You're right mate. Peripheral aspirated engines can barely reach 320HP. You would be very lucky to tap 275HP with a monster Bridgeport or D-port. That's aspirated. Supercharge or turbo is a whole different ball game.

Is this car in the US or Canada? It looks like it might be LHD. There doesn't seem to be as much of a following for early rotaries over there as there is, say in Australia.

Wherever it is it looks like a well sorted machine. Would you be racing SCCA (sorry not good with race categories over there) would you race against many old 240z / 260z / 280z's? wondering how the rotary goes against them :).

I have a site in progress for such cars vintagejdm (dot) com - check it out.

This video was taken at Rotary Revolution, in Indianapolis. There aren't very many vintage rotary cars this side of the pond. I can't say I've ever seen anything older then an RX-7 on the road, but I do know plenty of people with early RX cars. I have an RX-5 Cosmo.

That's why I greatly enjoy asking them to justify their comments. They never do, and indeed, aren't even capable of doing so.

How much power would this thing be making?

A full bridge 12A should be 320 -350 HP with a good tune.

DANG... where would one hypothetically get full bridgeport? And then you need 3mm seals too right? I'm assuming carbs as well...

Any rotary engine builder who does porting can do a bridgeport. 3MM seals are not really require or recommended in most cases. Carbs hate bridgeports, EFI is always better.
