My friend is building an fd and wants to build it N/A, I was all excited until he told me 4 rotor setups are 30k, wtf is so spendy about that setup? Looks like shafts are $5k, how do you get from there to 30?

This is probably the best deal you'll ever find for a 4 rotor setup: http://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-product-development-interest-3rdgen-rx-7-269/defined-autoworks-4-rotor-kit-group-buy-1075028/
He also has a good 3 rotor setup that is much less.
There is no OE support for 4 rotor setups so everything is custom. That gets pricey. Not sure about $30k pricey and whether that number your friend got was just for the engine...
Drool
It's not like you can go out and find a 4 rotor setup in the junkyard and rebuild it. Even the 3 rotor setups are pretty rare and not cheap. Custom = $$$ no 2 ways around it.
Amgrx7 thanks, thats what Im talking about! I bet that thing sounds glorious. Hopefully I can talk him out of the Ls power he's on the fence about.
I used to be that person advocating LS swaps, I so still like them, but man I've developed such a rotary boner over the past couple years that I'm thinking of going down that rabbit hole.....
Here's some stuff to help convince him to do a 3-rotor 20b. At 11k RPM.

I think the price is that high if you have someone else assemble the engine. If you have the skills to build it yourself, I think you can probably do it for about half that or less, depending on how many dead 13Bs you happen to have hanging around. If you have to buy everything and pay somebody to assemble it, $30k seems realistic.
Also keep in mind there aren't that many ECUs that can run a four rotor.
Don't know much about rotary engines, but I did learn from the video that you don't have to torque anything while assembling them. Cool
