Supercharging a rotary

[captainbizzaro]

Hi 84stock...nice setup-are you willing to share any more details about it like where you sourced the charger,pully size,drivability..........I don\'t know a great deal about the in\'s and out\'s of supercharging apart from the basics so anything you could share would be great as I\'m looking at different options for the winter tear down.:cheers
 
Cheers

So, so, soooo much to tell. Bottom line, awesome driveability on the street. Immediate boost response and great torque. But, you\'ll never see over 200 hp and it doesn\'t create a racecar, just a good street car. If you want power, dollar for dollar you can\'t beat a turbo.

Fair play mate.....I\'m in a slightly different position anyhow as I want to stay 12a really,but I think it\'s looking like the turbo route will be the best way to go. If I was going to change block type aswell then ultimately I\'d love to have a setup like a chap on the US forum who I expect you\'re familiar with called ductape with his REW SA, I love that machine! Anyhow,sorry to hijack a touch here! Keep us posted on any progress or changes you make in the future.

Don\'t feel hijacked at all. I say get a good T3 (like off a merkur), fmic (perhaps a volvo unit), find a 12at exhaust manifold on ebay (has the T3 flange), lock the dizzy and blow through either an edlebrock on a racing beat manifold or a weber sidedraft. Could see 170 rwhp with a safe 10psi.

Plans for mine involve blowing thru the charger with a td08, t51 etc type turbo for a true and first twincharged rotary.

^^^sweet! That you have to keep us posted on.
 
I like your ideas anyway.......you gotta think out of the box every once in a while.

hay bro this rx7king what type of supercharger is it as  iv got a blown s2 rx7 and i had it with a 750 double pumper and it was very hard to get it to run right as we tried 3 times and the motor kept blowing up .so what we when and done is fuel injected it and then it ran like a dream

[84stock]

I run a 7" camden supercharger. I\'ve run a few diff carb ranging from a 600 holley to a 850 holley. My favorite is a 650 edelbrock. What are you suing for a standalone. Did you have it dyno\'d? Any video clips?

[rx7king]

yer man i havent got any videos of the car but i have pics il send them to man it a weapon rx7 yer bro ill send them to u late not long man

[rx7king]

the best superchargers are screw type blowers or the gm 1s the 1 on my car is a 4-71  GM and it looks mad

Hi Tim.  You should take a look at my 12AT.  I\'m well pleased with it.  Seems totally reliable & very drivable.  I\'d reccomend it.

They are far to big Gary.
The CFM is way to much for a two rotor engine.
Great for a big block Chevy though.
