How much power can you squeeze out of a n/a 13b?
What's the max power can i squeeze out of a n/a 13b rotary? It will be a while until i can perform a full turbo swap so i want to see what i can work with for the time being. Man it's hard being a college student.....

You don't even have to search, just scroll down. This topic comes up almost every day.
Short answer: Not more than you have now, without spending thousands of dollars.
Things to look in to:
Porting
Removing emissions / Rats nest removal
V8 or 20B swaps (which are a lot of work)
Intakes (and how they don't help much)
Exhaust systems (and how they can screw up your AUX ports)
Ignition systems (and how they don't help much)
Individual Throttle Bodies (and how they don't help much)
VDI swap on to a S4 (which is a pain the ***)
Lightened rotating assemblies (and how they don't help much)
High compression rotors (and how they don't help much)

But be warned, even .001 over that and any 13b will open up a black hole right in your engine bay and 437 horses will pop out. I have seen it twice. You were warned.

If you want a 350HP 13B NA, you can make one. It will be peripheral port, loud as hell, and make peak power somewhere around 11,000 RPM. More power is possible with nitrous (though some argue that this is not NA).

With a fresh rebuild and a street port on an s5 motor, you can get 160-170 hp. With a standalone you can bump those figures up to about 180-190 with 200 being about the absolute peak. With a bridgeport you can get more like 250-260 but it won't be very streetable, and as Aaron mentioned you can get very high numbers with a p-port, but it really won't be driveable on the street, if for nothing else than the sheer loudness. Don't get me wrong, you can drive a p-port on the street, just not one with that much power.

Street ports are for the street, hence their name. A good set of headers, resonator and catback and a homemade cold air intake will make a world of difference.
Turbocharging is an entirely different animal.
