Benifits Of The Rotary???

[Speed1Rx7]

i just bought me 1990 Rx-7 GXL and i am very pleased with my purchase i was just wondering what are the biggest benifits of the rotary engine and can you add a turbo to non turbo engine if so does any one know where i can get a kit.

All you need to know is that it's one hell of an engine.

No real benefiets, other than it makes a lot of power for its size.

Adding a turbo to an N/A car CAN be done, but its expesnive and not very easy. I wouldn't recommend it. Just get used to the 7's awesome handling capabilities for now. When you decide you need (want ) more power, then you can consider buying a turbo II or doing a turbo II swap.

Next week im going to a machine shop where they are going to help me put a SC from a 3.8l thunderbird on my 91 NA, the sc will cost me under $100 and I dont know how much the machine shop will charge for the brackets and pulleys. This is probably a better option financially for any non turbo, so when I get it all done I will post the dimensions of the brackets and pulleys so that if anyone else wants to do it it'll be a little easier.

Yeah, make sure you have enough fuel going into the engine when you force air down its throat. otherwise, POP!

[DevoutWankelist]

Yeah, I plan on getting an fcd and the T2 injectors too, think that will be sufficient?

mmm... maybe. As long as it doesnt boost over 7 pounds, i think you'll be ok. And with n/a rotors, you wouldnt want to boost any higher.
