Carlos,
The RB4000 can handle 220HP, it has been tested for 25 hrs. on a Robinson
Helicopter engine rated at 220HP at 3200RPM   It has further been run on a
220HP Franklin engine and currently installed on a 220HP Subaru SVX
The problem is not the power output of your engine but the torsional
vibration for which the Rotary engines are noted
Could you advice us which conversion you are using and if it has been
installed and flying and if so what type of propeller you are using
Further info on our propeller can be viewed on our website

With regards Bram Water

Typical mis-information on the rotary. The rotary has less torsional
problems than a four cylinder. Not more. It is like the apex
seal problems 35 years ago. Is it going to take use 35 years
to live down the torsional myth?
