I never said stronger rotors, I might've have said (or meant) stronger rotary (engine). Certain parts need to be "stronger" to do this. As for the rotors, I don't want to use the SE3P rotors for what I'm doing, as I had pointed out earlier.

I'm not thinking clearly

I am doing the FD internals so I can lower compression ... similar to an FE3P but the housing of the engine is still an SE3P..which requires the works, including the rotors. I'm not sure if the FD rotors are lighter ... but they are the same size .. I think the SE3Pones are different.

don't worry , you're like me we both have these hardcore rotary experts; trust me, there are so many things he tells me and I must look like a deer in headlights to him.

but, FE3P is the rX7 engine and the SE3P is the Renesis.

When i had made my request for something in the range of 350+whp (not 300 whp ) he said there has to be things that I need to do to make the engine reliable. He said engine swap -- then I replied with a 'no'. Then the next best thing is to have the internals to be like an RX7 .. so I agreed it would probably be a safer bet (in terms of money) for that to happen.

Right now, my guy is putting the parts needed to do this; apparently the main person doing the engine work is someone famous -- Tadatoshi Wakita (http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2002.../t_wakita.html) so he' knows how to make a car go really fast -- and at the same time, he knows what customers need, in terms of something still driveable for daily.

don't worry, if your guy has worked on drift cars or drag cars, then they'll go through the same methodical steps to achieve a safe, high HP yield .. just need to make sure you have money
