There's no proof that, FB25 can't make high revving. With right tuning, EJ25 can rev all the way up to 9k

Oh, it's a 4 rotor. I had to look that one up as I'm not too familiar with the Mazda Rotary designations.

No matter how powerful, no fucking rotary is ever touching any of my cars.

Nope. My car will remain a spinning-fairy-triangle free zone, forever.
Besides, Toyota is not mentally handicapped enough to make one anyways.

I Agree too. I really dont like rotarys.
If I get bord with what it being in factory trim, I Would be kean for a EZ30R or maybe a Heavly worked EZ36. The EG33 would be to big and heavy to fit into the FT86/FRS and could effect blance. |

Those things are so effing simplistic compared to piston engines. Not so sure of the hostility towards rotaries to be honest...they're not great on gas, but they're extremely light and small, making for easy 50/50 balance in an FMR setup. The only thing I can think of is the unfamiliarity with working on them. Like I said, I spent a few hours one night watching the local rotary guru do his work on my bro's 12a and I couldn't help but be astounded how effing easy that process was. I spent more time cleaning carbon out of the groves in the Rotors than the actual assembly. |

I worked at a Toyota dealership in Cincinnati (about 25 miles from their largest plant in the country) and was told by one of the development guys that we would be getting a Tundra turbo diesel (engine built by Caterpillar) duelly. I was told his about a month before their 5.7 was released. The moral is until that shit in the dealership nothing is official.
