here are a couple of good reads to start you out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_rotary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo

rotaries and turbos are perfect for each other, but you need to keep it reasonable. my best recommendation while you are getting used to a new rx8 would be to take it slowly and get to know as much about the car as you can. rotary is much more complicated to modify than piston engines, but it will be worth it in the end if you do it right.

yea iv'e noticed the rotary engine is very different from piston engines weigh alot less too hell the whole car is very light... but know that i have my head in place you think 280hp-300hp is doable with just a turbo kit???
