Ron.. I'm not seeing anything on your site about a 4 rotor.. Would that be made using 13b housings or 12a's? Also, could the FD tranny still be used without having to move the shifter?

Not to be a hater but how many times have you seen sombody post up 1 thread and that be it? considering he wants a "4rotary" this KID doesn't know what the hell is involved with anything to do with a rotary wankel engine. close the thread.

Talking

why get a 4 rotor when you can fit a 12 rotor in a FD ???

you dont even need to get a custom driveshaft made cuz you wont need any!!!, only gotta modify the tranny tunel !!!!

ok... on a serious note
1 post? just ask if it will fit___answer,yes
how many people have done it? 6-12?
yes kiwi makes e-shafts (make sure the quote in in the correct dollar units)
get the motor or builder....THEN if you need an installer and you recovered from the build start asking for an installer. Its about a 20g-25g install plus motor costs
you need to search ALOT about this before just dropping the im going to do a r26b swap

I don't understand why people are still responding to this thread. the kid who started the thread is obvoiusly like 15 and having a wet pipe dream. mods shoudl really close useless threads like this.

Well I am glad noone listened to you. I did a Google search on this because I was curious about how it is done and the cost myself. And it brought me here, where i found a few very good informative links that answered the questions I had.

For those of you that posted Useful Information, I thank you.

Does anyone know off hand how the ignition on a 4 rotor works? that seems to be the one piece I am not able to easily find.
