Yes, I know it's a 3-rotor (thread title?). And I don't believe they've said 800+ as a fact, only on 'feel'. My question was what do they expect to be the life expectancy of their engine, which hasn't been answered. Any engine is fine when it's working in its present state.

Ok the engine was internals modified , extra dowel pin was added to avoid engine twisting(That's cause side housing breakage ), porting works intake and exhaust, strong apex seal kirbee max , racing bearing. with all this mods i spec it last like the stock one with the apropiate maintenace and with a good Ecu maps , oil changes ect. this engine with this mods is not dynoed yet. as soon we get it to the dyno we post the results.

Thanks
Rgonza

Hello, RotorManiac the sticker is only one that's come with K&N Intake kit.

Now i did boosted the car up to 12 psi of boost and 9600 Rpm the car runs great with more usable RPM power band thats means contant G's all the way to 10,000 RPM. Today i was in the streets testing the car, in a crossing light a guy in a Suzuki motorcycle invite me to race from one light to the next one as soon the light change to green i leave the guy about two cars lenght behind me up to the next light, the motorcycle guy say to me what hell you got there man!! this **** is very fast. i was enjoy to see his face expression a lot!!

Yesterday, I took a ride on Manuel's car and the power is amazing. The car has so much power that even in second gear the car moves slightly from side to side. The installation is a piece of art, the 20B fits perfect, congratulations to RGonza and Manuel for this project. Manuel remember the invitation for el Tuque, tell also RGonZa, the next track day will be on Saturday May 6. If you need additonal details please let me know.

The motor is not from an RX-7 it is from a Cosmo. No production run of RX-7s ever had a 3 rotor.

This is a bit off the topic, but I just read that Puerto Rican schools, government offices are being closed?!

"SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- The government of Puerto Rico ran out of money Monday, forcing the U.S. commonwealth to close public schools and shut down government offices, putting almost 100,000 people out of work."

What is happening with Puerto Rico??
