Hi Chaps,
Does somebody know where to buy à Mazda Wankel and the associated
turbo charger? Any idea of the prices. ... and is somebody knowing
this engine in Europe?
(I live in Europe (and unfortunately in France))

Driving around Europe I saw the most Mazda RX7's in Switzerland. Most
people just buy 2nd gen turbo II RX7's and take the engines out.
Keep checking e-bay in the states. Let me know when you find one. It
is theoretical possible to ship it to France. Especially stripped
down and in parts.
Also if you take it apart you are allowed two bags that weigh 50
pounds each as check on luggage. I think you can pay a bit more if
they are over 50 pounds by a little bit. The bare engine weighs under
200 pounds. Two people with a complete engine in their check on
luggage :)
Of course any rotary can be turboed as they are all robust enough for
a turbo charger.
There was a guy at Aero with a Mazda powered airplane. He was a
classical music horn player. If you can find him he might be able to
help.

Hi, Paul
No, I don't happen to know Herr Schmidt but I can write to a couple
of friends of mine in Germany who might know him. Where was the air
show and do you recall any other details about him?
Yes, send a photo.
Best wishes,
Dick
The air show is an annual event called "Aero" in Friedrichshaven
coincidentally :)
Or, try contacting Mistral Engines in Geneva.
Best Regards,
Steve Thomas
How your Glasair doing Steve?
If you don't mind I would like to come up sometime and take
some pictures.
