Turblown can't even manage to build a usable low mount turbo kit, the last thing I would buy built by them is an engine. Plus If you think that engine is built to handle 500HP for more than a minute or two then you are nuts. But the oil cooler setup would be pretty easy to sell. Also how do you plan to prove it only has 3500 miles on it?

I have receipts and mileage plus the car is parked mojority of the time as for as the oil cooler set up my block is tapped because of the loop line so if I did sell it they would have to get all new lines.
Just looking for an opinions because I love the car but the power just isn't there for me plus my dad and a couple others been tellin me about and ls3 swap just being waying my options with reliability that I can do 600hp street car Fairly easier

So you are selling a 500HP rotary engine because you want more power..... Where do you use said power.
If you put an LS# engine in, I bet a stock Rx8 would beat you at the track or autocross. We have old old Rx7 with a V8 and I destroy it because he cannot get the power down. We also has an S2000 with an LS# motor and all the stock S2000's were quicker.
Power does not necessarily = speed (apart from the drag strip).

Yes, or at least it was last I heard. And IIRC, this engine had an oil leak at some point as well, not sure what that ended up being but I remember he was thinking of replacing the front seal.
