Meh... I'm predicting around 380 to the wheel but haven't dynod it yet. I haven't ran the nitrous yet, but I have a 150 shot set up, should have me well over 500 for sure. The car is so much fun without the squeeze I just haven't got around to it yet. That, and the fact that I can't find anyone locally who will fill my bottle.
Are you running an s4 engine? And I want to run the bottle too.
Nah bro I ended up LS swapping. Don't get me wrong, I've always been a rotary enthusiast, but my wallet couldn't take it anymore. Spent thousands on detonation precaution on my old S5TII engine, flew Steve Kan out, made about 20 pulls and number 21 "she just let go". His words. No lean spikes, no preignition, nothing in the data log, "she just let go".
Anyways, I did some thinking and decided that what was really my goal was having a fast fun car, rotary or not. LS was and still is the most logical thing to do in that aspect, IMO of course.
I suppose I've waited some time to get that off my chest.
Did you rebuild that used 13bt before you ambushed it with a big single?
No I didn't because I had over 100psi on each face.
and I know "30 year old car blah blah" but I was running on ~12psi for the last few thousand miles before the tune with zero problems. And 20 dyno pulls, no exaggeration, before she let go.

It's really hard to hear that especially as someone who wants to ditch EJs/Subaru and hope-fulling pursuing rotaries. From one unreliable motor to another I guess.

Rotary engines are awesome, but if you want big power, be prepared to spend big money. As far as reliability, 10 years ago I had a S4 NA with over 250k original miles, and sold it running.
i was reading this going man this is legit and then boom LS swap and i went ohhh no. Then well hell i bet its even faster and more fun now. I am on the fence. rotary giving me issues. I think if it blows again im gonna call it a day and throw a turbo V8 in.
