Default Turbo Rotaries

Many people keep telling me that turbo rotaries are bad engines. I just wanted to know if you guys had problems with your turbo rotaries. I am just asking this because you guys have turbo cars and you know more that the people who don't own turbo rotaries, also when I get more money I might swap a turbo engine in mine.

Theres nothing wrong with turbo rotaries other than heat .

Just like any high performance rotary . They have a tendency to melt wastegate diagphrams . A stock T2 with a little boost FMIC , 3" DP/Exhuast , 3 row radiator and electric fan is dead reliable .

A stock T2 can be just as reliable . Just make sure the radiators end tanks arent cracked and do nomal maintince and realize that rotaries use oil normally and keep tabs on it .

So just make sure it has no leaks and plenty of oil and coolant. If a NA RX7 uses 5 quarts of oil then how many quarts does Turbo Rotaries use?

No problems at all. Once you go turbo you'll wonder why you waited so long.
