I know they cost a lot and blow up even more often … but i love them , and will build one when I have extra cash. Def a sweet car and fun just to say its a 1.3 L motor making 300-400whp hahaha I dunno bout the GT42 ??? how much you trying to make … id worry more about keeping the motor together for more than one run … what you have to tune it with ? ---

Well the motor im putting in is a 3 rotor stock rx-7s come with two rotors and are 1.3L the 3 rotor is a 2.0. I was going to use a 60-1 for the turbo when I wanted to make 450 hp put now im going for around 850. I plan on milling out the rotors and useing 3mm apex seals. for the computer I want to go with a hallteck e11. Once its all together ill send it out to get tuned. The gt42 will make that 60-1 look like a little baby turbo. ---

You will need much bigger than GT42R to hit 850 with a rotor… Rotors have lots a waste allowing the turbo’s to spool fast but a turbo rated at 600-650 will make 520 on a rotor maxed out… Your gonna need a T88 HO to make your wanted power. Ehh then again Iv seen the HUGE hks kit on a 3 rotor make 730whp or so but that motor went in a few races… Rotors hate high boost and thats what 850 will take. Not only that you will have 3 gallons to a mile gas mileage haha… your gonna need some crazy fuel with rotors too … 1600 with 1800 secondary injectors or run meth… Sounds like tooo much money to me … but gotta love the rotor :boink ---

Im planing on bridge porting along with 3mm seals, and polishing the rotor pockets. as for fuel it does not matter its only going to be my fun car. + the gt42 is rated for 1200 hp i can get 800 on a 3 rotor. if tuned right a 3 rotor can handle a tun of boost.
