ok guys, the car im building is a mazda 1994 rx7
Ok to give you a run down on the situation.
I bought the car last april for £3000
The reason this car will work is that a lot of the things i require are already with the car.
It has a very low drag coefficient body 0.28 which means cutting through the air is easier, it has double wishbone suspension all around which adjustable camber from factory.
I have since fitted a set of tein coilovers with alloy top mounts, i got these from a friend who had only done 1000 dry miles on them for £300, this gives me the ability to make the car very low to help with aero, ie fast under, slow over creating downforce.
Now up until last year there has never been forged components for the rotary engine, its just something thats never been developed because of the complexity and the tooling cost.
This means that every power rotary engine has always used stock internals. Those 1300bhp rx7s you see at the drag strip are running the same bits that the guy up the street is running on his stock 250bhp rx7.
Now the benefit of this is the lack of parts that needs to be bought, when your going for big power on a piston engine most people 'forge' the bottom end by spending say £1k-£3k on rods, pistons and maybe a stroker crank.
Another benefit of this engine is the lack of cams, valves.
Now if you want more power from a piston engine you normally need more aggressive cams so you can get the air in and out a lot easier, which can cost a lot of money, some people pay up to £4k for a worked over head with lairy cams.
To do the same on a rotary all we need to do is port out the housings, now this costs anything from £200 put to £500 depending on where you go and what you have done.
For my engine, we have gone for a large port and also ported the inlet manifold, removed the extra throttle butterflies to help with flow.
This is the same as flowing the head and putting in more aggresive cams, gives the ability to make power higher in the rpms and also due to the extra flow of the port also means that the turbo will spool earlier.
Ill post this now and type the next bit up
