Might sound odd, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of anyone doing one successfully. I know I'd run into tons of problems with this setup on my 240, but it's not gonna be a daily driver anyways.

So here's how I figure it, it's a small compact engine that fits in almost any car it's put into. The problems I think I'd run into are engine mounts and different tranny and mounts. I'm going to bring up the question over to checkpoint performance in Rancho Cordova, mazda/rotary engine specialists.

So give me some input, possible links on the idea. I did a search on here I didn't get much.

A rotary would take more to maintain it...Id rather stay KA then go rotary

 

I would if I could, meaning, I don't have a KA in this thing... well I have the bottom end, with a hole in a piston. Maintaining it isn't a problem, rotary engines are notorious for reliabilty problems, but I figure if it's hardly on the road, it wouldn't really matter. It's more of those owning something odd that you don't see too often.

 

Off hand I'm going to say that the tranny will be alittle shorter.

 

Tranny is normal size, the motor is short, it'd be a ver simple task getting it mounted, then the wiring would be simple if you dropped the cash for stand alone, but I would think the wiring would be pretty easy with stock harness anyways. Which one would you be swapping TT or T

 

somethink like this:

13B in an S13 Silvia

 

hey sweet, you found it. Yea, I'd go with the older motor due to cost of the motor. SO a turbo II motor from an 89 or newer. What magazine is that out of sil40?

 

actually, i found it on Meggala (look in the 'Hybrids' section).

 

thank you
