So the .95 will be best then? I did talk to someone else who felt the other two options would be a bit big and drag only.
Hotties. I'll show you guys some hotties. C'mon down to South Beach. You'll never want to go back to the midwest again. I've lived in both places. Chi-town is ok but no comparison to certain haunts in Florida.

The primary bridge is a theory, the only real limitation I see is intake manifold/ primary runner size. This is why I want to try this using a cosmo center plate and intake manifold. As far as beveling the rotor housings, I was fairly sure that everyone did this unless they were following certain class rules forbidding porting on the rotor housings. I personally believe that for turbo charged rotaries that a full bridge extends the powerband to high in the rev range, and is of no benefit for the average person. 12,000 rpm's with boost is alot different than 12,000rpm's without.

I was talking to Rob yesterday...he mentioned the Jay-tech mani and good words about it and Jay. His words are Golden ...after all. I am thinking that the BRE (with it's inherently larger intake tract) would shine even more with the GT40R strapped to it.
I think the next engine will be a BRE, probably in a purpose built car with a nice cage built into the car and a dog box with some hefty drivetrain upgrades. After finishing up the #7 Rx-7.
Gee, Keith, where can we find the Jay-Tech manifolds?
Ok, Michel, you just have pull out your trump card about South Beach. I have a sister down there so watch who you touch! Actually, I'll be down that way at least once in the next 4 months. I'll have to give you a shout.
Sean knows more about the turbine wheels and what they will do. I feel confident that his choices will yeild some good results. The new manifold alone should impact the scroll-up speed considerably....what with the equal length runners and keeping that heat energy longer through less surface area of pipe. I wonder how much that metal is going to glow at night?

Jay will be offering them again. actualy i called him last night and have to call him back today. if you would seriously want one, let me know. the new ones are not finished, but he has the older style still. he just has a small amount of machine work to do to them and some lines to finish. but you have to understand something. a week in Jay's *world* is like a month in the real world.
