Question How does a Rotary stand up to..

I ask this question in the fear that I may sound like a "Fast and Furious" dweeb but, how does a Rotary stand up to Nitrous Oxide?

What is the biggest "shot" that a rotary can handle? What work should be done to make sure it doesn't hurt the engine, if any?

Thank you much.

go turbo... rotaries love turbo... squeezing NOS is an option, but not advisable, because hp is only for a limited amount... then you'll have to refill... but I've heard rx-7 owners squeezing 100 shot wet nos... don't do it unless you know what your doing

The rotary will take a surprising amount of nitrous if done properly. Many people just simply install a system and then crank up the juice but don't worry about tuning. You'll blow up any engine at this point with this method. I wouldn't just slap on couple of jets and spray to your hearts content. If you decided to use a staged or progressive controller you could get some pretty sizeable shots to work. Make sure you get a good fuel system upgrade and find a way to tune the engine. Preferrably with a standalone ecu. Timing control is just as important as fuel. I wouldn't see why you couldn't get away with 150 shot if you did it right. Scathcart had somewhere around a 200 shot dual stage setup on a T-II. PM him about setting up a system properly.

I know of bridge ported racing engines using 375 hp shot of nitrous while reving more than 10000RPM.
