Like I said before, those are some OLD pics. The car runs, I've seen it run (idle not drive). I'll ask Charlie on the 2nd (our local meet) if he has any/if I can take some more pictures.

Hey, I kinda know Charlie ... friend of Gregg's, who always spoke very highly of Charlie's skillz. I'd love to see that car in person.
What's a number where I can get in touch with Charlie? Maybe I'll put it in the RX Tuner

That guy will be MUCH closer to 90 hp rather than 900 hp. I give him a gold star for trying something unusual... but I have a feeling his results will be pretty poor. I'll say... 250 rwhp max

hahaha, it's been dyno'd at something like 6-700... I might ask him about it if I run across him in the near future.
it's supposed to make it's 1st 1/4-mile trip sometime this season

I find it so funny that some are saying it doesn't look like a rotary. Yes it does. It doesn't even remotely resemble anything other than a rotary. Others are saying it can never hit very high boost with pump gas. Where'd the pump gas assumption come from? Methanol doesn't need an intercooler and this doesn't look like a street car to me. Rotaries can get 600-700 hp from forced induction without methanol so why can't his on methanol? It should be able to. That's the problem with this forum. Too many people are constantly crying bs about things they haven't ever seen based on their own assumptions and limited knowledge of the subject. Superchargers are better than many people here give them credit for. Whether or not a turbo is better is irrelevant. It's also funny how people criticize the install in the pictures for not being complete and then stating that it must not run. I've taken many pictures of projects in various states of completion. To state it must not work because it isn't complete in the pictures is pretty ignorant. Give it a rest guys. Grant William's RX-7 in Australia ran high 8's on a streetport, and a Weber carb in a nonintercooled draw through style setup. This car has potential.

Why does somebody have to bring this thread from the dead, just to POINT OUT something that has been pointed out more than twice already?.....A YEAR AGO!
BTW - Everything is posible, Rafelito was once the fastest rotary in the world with a 7.7 by using a weeber + turbo + NOS combination; however there are better ways of doing things; like EFI, from 7.7 rafaelito went straight to 7.4

4-port 13Bs have the same front cover as 12As.
GSL-SE engines have a different front cover, since the OMP is different and has a different mounting flange.
And then of course the S4 / S5 / FD front covers are all different...
