An invitation

What class let's you completely modify the drive train, and not run a power adder?
please post what class you are building this car for? The fact the you didn't realize you couldn't run a oem turbo on the car suggest that you are unfamiliar with the rules you are building to.

whats wrong with the rotary power plant in the rx?

the rotary will self destruct if put to the same abuse of just about any other engine
they are a lot of fun to drive but very very expensive to build up.

If I were building something like that, I'd start with a much lighter chassis first.

gearing is still not the same as a n/t gear box. no one really takes a turbo 2g and goes n/a. the n/a 2g motors are a 420a (neon motor) or a 4g64 sohc in a spyder. if you were to go n/a you would have to locate a mass and injectors from the 2.4 twin cam galant. i think the injectors size is 250cc's ...
