Anyways if you really are, a Holset is a great choice. Tough turbos, can be purchased cheap with relatively low milage, and can really pump out the power - relative to a turbo Honda's needs at least. The 6-blade HX-40 wheel can do around 68 lb/min, which is more than enough for pump gas - but as you seem to think rotaries are some completely different magical solution, all bets are off. Power pulses be damned, you still need X amount of air to create Y amount of power, so in that respect rotaries aren't different from any other gasoline engine.
If your power goal is 300-450whp, you don't need anything bigger than even an HX-35. An HX-40 has the ***** to make over 600whp with the right motor.

Budget? FC's are cheap and easy to fix up. It's the problem of selecting parts. I dont have $1500 or even $1000 to just go out and buy a turbo. I've got $1500 alloted for suspension, $500 for mechanical, $550 for dress up, $400 for interior and there's some extra but i'm probably going to blow that on bullshit that has nothing to do with cars so it's not in the budget. This season is pretty much me getting the car at a good base point for things to come. I'll be buying ---- as i see it along the way but right now, i'm not going to turbo it until this time next year. Have to buy haltech. No if, ands, or buts. NEED GOOD MANAGEMENT.
I'm hearing alot of mixed input on holset turbos on a rotary from ALOT of different sources. It's hard to decide. It's like trying to vote for bush, kerry or nader again.
