You want to bet? There are friends(Many) with Porsches 996 Twin Turbos( chipped ECU'S and K24 hybrid Turbos-Street cars) that will leave that three rotor rx8 eating dust !!!!!! They will put those 750hp not at the crank but at the wheel !!!!! There is even one of them that just dusted a Twin Turbo Viper(1000hp) and I'm talking about street cars !!! What makes you think that those cars cant be modded just like your RX8? and the good thing is that they will last years of heavy driving without breaking apart !!!

The cost of those cars is not on par with that of the 3 rotor he is building. Dollar for dollar, you can't come close to matching it.

Comparing to other cars is a losing argument regardless of which side you take. Why? There is ALWAYS a faster car out there somewhere. Get used to it. Here's another hard to accept fact. It's relatively easy to make almost any car on the planet fast. It's an eye opening experience the first time you see a quiet, rusted out mid 80's Dodge Van unload a half a dozen kids, line up at the strip and then see it blast a low 11 second quarter mile blowing away a Corvette. It's happened! Dollar for dollar, he had less into it. That too is a poor excuse as not everyone out there cares about what you need to spend to go fast. The most important thing is that you have the car you want, setup the way you want it. It doesn't matter how much it costs, how much you could have had another car for, or if anything else out there is faster than it. I have more respect for the person who is happy with what they have than I do with the person who has something to prove. That person will never get any respect from me.

rx8wannahave,

If you have plans to make a 3 rotor there is not big difference on $$$ from NA to FI........
or you can maked NA and in the future goes FI.
If you likes NA engines you can make a 350hp 3 rotor without problem.

Robert is the guy that can make you a 3 rotor you need to contact him.
If he decides to make another 3 rotor I'm goin to help him finding all the parts
and anything he needs from me.

I'm goin to see Robert today if everything goes like we think my car would be on the street
this thursday!

Manuel

350-400HP is all I would want, but do you lose your safety features on a 20B conversation? What type of stuff should I know about or what would change if I made such a move?

Like AC, Air bags, ABS, etc?

I love what you all have done with your MONSTER 20B...but my goal would be to keep it as livable as possible while gaining alot more power.

Thanks!

Ha ha, I don't have DCS so I don't care about that...Cruise control would be missed but 350-400HP makes that not matter at all.

You got it wrong!!!!! I'm not talking about modded RX7"S cars here. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR RX8 PROJECT MAKING 3 ROTOR ROTARY ENGINES" You generalized that this car was faster that all the German,Italian supercars and THAT IS NOT TRUE. Of course there are a lot of rotary engine cars that are superfast, no one is saying the contrary. Just you saying that this 3 ROTOR ENGINE CAR is faster than anything else.

I am not going to continue to debate this. This is your thread about your project.
Good Luck and be safe.

rx8ultra,

you're who is showing inmatureness...............you can't insult
all the puertorricans without any reason.

Robert knows a lot about mechanic and electronics and offer a lot
of input to other members of this forum thru a lot of PM..............

He owns a fast car and the true is that he have no losses......................
If some day he loss he would work hard on his car to make it faster.

His cars are very serious, you can check this thread and see the pictures
of his other car a 1,400+ hp shelby cobra built by himself.

Manuel

Hey, what does a 3-rotor sound like anyhow? Any sound clips?

By the way, how much HP did the 20B make in NA form? Is 400HP from a 20B NA possible?

Anyway, I hope direct fuel injection and a wider (15B) rotor change the world of the Rotary one day.

Manuel...ignore my foolish newbie dreaming.
Looks like I spoke too soon. Why stop at a 3 rotor, when you can have Puerto Rican levels of power from a N/A 4 or 6 rotor?

(Granted it's not based on a renesis, but...24 mpg from a 3-rotor? How is the renesis an improvement again??)

I'm not going to keep fighting about cars because it is not worth it. We are all car enthusiasts and we dont need to be doing this. You have a very fast car and apparently you know your stuff.
Congratulations and God bless.

you insulted everyone!!! and we are car enthusiasts and YOU do not be doing this!!!!!!!

I was working with Robert yesterday nigth trying to figure out the innovate FAR.........

Basically the only part that he need to work a little more to finish it, is the base for the air conditioning compressor...................

After that we're waiting for a base mount for the eboost2 from turbosmart and the car would be on the streets!

Nice find...I emailed them and asked them a few questions. Maybe I'm still dreaming but what the heck...all I have is time on my hands before I start modding.
