Building up Rotary Engine
 

coming from a nissan/inline-4 type,
i really don't know much about the rotary,
i was wondering if i want to hit the 600 hp mark
what type of engine build up do i have to do?
is there such thing as "forged pistons" for rotarys?
tell me the list, i know about computer managments and everything
just i need to know about the "BLOCK"

Sorry, No forged anything in the rotary world. All the internal stuff is stock , pretty much. You can have rotors lightened, but that won't give you any more HP. Only lets you accelorate a little faster and rev a little hogher. for 600 hp all I can say is a T88 turbo on a bridge port will do that for you easily. Peace.

is this for any rotary? because i'm planing get a turbo2 engine or a 13b-rew

I would go with a 13b-REW personally because I am pretty sure you can get 600hp out of it, and I'm not sure if you can do that out of a older TII motor, but you might be able to. I think you will need a bridgeport and a huge turbo. My suggestions, if you hear a term you don't know, do a search for it on the forum to find out more and then ask question, and if you are serious about 600hp, spend a little time in the single turbo section as alot of the higher HP guys go in there more often. And the closest thing to a "block" in the rotary world is the "housings", and the "rotors" are sort of like the "pistons" and of course a rotary doesn't have most of the stuff a normal piston engine has inside...

Mike-
Is there a City College offering a class on rotaries???..I thought the only place that did was thru Mazda. They sent their techs to rotary schools to learn how to work on this cars/motors. Let me know where so i can take it with you!:D

i'm in san francisco dood,
but there is this class where it teaches you about your car,
this guy i know went to city college when he bought his t2 and he took his car to them and they taught him everything about it or something like that, and now his shit is fast and i'm not kidding it's about 450hp, i think
