Why do RX-7's put out less....
I was looking at single turbo set ups for 3rd gens and it seems the same set ups running on rx-7's put out a lot less hp then the same turbo kit on a supra? Is it becaus the supra engine has cylinders? whats the reason. I know the rx-7 is a lot lighter so how much does it really matter?

Rotary engines make less power with the same amount of air and fuel because they lose more heat to the cooling system due to the combustion chamber shape (more surface for the volume than a piston engine).

We can get into a whole technical discussion on the technical aspects, but maxcooper hit most of them already.
Just look at the gas mileage these cars get!

Those Supras generally run quite a bit more boost than most 7's do.. I mean, I don't know how many Supras I have seen running 22-30 psi on huge turbos making insane power. HP is also calulated from the torque/rpm, and those inline 6 motors make torque like nobody's business.
