As the 13B 2 rotor fitted to the RX7 of the day was 654cc x 2 rotors = 1308cc, 146bhp@6500rpm , 187Nm(138lbft)@3500, one would speculate that the 13G with 654cc x 3 rotors would make 220bhp/280Nm(207lbft) at the same RPM, however this is only an estimate."

Notice the familiar-looking BAC valve.

Do you have any other links to the pictures? Those don't seem to work for me. I heard someone down under just bought an original 13G from Japan. Pretty bad ***. Here is the only link I have for info on the 13G motor: http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/pg19.htm

i have a 90 GTUs has 78,068 miles on it today. the paint on it is shitty and there are a few dents so its no perfect...yet. it also needs a rebuild, but it runs and what more could you ask for! (at the cost of 2 gallons of antifreeze a week)
