that manifold doesn't really seem like the best choice for that setup.

I would do at least an RPM airgap

If not a victor junior or Dart single plane

Not a chance. The only thing your rotary has over a piston engine is uniqueness.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone ever put a Hayabusa V8 hybrid motor in an RX7?

One of those?

My rotary dynoed 326rwhp with a street port, 99' spec turbos, all the bolt-ons, and 15psi. A stock LS1 will make that with just a tune.

I want that car. And surprisingly cheap for only 11k. The build alone would have cost more.

I've been through 1 N/A, and 2 tIIs, and personally I can't wait to fire up the beast again, this time, with double the torque.

but... if I had the money, I'd buy that car in a second. Very sexy.

+1 very true i'm still building my Lt1 FC, Lt1 cause i wanted to be a bit more budget, sorry if this is hijacking your thread
