by the way, I just started that site (rotarytuner.com) and it would be cool if you could join up. im trying to get it off the ground, since its a one of a kind "rotary-in-general" website/forum, like RX2, RX3, Cosmo, etc.

i have nothing against the powerfc (I like mine), but i have heard some stories about how the fc is only safe up to about 450 hp

geeze...so much misinformation in this thread.
turbo good up to 600hp...on a piston motor
PFC good up to 450...that's why there are many on this board with 500+
500+ with 1300cc secondaries??
best of luck with number reaching

1) im getting bigger injectors, like i posted
2) the PFC (in my experiences) has not been that great (even with my 420 WHP setup)
3) the turbo will run well within its efficiency range with my setup

I clicked your link, but can't access the pics b/c I'm not a member of that site.
Also, can you provide details on your turbo? The Garrett website doesn't list a 3040R.

thats a pretty broad claim made by the turbo manufacturer.
do a little research. i dont see that turbo making 500whp on a rotary without working very very hard.
edit: i'm assuming you're talking about a gt3540...
