That is a lot of hp for a rotary. I have first hand seen what it takes to make 1000 hp on a 440 cubic inch engine, and it isn't easy. I know 850hp is a lot lower than 1000 but the engine is a heck of a lot smaller as well.

Well my plans for this engine is going to be going into a drift/street fc rx7. now I am thinking about going pp or jport or a bridgport, I still have next week to make up my mind on that. I do know it a lot of work but I have some good resources to make this happen.

You definitely don't need a wild setup for either of those. Street port and BNR hybrid turbo will do you just fine, about 300 hp. A P-Port or crazy bridge port will be a bitch on the street (2000 rpm idle and 4mpg FTL). Then again, a n/a P-port would be kind of cool in a drift car.

If you want to make 850HP with any sense of reliability for street use, then a 20B is your only reasonable option. You will spend far less money then if you had used a 13B when you consider all of the 13Bs and turbos you will blow trying to figure it out.

must be not. 850hp is definitely not a street car even if it is able to be street driven. i sat in a professional drag camaro one time while it was idling and that was AWESOME. 850hp should be left to the track.

I would have to agree i have been competitively drifting and auto-x my RX-7 sport na and while i do stand on the pedal its totally do-able with minimal hp, i am currently workin on a 6 port turbo, my point is you dont need massive hp to have a drift setup if im happy with 160 na youll be fine with 250-300hp turbo you dont need 850hp for your goal...

Let me show you what an 850hp car is. This is my uncles fox body it makes 850whp on spray it runs a 9.30 on this setup in the 1/4mi. Recently added another 100shot the car runs a 8.9 on the 3 speed trany.

If your thinking about building a 50,000$ car like this without the proper safety equipment required your an idiot.
