Take a look at the Starmazda site. Look under the Factory
menu and go to photo page 33.
Is this a dry sump system?

Randy,
If you use Tracy's 2.85 redrive and turn 7500 to 8000 rpm 240 HP should be
obtainable with a good intake and exhaust. Note that there is much
disagreement as to what the correct lengths should be for both the intake and
exhaust - be prepared to experiment. Also, no one that I am aware of is
doing 'negative G maneuvers' with a rotary and I'm not sure how you would
configure the oil system. Does anyone here know for sure?
