#42
If the illest Grip Royal 14" wheel crowd on Club Roadster figured it out, this guy might have a better chance than we think.

What's all the hate about i like doing engine swaps for the purpose of just doing it and learning new skills. My original post was if i should do it bc i would like to drive the car on the street sometimes and just wanted to know if the miata and the 13b is a good combo. i'm not asking "hOw dO I pUt eNgINe iN cAr" i know very well that it takes time skill and effort, im not a bolt on guy i like making everything myself so i can learn something not just change brakes and oil. Thanks for all the replies i'll do it and make a build thread about it.

Hey guys and gals, I got my hands on a cheap 13b. I've never driven or owned a rotary engine before, but I have plenty of fab experience. I'm planning to swap it into a pristine NA to drive on the street occasionally on nice days only. I don't plan to take it to the track, but I'd like to make some serious power with it by throwing on a turbo. Is this a good plan?
* Try out a rotary before you commit to the build, it's an awful lot of effort and not everyone ends up liking the motor.
* You're going to have to make a bunch of mods to the shell, so maybe don't cut up a pristine NA, especially if you live somewhere where they're not plentiful.
* Building a rotary for serious power is going to be expensive and parts are getting hard to find even in the parts of the world where they were "plentiful".
* etc.
