My Uncle told me he has access to a 12 A out of a '72 RX2. He also told me it would make WAY more power (he claims 150 HP, 120 Tq) and be a direct swap for me. Is this true? Is it really THAT much more powerful (NA)?

 

Don't listen to him. They were twin dizzy and had 6mm apex seals.

 

OK, thanks. He's usually smart on rotaries. Seemed odd he'd be wrong, but it also sounded VERY out of line for an older 12A to be 50 HP more powerful

 

You can get similiar hp out of your's and it will last longer.

 

Yea but that 400 pound starter sitting on the top of the engine is sexy.
