Default Engine question
Im new to rx7 and rotary engines. I would like to know if I can expect 250-280 horsepower from a 13B N/A motor? Is that even attainable? Would it be very hard to get that much horsepower or very easy? What upgrades would i need to attain that?

So, another word...you want an extra 100-120 horsepower out of your N/A?

What kind of realistic budget are you looking at?

Abandon all hope of this. Get a Turbo motor and you'll be a lot closer to your goal.

I seen a great article in a mag. they got 235hp out of a 13b with 9.5:1 with carb kit from racing beat. I bought the manifold and a holly 600 and it works GREAT! I put the 9.7:1 in my 1st gen with the carb kit and it flys.

All i have to say, is if you have the money anything is possible.

Like making austex laugh for example. All it takes is money.
