February 28, 200620 yr Now before you all say WWHHHYYYY because I can that is why and also because I have a '89 GT sedan with no engine as a donor car and I think an AWD rotang mite actually be pretty cool.. DILLIGAF DJ
February 28, 200620 yr i know nothing about the 13B, but i do know you have your work cut out for you...good luck. ~Josh~
February 28, 200620 yr its been done before...in here in New Zealand there was a subaru leone RX sedan AWD with a 13b turbo. used to run on the national rally circut
February 28, 200620 yr I think it would be cool to do one of those as a swap.I know that the mounting and what not will be a bit tricky but would be really cool to see it done.Good luck.I think rotaries are a nice engine but if you are going to boost it at all...you better get some better apex seals in there and do a periferal port on the engine to make it come alive.
March 1, 200620 yr It wont be all that bad as far as mounting goes and things its just getting the measurements right. the 13b is a small engine like only weighs around 200lbs i would say not including the bolt ons. you will have alot of engine bay space left after dropping that in there. You might want to do a mid mounted engine. That would be really cool and rotarys are known to be easier to do it with because of their size. your going to be using a 1.3 liter right? worst thing about a rotary is putting it back togather. Easy to take apart. i have a 84 Rx7 myself but its a 4BL 12A 1.3l . I love the car its pretty sweet for street driving. Handles like crazy
March 1, 200620 yr the whole transmission deal with 4wd seems like its going to be tricky. What did you have in mind for like the front?
March 1, 200620 yr If you have the engine bay space, why not stack rotors? My neighbor has around 10-15 RX7's of all ages, none turbo. He says that proper port work can help a lot in the rotary's. I once saw a video of a tripple stacked RX7 wheelying half way down the 1/4mile.
March 1, 200620 yr Author Tramsmission will the usual Subaru Auto with AWD will mate rotary to this shouldnt take much just an adapter plate to be made up.. the whole transmission deal with 4wd seems like its going to be tricky. What did you have in mind for like the front?
March 1, 200620 yr Theres an NA version in an RX here in the states as well and it runs too. Just needs and ALT bracket and its set.
