300 WHP auto naturally aspirated possible?
This may be an incredibly dumb question but i will ask it anyways. I want to know if it is possible to make a naturally aspirated 300whp automatic. This may sound absurd, but I want to know if it is possible and if so what would it take if money was not a factor. I know very little about the Renesis let alone any rotary engine.

Your best shot, if you wanted to stay rotary, is a 3 rotor 20B, but....

I don't see what you have going against FI. No matter what you do, you are going to spend a bunch of money to get to 300WHP anyway.

I think with a fully bridgeported FC 13B N.A. you can get close to 300 hp. It isn't going to happen with a Renesis.

Glad you asked!

It just so happens that there is one Here. Just drop it into your car. (shouldn't be a problem, right?)

Paragon, don't listen to these guys. I have a 400whp 4AT that's naturally aspirated. This is what I bought and it really works, dyno proven!
