Jaydee I do not mean to be rude. I doubt many people on this site know much about the rotary engine.
So how could someone with no knowledge, of what you ask, answer?
If you want an answer, give some information. Do you mean a Mazda? What does that engine weigh? How much torque at what rpm? Peak Hp at what rpm? Better yet a chart of torque verses rpm over the entire rpm range. Then how much boost will you add with the turbo? If you know this you pretty much know the answer.
Oh yea and which V8?
Frankly most would consider putting a turbo charged rice burning rotary into a replica of the ultimate muscle car, as distasteful as pissing on a picture of the virgin Mary.
If it will make you feel better, I'm sure that a highly modified rotary could beat a bone stock 210 Hp 5.0 Ford small block, but what would it prove?
