Wait by quad turbo we're talking a turbo per housing right? Damn that sounds intense. IMO putting a rotary in a 240sx should be outlawed as they are the most ricer car on the road. Come on we gotta maintain our pride!! I was reading that 787B engine put out around 700hp but ofcourse thats racing tuned, what can you get out of a street legal?

For a side-port 13B-based street engine, I'd wager you'd see around 350 HP NA with a moderate streetport, but we don't actually know since to my knowledge no one has ever built a side-port 4-rotor from Mazda parts.
Appropriately sized twin turbos on a 4-rotor would spool plenty fast. Four would just be needlessly complicated and expensive and difficult to set up.

Interestingly enough, I was watching something on Ed Cole, the father of the small block chevy v8. In 72 he is the one of the engineers who had designed and built the prototype rotary powered corvette. It was a 2 rotor that made between 180-250 hp at 292.5 cid.. THat was not enough so they made a 4 rotor version by joining two of the 292's together for a 4 rotor at 585cid with almost 420hp.
The looming gas crunch of the 70's, as well as the high sales volume of the current corvettel platform canned the whole idea.
