Not sure if it is a RE, but it is impressive

i'm wondering this too as i've seen it before on exteremely high hp cars. Is it leaking at the gasket? is it superheating the air? what's the deal?

Rotarys have huge EGTs.

My RX8 headers would be red as a fire ant after a hard run.

that's quiet, calm, and probably easy to drive.

Hard to beat that sound. At first I thought the 1664 was from a 3 rotor and I was going to ****, but remembered the 4 rotor video. One day I will have a BP 3 rotor in an FD, just wait.

That would be a wastegate the size of your whole turbo.
