hey guys just wanna know if 18 inch is too big with low profile?

are 12a N/A rotories still legal in any state ( will an engineer pass one today if he had to )????

its not 3.5 its just 3 times the weight of the car sould add up to the CCand how do rotaries drive from servo to servo i never heard that rx8 rotors are like that? rotaries are the best 300bhp on just porting and exhaust? dont be fooled by the ca18det the botom end is #OOPS# and is always starved of oil in high rmp so the engine wont stay cool and the engine weights to much for the car it puts the whole drive out like #OOPS# you need even portion weight in the front so its not so heavy in the front. GO THE 12A turbo

well depending on where you live rotrys are not legit in datsun 1200s but its heaps cheaper than most conversions if its weber but injected n ecu can get expensive.. just bridge port your 13b and leave it carbureted n you will be pulling 180kw no probs..

if i were you i would save more $$$$ and go ca18det carnt go wrong there champ or a 200hp 13b rotary

how hard of a job is changing the 13b series 5 engine to a 12a timing cover? and i heard you can leave the top mount as it fits with the bonnet closed? is that true.. so whats involved in the conversion?

12a timing cover
custom top mount turbo
tailsharft
remove the air pump.

what made you go series 5 and not a old rotory? and whats the difference in gearbox crossmembers between s4 s5 i would still be keeen if it fits a 1st gen gearbox 5speed from a rx4?

what gear box are you running ive got the same thing at home but with an older 13b, i now want to upgrade to a series 5 13b turbo, im mounting mine from the front of the engine and using an early 13b sump, i am thinking of using a supra 5 speed as its smaller but can i use the standard box?

any other sugestions?

which car did this one come from?
