I’m 16 doing a awd acura integra build and i was wondering your guys thoughts on it. i’m 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?

 

why not a 4 rotary?

 

More engine bay space and i like the three rotary more.

 

Lol you're not doing anything of the sort

 

says who

 

i think i am doing that i’m already in the process of doing it

 

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.

 

I agree with ATC529R, go 4 rotor.

 

well i already got the chassis and a person who builds rotary’s all i need is the shell and then the hard work starts

 

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.

 

no you wouldn’t honda awd systems are a half and half where they can switch from awd to rwd me going with a subaru chassis it’s a constant awd 24/7

 

5 rotors are the new thing, honestly this project is pointless unless you go 5 rotor

 

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.

 

Lol. I'll be watching marketplace for the scraps in a few months.

 

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

 

some pointers

 

go follow my instagram and youtube i’ll personally send you the scraps

come on don’t be scared

 

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.

 

there no budget i’m paying for it and a lot of it im doing myself like the roll cage links and body work are all being done myself

 

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.

 

haters gonna hate

 

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.

 

That's All Folks!
