Started this thread in Dec 2019.

April 2024, I took my wife's 94 CW with the 4rotor to Deals Gap Rotary Rally.

Engine, header and intake built by Defined Autoworks. Swap completed by Rad Potential.

Engine was built with two new REW engines with a street port and S5 NA rotors that were scalloped.

Exedy Twin Disk and stock transmission.

ECU - Haltech Nexus R3

Hoping to have the engine broken in and tuned by the end of May.

Initial driving impressions is pretty awesome.

^ thanks. Really considering removing the stock PS and replacing it with a manual Maval or electric PS.

Didn't drive it too far and wasn't monitoring when I was driving but when idling and checking things over, it was solid. Will be interesting to see the temps idling in traffic in the summer months.

If you're not aware, JP3 offers a rebuild service for the PS pumps that gets them looking brand new again. An e-power steering kit would be a clean look but if you're going to keep AC you'll still have accessories on that side of the engine block.

Glad you've been able to get the throttle assembly to function the way you want! Still designing a new cooling system for 'mine'.
