high 11's on just that for a supra
close you would still need to up the fuel a little bit
but you can do the same with a rotary

[B]alright guy sorry gotta step in here
yes early rotary motor sucked *** . those pesky 12a and 13b motors from 85 and early were horrible. there seals were known for breaking though if you took care of them they could last for about 150-200k miles now if you did not take care of them maint wise they could break within 50k. now lets go the the third gen. 92-95 . cause they are running about 10psi with only a 2 mil seal they will last ya around 100-120k miles. but when you start tweaking the boost as anyone else would( I am sure you guys with TTA do the same :-) and dont adjust fuel mix or go up to a 3 mil seal you can see breakage after a while. but still if you have the R1 package that is able to out turn a z06 vette and run 5.2 0-60 times stock who is complaining.
as for the 2nd gens if you are running an N/A motor I have seen them get in excess of 300k . have a friend right now getting 320k.
mine right now is pulling 165k autocrossed on a weekly basis, also I do a lot of street drags. I am able to run with a v6 camaro,rustang, and other little imports. not bad for a motor that is only 80ci about the same size a metro motor.
now dont get me wrong I like and respect your cars. one of my best friends owns a camaro and I even owned one. just dont let one car ruin your impression of them all.
just give them some respect for what they can do. heck your beloved GM was even thinking about putting out a 4 rotar vette :-)
hehe I forogot I already posted
oh well
oh yeah make this my 21post in the last few min

my friends cousin here on LI has an rx-7 with a mustang motor in it.... all i can say is that the car would fly if it had some wings on the sides... i hear it runs real close to 10's

Car: for now i have a 79 firebird that had a toasted 301 (imagine that!)
Engine: well i *had* a 301, but there is a pontiac 350 on the stand to get me on the road again and a 428 after that :D
Transmission: th350
one thing
the rotary engine has about 80 cubic inches right but has about 150 hp. i have ridden in an rx7, it has just as much ***** as my 79 firebird with a 301. now how many piston engines that display a measly 80 ci can pump out the power like that ? not many, an 80 cubic inch piston engine would be a laughing stock. the piston engine has had a few more years to evolve. but my point is this: 80 (ish) cubic inches:150 (ish) horsepower this is really close to 2 hp per ci from the factory, the only way you can get that from a piston engine is to modify it untill it's hardly streetable. sure a good 350, hell even a 305 could prolly whip one of these engines with ease, but it takes 300+ ci to do it. just imagine for a moment what a 350 ci rotary engine could do, not many piston engines could keep up with that. just food for thought

I respect the wankle originality, but I'll stick with piston engine... since that's all you can buy anyway!

ok back in the day of the 1.2L rotory
it was commong to see them pushing 250-300hp in nonturbo form
they have the 2.6L rotory that was used in lamans
600hp and 500lbs/ft all under 9000rpms oh and that was without a turbo
they have the 2L rotory that in stock form only puts out maybe 280hp but they can easily be modified to make 500hp... again I said easily
then the rotory in the RX-8 250hp out of the same 1.3 and no turbo
they have a lack of design time of the pìston motors but they do have a lot left in them for refinment
and hey as long as I do not put two stroke in my gas I´m sure I can come close to passing emissions. and you can still go out and buy the rotory motors.

If I was new and were to see this thread Id wonder if this site was 3rdGen Rx7 or 3rdGen Fbody with all this wankel/rX7/Rotary stuff.
