It would be one expensive swap though! $7500 for the 1300 motor. Although it does pass 1995 Cali Emmissions without a Cat so if you live in an emission state you could put an exhaust on it.

If you look at their latest release, they found a manufacturing site in Romania.

And on their list of engine configs to produce...

3180cc 6 - 530cc Rotors at 300hp.

6 Rotor???

300HP under 15psi of boost and no warranty. 130-150HP NA.

Keep in mind that since this is a new engine it is probably rated with a free flowing exhaust (or none at all). It's okay but it's a downgrade unless it's possible to go 3 rotor.

As for emissions, last I checked they were comparing it to 2 strokers. This engine puts out double the CA legal limit for passenger cars.

You need a minimum order of 60 units to order online. From a dealer the MSRP is $5,800 - $8,495 from low power version of the NA to the turbo.

The online pictures are 3D models, they don't even have photos shown.

Freedom Motors has a long history of blowing out hype, exaggerations and false promises.
