Loud is an understatment, when you but the boost on the top end it gets 10 times louder atleast!
Also had a blower 13b on methonal only able to make 20lbs of boost at 18,000 blower rpms but it sounded bad and loped just like the big dogs!

Now i need to go turbo so i can actually go down the track!
From the looks of the headers its not run yet. And premix workes with nitro!

I always thought nitro didn't work well with rotaries because of how long it takes to burns and how much overlap ported rotaries have?

Im trying to figure out what fuel system i can use and afford i was useing the mechanical feed toliet bowl but i dont know how to get it to work with a turbo.

Intake and header is no problem fuel and tuning is my problem, and im putting a 6,000 stall in the auto and if it blows ill go with something else!
I guess money is the limiting factor!
Any ideas would be helpful!

Im glad the fd is running good still.

IIRC rons makes a boost sensing valve for their flying toilet. You could blow trough it. I think i have seen a pic of one on a rotary from PR.

Car looks really nice. What was the setup before? Looks like it was all motor/nitrous? And auto? Why do you want to race with an auto?

Years ago in a land far away some......friends talked me into building a blower car useing a 653 supercharger and after years of work and thinking it would work the outcome was less than i wanted.

The stall was 3500rpm and not close to were it should be.
It only made 20 lbs boost at 9,000 engine rpms and 18,000 blower rpms and the bearings didnt like that so they went to fla and left me.
It started good idled bad *** and would scare the hell out of you when you revved it to 9,000 but it was so slow off the line i only drove it to the portapot!

Im thinking 6500 stall, turbo and mechanical fuel injection, but im still looking!
