Sounds like a troll, but I'll bite.

If you're not familiar with the rotary engine I suggest you do a whole lot of research before you even consider buying it. Especially if you're thinking of buying one with a turbo already installed. There's many things to take into account with that kind of purchase.

That being said, there are many threads on this forum dedicated to taking care of rotary engines so do some searches and increase your knowledge. Then make an informed decision.

How is it tuned? and by whom?

Turbo needs some pretty specialized tuning to be 'reliable'.

Change oil every 3K. Check oil every 2 to 3 fill-ups and add oil as necessary.


This has to be a troll.
