definitly went with a big Koyo alum radiator and a colder thermostat for cooling and as far as fuel, 2 supra TT fuel pumps and 1000cc/min primaries and 1680cc/min secondaries should do the trick.

The motor is an Atkins build, 3mm apex seals, large street port, Viton O rings, opened up coolant and oil passages. I dont have the patience or the tools to do the rebuild myself, yet. I am going to attempt to rebuild my blown engine over the winter and see where it takes me.

It would seem that way with only 1.3 liters however rotary engines do move some serious air for their size. It is kind of decieving

Hmmm maybe I should stop over one evening and check this out. Got any cold beer?

The factory redline is around 8000 rpm but my new motor has a fully balanced rotating assembly and hardened stationary gears so it should be safe to 10,500-11,000. There are N/A rotary guys spinning to 20,000 rpm!!!
