And, that alot of race events wont let a rotary compete with piston engines. AND the fact that a 13b with say 5 - 600 hp is only a low 14 - 18000 mile engine... especially in the case of competative racing! i love the rotary dont get me wrong, its small easy to work on and capable of big numbers. i love it. but the 2jz is no joke man!and thus i explain myself

i also threw around the idea of a 1jz, 302, ls1, rb25, f20, and even a ka24.... why? because i have the time and i just simply can! but i landed on a 13b s5 or a 20b. and chose the not as costly, 13b s5.
You obviously haven't been to Puerto Rico...

The 2jz trans gear is all wrong.
The only engine/trans other than a rotary that will work is the ls1. It has a .5OD gear compared to the 2jz .8OD gear

The guy who taught me to tune blow through is from Puerto Rico. His rotarys will make more HP for less money and last longer than any piston engine.
