I have some very basic questions.  What is the output RPM?  What is the
weight of the engine and any required PSRU?  I read RPM's from 8 to 9
thousand and yet output of 2000.  Is this with a PSRU?  As you can tell,
I am completely ignorant about rotaries.  My first decesion is, can I, or
do I want to, use a rotary to put in my KR?  I am assuming the weights I
am told will include all the necessary accessories including a PSRU if
required.  Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Dave Coulson.

Up to 11,000 RPM. But we uses only 7500 and a 2.85:1 PSRU.

240 pounds for p-port 250 HP part cast iron engine.
No cooling or exhaust. With 40 pounds PSRU.

190 pounds for p-port 250 HP with aluminum end and center housings.
With 40 pounds PSRU.

Don't even think about side ports. No suitable intake manifolds
available. http://www.rotaryeng.net/fund-of-intake.html
