4WD, rock crawling, 13b turbo

Yeah it's cool but take a close look at the intake right infront of the throttlebody. They state that it is a 13b turbo but I've never seen a filter infront of the throttlebody on a turbo motor also where's the turbo. Cracked me up when I saw it in the magazine the other day. Also has a Cadillac grill on it. Thing is still badass.

Rotary mills have been providing high-performance reliability on the racetrack for years. They provide a high horsepower-to-weight ratio, can be tuned for lightening fast throttle response, and when appropriately built, will spin to higher RPM than any piston engine. As less weight and more ponies are always a priority, the high power-to-weight ratio of using a rotary beckoned consideration. It was only a matter of time before one ended up in a competition rock buggy.

what about "will spin to a higher RPM than any piston engine"? HAHA, what about F1 engines?

Well, that first crawler isnt turbo at all. So Im guessing either they put the turbo on afterwards or its a heavily modified n/a.
And as for reving higher than any piston engines, remember those 1.8l motors that honda builds or built, that were found in integras and civics.. some have a redline of about 9-10k and the s2000 also have a high redline..

I'm plannin a Samurai Rotary swap. But I gotta get my 7 first. Afterwards I'm gonna put a REW into the FC and the NA from the FC into the Samurai. But I'm gonna supercharge the engine once it goes in. Then maybe I will finally get a little more fun outta that Sami.

Time to be the devils advocate 
The output shaft (where rpm is measured) spins at 3x the rotor speed. That way you get one revolution per ignition event, per rotor. So, a Rotary spinning at 9K is really just 3K rotor wise.

Somehow I don't think the fact that F1 engines go to 19k has any baring on what he's talking about.
Rotaries have an absolutely awsome record at racetracks.

soon. It is turbo charged now. The last one was supposed to be also but
the frame was designed around an NA engine first and then Jake bought
the turbo engine from me later.
The final drive ratio is 180 - 1. It goes to 10 psi of boost and you can be
walking beside it. It is an automatic with a torque converter lock out
solinoid installed. Jake can spool it up and then let the trans lock up
and start smoking all 4 tires!! It is really a mind bender!!
