Whizbang's Rally Car v3.0!

[Whizbang]

by the way, Group 2 for the rotary means "non ported" engine. Group 5 is where you find anything NA and greater than 3.0L adjusted displacement, or forcefully induced (or both). Ported rotaries just get pushed into it.

my friends Integra is a group 2 car (which we are racing this weekend in Az. woot). Its a Honda ITR engine making like 193 whp or some crap. So that is the kind of competition car wise i have to deal with.

and thus i am considering the 13B-MSP since Rx-8 stuff is hella cheap and with stock whatnot, i can make ABOUT that same power level.

Why not Mazda's 2.5 or 3.0 V6 (if the 3.0 squeaks under the rules)? The 3.0 was rated at 232hp and the things are hella cheap. The V6 would allow you to keep the engine behind the front wheels for weight distribution and they're all aluminum so fairly light. The new series V6s are even lighter and stronger, but I would imagine more costly to get hold of.
