8? you made just above 500 with a 76mm turbo, I did that with a 70mm turbo. I'll keep my rotary and you can have the v8. Nice numbers but again it's not hard to make big power with a v8 which I've already said before some people like, I'm just not of that school of thought.

drive a 500whp v8 and drive a 500whp rotary, you won't go back. I've driven both. look at the v8 torque at 4500 in the above post vs rotary torque at 4500. torque is the single most important thing to a "fun" street car

Thats where we differ. I like my high winding bridge port and with my t70 I got full spool by about 4k rpm. I spun the tires in 1st through 4th gear on sticky bridgestone potenzas. I've driven in my fair share of high horse power v8's and I just don't get the same feeling as driving in a high horse power big turbo rotary. I'm no kid I've been around for a little while
