Wow, tall order. I'm out of my leage on rotary engines, though. I hope you get what you want.

If you are looking for 400whp reliably and easy then I would go with an Apexi turbo kit.  They spool almost as fast as the twins do. Also get a Apexi PowerFC and AVCR, new fuel pump, HKS ignition, 1600cc secondaries, a wideband O2 and you should be ok there to start.  Just have someone very reliable install everything and tune it.  Don't try it yourself unless you know which vac lines to get rid of and keep etc. etc.  lemme know if you need help or hit up the RX7 forums at www.rx7club.com
Good luck man.

Also be careful and make sure your engine will keep cool.  I highly recomend a new radiator from Fludyne and dual oil coolers if you don't already have them.  There are a lot of little things that you can do to keep it cool and lasting...just lemme know if you need help with anything and I can tell you what should be done or point you in the right direction.

I am so enfuriated about that. You worked hard just to get the car and garbage hood rat theives took your car!
Man I wish I lived in your neighborhood! That wouldn't have happened if I was there. I'm the pit bull in my neighborhood. Nothing comes in or goes out unless I know what's going on. A lot of my neighbors call me to keep an eye on thing for them when they go on vacation and stuff. I take it very seriously when I'm given that responsibility. You should consider starting a neighborhood watch and head it like I do here in mine. Don't let it happen again. It feels like getting raped, doesn't it? I know the feeling. Been there. I'll be damned if it happens again!
I have more to say but my kid wants to go on Disney.com to play games.
I'll get back at you if you have questions on how to start the neighborhood watch programm in you hood. I've been at work now for a week and find it hard to go online but I'll make an extra effort to keep in touch. MAN THAT SUCKS! I feel for you.
