Im a newbie here and yes i have read all the **** for newbies to learn. All im looking for is info on where to find new engines. Im looking to get myself a FD3S in a month and ill have about 4k - 4.5k to spend on the engine. Im looking for a engine that is capable of handling over 400rwhp. Thank You (Ps. Im not a car newbie i had a Is300 that pushed over 365rwhp im just new to rotaries)

First of all, make sure you start with a Turbo II rather than a non-turbo RX-7. You will need the stronger Turbo II driveline for that kind of power. You can get one with a blown engine for about $500.

Secondly, you will not be able to buy a quality 400rwhp crate engine, turbo system, and intercooler for only 4k - 4.5k. You will need to build it yourself with a limited budget like that, which may not be possible since you are new to rotary engines. Also, you would need to upgrade the fuel system, clutch, and cooling system. You may want to consider a V8 swap or a different project car.
