Awd 3 rotary integra

I知 16 doing a awd acura integra build and i was wondering your guys thoughts on it. i知 taking the chassis off of a subaru and putting a 92 integra body on it. ik i have to cut and reshape the body to fit it and since im doing all of that i want to put in the extra work and do a 3 rotary engine swap in it as well. what are your guys thoughts on that?

OK i stand corrected then and apologies for doubting you.
it's just that this is the type of project that is dreamed up by 16yos on a regular basis with statistically a 0% success rate.

If I wanted an AWD Honda, I would use all Honda parts because people have already made that work well. I certainly wouldn't want anything from a Subaru. Good luck with your project, please post some photos.

Dude just get a T2 and throw all the fruit at it. You will have 400hp/ton rwd, reliable goodness that will actually happen (at all) for about $80k cheaper and 10 years sooner.

Welcome to forum . I like your way you are thinking . BUT a 3 rota will smash all your drive line and it will be very difficult engine to fit in a Subaru chassis. I wish you luck

What is your budget and who is paying for it, and how?

Honestly unless you can show real financial backing, I don't want to waste time looking yet another unfinished project. I have enough of those on my own.

Haters will doubt a 16 year old will build an Integra with a Subaru AWD system and a 20B. That Australian race team in the video had to use a Subaru, but they didn't already have a chassis.

I think you've missed the point above. If you aren't sponsored by either major companies, or mom/dad, then a 16 year old will have a very difficult time doing this swap regardless of what skills you already possess.

Have you priced out what a 20B runs in 2024?
How about ecus?
Wiring?
Injectors?
Fuel fittings, pumps, hose
clutch?

I could go on. I'm not saying it cannot be done, but a whole race team is dedicated to projects like this, with budgets into the 6 figures.

I'm not a hater, just a realist. You see kids all the time come on here telling us they are doing some exotic multi rotor body swap which NEVER happens.
All I can say, if you can even get it started you must have VERY supportive parents to give you the space (something i was certainly never allowed) to start with and help tow various junkers around town.
let alone when the real build starts and its all $$$$$ and time.
if you can do it, more power to ya.
