NOPI running against V8's getting his *** kicked. Why don't you take a look at this list http://ausrotary.dntinternet.com/for...ic.php?t=46604 wow grenades seems like they can't get down the track. Please just because those around you can't seem to keep the motors together doesn't mean others can't.

Stick with the rotary. I blew up 10 engines with my tuning and only 360-370 hp. I finally gave in and paid Steve Kan to tune my old car and it made 533whp the first time and 603 whp the second time. He's a great tuner and well worth the money.
I'll have him tune my next car.

its actually a 2.4. designated G4CS. its a hyundai block with the DOHC head. wiseco pistons, eagle rods, forced performance cams etc. mitsu made all of hyundais motors when they first started. i went with the 2.4 cause its different and makes alot more torque for street driving. which is funny cause i dont daily drive it anyways, i got off on the wrong foot here. im the same as you guys. i appreciate anything thats fast. i would never own a rotary for the simple fact thaty i dont know anything about them. i dont like v8 cause i dont have a mullet. j/k. im a huge fan of LS1 FDs. if i ever get rid of the colt that would be my next project for sure.
hers a good vid of the colt. i ran another 11.2 on this pass but i let off mid track. you can hear it if you turn the sound up lol.

personally, i think you should stick with the rotary in the Rx-3, but the bottomline is it's your car, thus, your decision. if you're to sore bout rotaries though, then i've learned to respect that, too, over time. frustration is fine and so is cutting your losses and moving on, but it's not because rotaries are fragile and faulty. either way, good luck and keep us up to date on the Rx-3.

Anyways, sorry for derailing and argueing, but it bothers me alot when you, who are not an obvious Mazda rotary fan, come onto this site and bash rotaries. I'm not going over to Mitsu forums and bashing on their stuff. You have been bashing Doc's car since he's had it. I think it's amazing how a 1.3, heck a 1.2 liter 2cylinder engine can produce so much horsepower. Your engine is almost twice the displacement and these rotaries can produce just as much horsepower if not more. So if you don't like rotaries and have nothing good to say about them, then why do you frequent these forums? Earlier I told you that I liked your colt and that it was, "tight". I can respect a fast car and a good engine install and setup and you did a great job as I can see in the pics. I'm just not fan of people putting other brand engines in cars, especially rotaries. And I didn't want Doc to give up on the Rotary, because you have to admit it is one amazing engine like it or not. Peace out.

Well doc, I am in the pretty much same boat as you. But I have worked so hard on the car and spent so much money, to get rid of the rotary now would be going back on everything I worked so hard for. So many people telling me to put in piston motors, but when it comes down to it I really do love how a rotary engine works and I love how they sound.
Please take the advice LUPE gave you.
and I might have to give steve kan a call (if I get my car running next week lol).
