You're only working with 80 cubic inches, so there's only so much you can do NA. The combustion cycle of the rotary helps, but it's still a small engine.

For a heavier car like the FD a single turbo, low compression ratio engine (running moderate boost) is probably going to be the most reliable rotary you can build. At least one that makes the kind of power you will need for the FD. Just don't make the common mistake that most others do and start putting together all the sexy go fast stuff on the engine and not do a massive upgrade on the fuel system and ECU. Without those any boosted rotary is likely to implode, no matter how good the engine build was.
yeah I agree the more I think about it the more I figure ill go with the 13b rebuild. I posted a build thread so you can check out what she has already.. It has pfc for ecu but needs a tune...
