the noise at idle is normal--what else is happening---no clue. Does it happen on free reving?
Maybe the idler pulley?
rote i had about 12K on it but i would not count this as a blown engine because of how it happened. Dang 2 cent fuel line part.
I am thinking guys that we need fuel pump help also.Most fp are designed to produce approx 30% more than the engine requires----well i think we are past that. After break in i am going with the kenne bell.

Well Denny, you DO have the inter cooler ice box from a Mustang, maybe you were planning on adding Mustang parts a little at a time.
PS: Rick DID build a new "Rotary" not a "Boss 302"?
Also, a question/idea.
Our air intake temperature sensor is installed in the Pettit UIM (or at least mine is), which is aluminum and mounted to the engine block; I am planning on moving my temp sensor to the super charger side of the hump hose to provide a more valid temperature reading on the air charge instead of the block and intake temperature.

Or stay rotary....

The only problem would be getting disqualified for not remaining in contact with the ground on longer straights....
/And getting banned from the dyno.

Now here's a rotary you might get under the hood, and you'd have that "supercharger whine" to boot. Rent your RX-8 services to NASCAR for track drying excursions.

Hell, it might fit at that!

19.0 in wide and 22.5 in high; 40.8 in long....
I pity the clutch and you can forget the stock transmission.
You better get a very large resonated mid-pipe
I wonder if it can be tuned for Methanol; to run colder and be "green"? LOL
