My dad gave me his green concept one dune buggy (He bought a 2nd one which is purple) and I weighed my options of what I could do with it and have decided to put a S4 13B in it with a carb setup on it.

This will be a challenge due to space that can be used but will do as best i can to get it done.









Gonna take the body off today and start working on the chassis before anything gets done with the engine. Once that's done I will start ripping the Fuel Injection stuff off the engine (expect a F/S thread in the next week or so).

 

Nice project!

 

I spy a volkswagen chassis, time for an adapter plate and a badass 13b? :p

 

Haven't had a chance to take the body off yet sadly... it's either raining or I have to work and then come home and do stuff on the house. Going to try and get stuff started this weekend. Hope it doesn't rain so I can start.

A bad-*** 13B will be the last upgrade possibly done to the car. Looking into finding an adapter from Kennedy but their website is no more from what I could see.

Thanks for the link, was not aware mazdatrix sold the adapters.

thinking about using a type 3 swing axle that came out of my old squareback for better gearing.

Ive decided that it would be a little tough to put the s4 13b into the concept one, so im going to be changing the swap up a little and the rotary will be going into the vw squareback that im almost done paying for... the engine that will be going into the buggy will be the pancake motor from the squareback.
