RotaryAE86

im working on getting my rotary powered corolla on the road. i pulled the motor and tranny out of old gsl-se. ive been working on it for awhile and was planning on boosting it with my t70. but i want something a lil tamer so i guess ill be doing a t4 setup. heres a pic

Have you made a driveshaft yet? Are RX7 and AE shafts the same diameter?

RotaryAE86

do not have a driveshaft yet, had the 2 old shafts from the 7 and the 4ag but i dont know what happened to them(dont ask me how) im talking to a couple different companies actually on opposite coasts(FL and CA) about a shaft but i need to sell my turbo first so thats where im at now

Nice job on the transplant. I have alway thought that car would be better with a rotary. You should put a TRxD sticker on it. J/K.

sorry a 13bt cuz i get them for cheap 950 motor and tranE. JSEPC

My friend has a '73 Corolla Wagon that he has been thinking about Rotorizing. Has anyone done one of those or a Mango? He has good motors and transmissions to use as well as a welder. I think he need some pictures to get him motivated.

RotaryAE86

that would be sick, ill go out right now and shoot some pics of my mount

Man thats pretty awesome. I've thought thats a cool idea with an AE86. More info! how'd you design the mounts? how does the drive train work? Stock components? Mazda components? info man info! lol.

RotaryAE86

Tyblat, are you on dsmtuners? i know ive seen your name somewhere, heres a pic of my daily. anyways drivetrain was from my old gsl-se, basic swap, i hard wired in an 190lbh fuel pump. the mount was easy as you can see from the pics since the 1st gen 13b's mounted on the engines front cover. uh, i dont know what else to say, ive been working on this swap slowly since 2002 so its been awhile since ive done this stuff.

when i had my 12a in my toyota ae86. My boy and I used a bed frame, and we weld a metal plate to the bottom of the frame to hold the bottom bolt of the engine. Dont have pics of it, wish i did. But you might need to drop the crossmember down a few inches. of you are running a carb.

That is great. I told my friend he should do this to his Corolla as well. lol I would kill to have a rotary powered old skool rear drive Corolla.
