350 whp is plenty to have fun with.
400-450 just feels plain nice
anything above that i wouldn't run on pump gas, at least not in a daily driver on california 91 octane.

i've gotten way too used to 400 and 500 hp cars feels slow to me now which is why i have a turbo v8 in a little fb. i don't blame someone for wanting 800hp... but i wouldn't be dumping all my funds in to a 2 rotor. just step up to the 20b and it will be cake.

BTW, something tells me that an 800 h.p. 3 rotor and an 800 h.p. 2 rotor will cost about the same, but the 3 rotor will make the power easier, also be far more reliable, and last longer, too.

nonsense. there aren't that many things that can go wrong... oil failure, pre-ignition, or detonation.
oil failure tears up the bearings, e-shaft, and sometimes irons.
pre-ignition takes care of apex seals and sometimes cracks the irons at the dowel pins
detonation does the apex seals, and can crack the irons at really high hp levels.

how to build a 800hp 13B??
This thread has a lot of Drama. You should just learn like the rest of us. You have to blow them to hell sometimes to figure what went wrong.To learn to build 800 hp motors not just rotarys, You have to know more than asking Stupid Questions Like the one here.

well ill tell you this. I work in a sandrail shop and we got in an ls2 with a whipple blower. The thing did 840 crank hp. That was just an out of control machine, instant boost and shitloads of torque. The thing had me shittin bricks, its good I was only a passanger on that one, I would have killed myself.
That engine was nearly $30k

At least with the "piston" motors I work on, you can generally find out the given limit of parts of the rotating assembly, and the block, to either torque or rpms... and the valve train generally has its own limits to handling higher rpms and/or crazy ramp rates, etc.
So yeah, if I know at what rpms the rod bolts give out, or what torque or rpm level the rods themselves will give out, and whatnot, it helps me decide what I need to replace depending on what kind of build Im doing.
Now, what you're talking about amounts to oil starvation (which can kill any motor...) and preignition. Im talking about the limits of individual PARTS.
Yanno, such as the stock stationary gear doesnt like to go past 8,000 rpms that much, the e-shaft after a given rpm range, etc, etc... right? Same for oiling mods and clearancing parts for higher rpm use.
But what I was asking for is when does a given part in a rotary actually fail from too much torque/power? It seems to be that the only real failure items (unless you knock like a dingbat) is... the seals, and granted you dont detonate they'll last, albeit with vastly increased wear if youre going crazy with the power.
See what I mean now?

i saw what you meant in the first place.
the rotor faces can collapse from detonation. apex seals and side seals break, etc...
if something goes wrong, you either detonated, had an oil problem, or spun it too fast. there's nothing special to the forensics of dead rotaries.

Forget it kids, all you have to do is, remove the rubber hose that connects to the wastegate, and floor the living hell out of it! oh yea dont forget to put the VTEC stickers. They add 150+ more hp's. See that was easy. And if anything happens to the motor. Park it on front of "Guitarjunkies" house.

Someone said earlier that the 13b e-shaft will start to chatter and could break at around 8.5k-9k or something like that. There's an RPM limit for you.
The rotors themselves are solid metal so it's gonna be tough to break those so that RPM limit is gonna be really high.
Basically the only things that go wrong on a rotary are things like the seals (the big weak point for high RPMs, as you noticed) and the little gasketts and other factors outside the internals of the engine. There's not much to do to them, you port the intake and exhaust, make sure the seals are strong enough for what you want to do, and go to town.

Every number is an arbitary number unless it has some relevance. So drumming up 800hp or 801hp has the same probability unless this person would like to know ROUGHLY what is intended to build an engine of that capability. Give it a break.

You've been terribly missinformed. They are not solid, they are hollow. until the last few years solid billet aluminum rotors did not exist.
