Rotary Powered S Chassis?!
Rotary Power Nissan S14 Team Drift car (2) - RX7Club.com
dont know if you guys have seen this, but i thought it was pretty f-ing cool.

for the money, i would definately just go sr with a descent turbo setup (GT30 or 35), but its different, so its kinda cool. im sure it sounds like butt though

Rotarys are the greatest sounding motors...
They also can spool a turbo much faster than the same turbo on a SR because there is considered 3 combustion points on the rotor.... Its nice that they put one in a car that the suspension is more tunable towards drifting because Mazda over engineered the suspension of the Fc and Fd...
I love it.

400whp and 280tq @ 13lbs
Not bad numbers, I wonder what the power-to-weight is on this or would it big enough difference to notice?
I hear Rotary engines are real bad when it comes to overheating..

That's pretty sweet! There are a lot worse motors you can put in these chassis. Is it me, or is it sitting up really high?
BRRRRNT. They can spool a turbo much faster because they have 1 combustion event for every rotor rotation. That also means that this "1.3L" really moves the same amount of air as a 2.6L traditional Otto-cycle. So yeah, it spools faster because it has more equivalent displacement.
