I have had to get rid of my beloved rx-8. (Tear) and i had to sucum to a front wheel drive contour and i have done the search and still need questions answered i would like to put a rotary in it to make a true sleeper i know there is a lot of fabrication to be done but could someone help me figure out what all i need to bolt a driveshaft and tranny to it and how much it will likely cost. im going to go with a 13b from a 86 rex and going to do a custom turbo for it or i might even go for a 6 port rotary. plz help with the questions i cqn not find the answers also plz dont flame me for wanting to put a rotary in a front wheel drive i just found a rotary powered civic hb Green with a carbed rotary in it and it game me ideas a true family car but with more power than this little pos has even though it has a V6 in it. after owning 3 rotarys i want something unique and out of the ordinary and this would be it!

 

wow thats a rotary engine in a civic hb...thats some crazy stuff there..kool

 

Weird. What front-wheel-drive transmission mates up to a rotary?
I really want to know that...
My reasons are my own ^_^

 

i've seen a 90's tercel with a 12A swapped in.... very kool, had ITB's and a hole cut out for the hood to allow a ram air effect to the ITB's... and the header went under the motor and through the center of the car out the back....

 

Here in Puerto Rico I have seen also a Toyota Tercel with a bridge ported 12A. They used the stock transmission and fabricated an adapter to make it work. Also I have seen a Suzuki SA310 converted to RWD with a 12A. We put rotary engines into anything including a Jet Ski. I haven't seen that one but heard about it.

 

i know it can be done but what about a adapter for vw tranny i have heard that this will ork also and if anyone has pics post them plz

 

the tercel rotary its on the west side aldo o no BORICUAS somos unos boludos asiendo ingerto.LIKE OR NOT some one can translade this,good luck with the projet,and work some over time on it.

 

You could try talking to Kennedy Engineering about engine adapters if you are serious.

Kennedy made the adpater for my turbo rotary 911 Porsche. Their products are great. But you would have to call about a rotary to a contour.

 

seen a few old school beetles and there wasa 956 kit with a 12a @SS8 ... I would like to see a mid engine 20b karmann ghia or corvair

 

As usual we all know of it being done.. but some real info would be great.. Looking to do this myself into a MR car...

 

I am currently driving around with this.



12A + toyota tranny
