That link should work. And, uh, wow. I don't know how long that rotary is going to last. I imagine that at the end of the 1/4 mile, the rotor should come flying out through the hood. It's gotta be from an 18-wheeler's turbo-diesel. I have seen bigger ones, though. As in 7 feet tall. (Diesel, of course.)

A nice image of one:

and the company that makes them:

Yeah - I remember standing inside a cylinder of a container ship engine at a marine engineering company that was a client of mine, thinking 'sheesh, this thing would have enough torque to tow Australia!'

Man, youd be surprised to see how much boost a rotary can take. You would be blown away.

Oh, I've seen my share of "over"-boosted RX-7's, but it still gives me the heebie-jeebies every time. All that centripetal force just wanting to chuck the puck like a frisbee.... Of course, heebie-jeebies are why I don't work on cars for a living.

Dude! I remember seeing a Twin Turbo Holden Commodore at the drags once that had a turboes like that!

It did the 1/4 mile in 7.93 or something like that.
