I love the twin turbo rotary in my RX-7! 300 hp from 79 cubic inches.

Hey guys, long time no talk. Rob is not going to be using my water jacketed headers and stuff so it is officially a car engine now and not a boat engine. Which means it would only cost half the price not being marine.

It is back assembled and he is working on the intake and exhaust to have equal length runners ect. and 4 turbos.

I am building a bigger rotary engine then the 12 rotor right now that will be diesel. I will update on here when I put it in my boat and start testing it.
