The Pulsation Dampener. These ites frequently fail and cause fires on older rotaries if they havent been replaced. Either get a new one to replace the old one soon, or perform the banjo bolt mod, which is a topic again that is covered over and over again.

Building a capable engine is tough, but I'd be more concerned about fueling and tuning. Make sure you get yourself a good tuner with exp. I agree dude, go turbo, you could acheive that goal easier and probably cheaper.

So i'm reading the book and learning but should I go with Supercharger or turbo??? With a motor swap i'm thinking low compression TII motor remove the turbo and put the supercharger on top. I know SP's don't like high compression. Any more info guys still trying to figure out performance and what I can do for 10 seconds asap. Oh yes I like this car so i'm tying to buy another one preferably a shell that I can gut and build bottom up. Like my Nova lol.

Rotary was like built for a turbo. Don't supercharge it, it'll get messy, and probably end up costing you more to get into the 10's. Our engines have good exhaust flow, so USE it
You'd need to prep your engine to be able to handle a larger turbo+more boost though... some nice strong apex seals, a good porting, a good fuel/ignition setup, a good standalone ECU and tuner, and good suspension for traction! Power's useless without traction
There's heaps of setups on the forums, time for you to research eh?
You won't learn anything if people hand you all the answers... good luck

Then delete it and quit reading it. I'm learning a ton so please don't give me crap i've been doing research and personally I find these forums just a bit unorganized. That is a personal view so please don't take offense but I have learned a lot more than that in which I new before so please and again I say please do not discriminate me for asking a question. Cause the only bad question is one not asked.

The reason the forums are a bit disorganized is because people keep posting threads like this. A thread should be about one topic only, and anyone posting should (indeed, NEEDS to) be searching prior to making a thread. Also, the FAQ is a great source of info and is necessary reading to avoid constant reposts. Also, if people would be a little more descriptive in their subject lines with things other then "need help" or "new to rotary" then it makes searching a lot easier...
