Jackson Racing, both the original and its many namesake-derivatives, have earned a well-deserved reputation over the years for promising vastly more than they have the capacity to deliver.

Huh. Sure enough, EO D-700-4 is listed on the ARB website: http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/de...eo/D-700-4.pdf
If you read page 2 of the EO, it does note that approval was granted based on previously-submitted test data from prior EOs on other cars (eg: EO D-700, 700-1, etc), so the fact that they have this EO doesn't necessarily mean that they've built a single one for a Miata, even as a prototype.
Doesn't mean they haven't, either...

Four of the five Miatas are listed with the CARB-certified system, and they were giving rides at the MRLS Miata 25th Anniversary event last year. At MRLS, I asked them how they thought their system would compare to the (then unreleased) TDR Rotrex system, other than being CARB-certified, and they said then they had never heard of it.

I keep wondering why there's been so much apparent interest in rotary superchargers of late. Maybe it's just be, but I continue to be extremely unimpressed by the shape of their torque curves.

I don't buy the reliability close to N/A. More power = more heat. No matter what form.
You just make less of it so its more reliable. Turn down the turbo boost and you get the same thing.

I think the slow car fast theme comes into play with rotrex getting the most out of your slightly boosted N/A step in the upper rpm range.
I'd like to see concealer's Gross car with a rotrex
