good on ya turbo tom youve seen the light, since posting this article have change my mine and decide to put a 13b in my ute. so if there is any one in WA sellin a RX7 serious 5 half cut could ya please contact me

Im pretty sure that the fire wall and gearbox tunnel dont have to be modified but alot of work has to be done to the cross member and engine mounts

well anyway ill be able to inform ya in a few mounts wen i start my project

p.s. i recon it would be alot easier just findin a serious 5 with low kays wouldnt it instead of a serious 6

why would you bother putting any other motor into a 1200, when a 13BT offers so much power and fun???

Here are some pics of my car fitted with a Series 6 13B engine and a 700hp roller bearing GT35/40, currently making around 220kw at the wheels

that looks mad congrats with the car the look ssssmick ass. did it fit in easy or wat, i no when i do mine ill have to modify my crossmembers and engine mounts but apart from that is there any other big things to do or watch out for. anything you can thing off that might b useful would be wicked cheers for the help

p.s. wats sort of times u running down the strip in or havent u got that far yet?

hey 13b's are old go for a newer motor if any thing get the last of the rx7 motor

Ah the last of the RX7s did have 13Bs.....

Perhaps you mean Cosmo's, some with 20B's?
or the new RX8 with the non turbo 13B that produces mroe power than a turbo one?
Or maybe the twin turbo RX7 motor?

I'm just making guesses...

I agree in trying to keep the Datsun a datsun-nissan,there are plenty of options. The one comment I do not agree with is the sound of the rotary. A rotary with headers and the rest is crazy!. Also,one word in favor of rotariy engines,the rotary is just a variety of engine,as there are 3,4,6,8 12 piston engines,rotaries are not exclusive to Mazda,soon the patent(which was NSU's I believe,in the past) will be over,and several automakers are working on their own rotaries. Perhaps Nissan will bring in its own rotary.

Hi.

before i proceed i just want to declare my love for the rotary technology. Having said that, as per description on this group info, i was wondering if it is possible to do a 13b rotary conversion on my '1979 Toyota corolla. it is the sane as the Datsun 1200. And boy do we love these cars here in South Africa.

I have heard from other sources that it is possible most evident example of this being this particular site.

If anyone know anything in this regard, please do not hesitate to reply to me...

You dig up a 4yr old post, triple post. And then to top it off, about a corrolla. Which is not the same as a Datsun. Simmiler size/shape etc but not the same. Try a Toyota forum buddy

What would you think of me putting an A15 turbo motor in a mazdz b1300

Well, you knew I had to say something. Everyone knows my feelings toward the rotary in a 1200, I don't approve. That's all I'm going to say though.

you could put in a rotary and call your car the lawnmower well thats what they sound like

The rotary is one of the least expensive, quickest ways to build a fast car. I say if you are saving money, do it! After all, Z-series engines never came in our beloved 1200s either ...

Once again the dreaded explanation rears it's ugly head.

The main reason for Tim's disdain of rotary powered 1200's is that it's been done to death (think of something more original), and the fact that it's not a Nissan is a minor reason (although important).

And just because the 1200 didn't come with a crossflow 2.0 doesn't mean it shouldn't have.

I'm sure Tim will point out where I've besmirched him.

Oooh! There's nothing like being smirched!

Hey mate! Nice move I have just installed a series 6 13b turbo in my 1200. It's all done and i'm just running it in.Should produce some good figures

I once owned a Jport 13B powered 1200 ute It was loud & thirtsy and got the wrong attention. A turbo rotary on the other hand would be pretty neat.Nice and light quite and lots of HP. I reckon my old Jport used to sound like someone cutting fire wood with a chainsaw when i pulled donuts in it LOL

Datbuz,

Hows the rotary rocket going?? any pics you can share??

Thanks,
Cel

wank wank wank waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank wank wank wank thats all i got to say about that

The new Renesis engine (RX8) is the only one newer than the 13B (i think). We never got the 20B here in the US, I thought the triple-rotor was just a myth ...

No way, no myth, the 20B triple rotor is a car produced for the Japanese market, although I think some were taken to Australia and New Zeland. England got them oficially last year, and they are expensive. I saw some at the rotary engine show in Irvine, Ca, last September, there are more 20B engines in America than I ever thought, many installed in 2nd generation and the last RX7 Mazdas,I saw some 510 rotary, but none 20B. I feel bad for Mazda though, Ford motor Co owns now the biggest part of it, it will destroy Mazda, Ford, in my own opinion, sucks, the latest Mazda 6 , as it is called, has a Ford, yes, Ford engine, with Mazda intake, I hate Fords, so I can say now, I hate Mazda, but the rotary engine is saved for now from the ford crap, because the ford people know nothing about rotary engines.
