Thumbs up Rotary Starlet from New Zealand

G'day I'm Willie Nicholls from Christchurch New Zealand. Currently putting the finishing touches on my little Toyota Starlet KP60 circuit car. I'm an engine re-conditioner by trade but now work as a fitter and turner, quite helpful when making up parts and what not. The starlet is running a 13b full cut bridgeport injected with an injection perfection ida style throttle body and Link G4 extreme ecu made here in NZ and a Mazda miata gear set in a series 1 rx7 casing. This is my first go at a rotary engine and am enjoying the new challenges and learning!
Glad to be part of this message board now! Have been reading on here for quite a while and look forward to learning as much as I can!
Cheers!

hi

thats a awsum little set up you have!
Im trying to sortout what gearbox to run behind my 13b bridgeport turbo.We are aiming for approx 400Kw. Cant find a R154 with remote shifter and i need the length, so was looking at s6,s7 and s8 box. But i hear they blow 3rd gear?
Whats the reason for running your box, with those gears. Strength or ratios?
Cheers Greg

Mostly just for the ratios, if it isn't up to the job ill have to replace it with something stronger but it's a light little car so fingers crossed!
