Hey From BC

Hi everyone, My name is Doug I'm from B.C. Canada and I own a 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS that I'm swapping a 13b-rew into

Previously owning a 2nd Gen rx7 it sparked my interest in rotories, I bought my corolla about 2 years ago and its been an ongoing project since then, and I've recently been able to purchase my dream engine

Anyways here is a pic of the Car in its current state



and most of you have seen these before but its worth posting



Plans are to port the wastegates, and delete the sequential. Gonna run it mostly stock for awhile until I decide how the car feels and what it needs.

Have you ever weighed the Corolla? I would be interested to see the weight difference after the swap. Although rotary engines are known for their light weight, with the cast turbo manifold, twins and the turbo transmission, im willing to bet it will be substantialy heavier than the toyota 4 cylender and 5 speed.
