Although doing this on a rotary isn't as easy. You can get a 13B to about 200HP NA with a street port and 320+ with a racing peripheral port setup. Not sure what they've gotten out of the renesis engine after porting I would guess closer to 285 but haven't heard of too many shops even touching that engine.
Seems like its not worth it Not that much power, and im sure your giving up a lot of streetability. How does forced induction work with an engine like this?
