one thing that everyone needs to consider is that the availability of a rotary engine there is not like it is here where you can get one from a junkyard for 100 bucks. And once you consider the curency exchange rate at the moment the price of puting a rotary in there the cost would be astronomical. And if something brakes that means you will have to wait for parts for months and oh yeah the country has a 20% import tax on anything and everything that you have bought and shipped from another country. Dont get me wrong I am deffinetlly would not do a piston engine into a rotary, but if you take your options you have to go with the most resonable one.

thanks to all.
Yes rotarycrazy is right because he knows the situation.
i.e.

Good rebuilded engine 13b cost around 3000usd ? Now usd felt donw but still has 2,4LTL : 1USD so 3000USD is around 7200LTL (national curency) i.e. average monthly incomes in my country is 1500LTL so 5 month to get engine.
There was times than i earned enough but now i'm out of money with my mazda. yes i want rotary engien very much.
but here in my country to get good engine is imposible.
was thinking about ordering from USA JDM imported engien with transmision for around 1300usd. but then i will need custom ecu and so on.
here is very dificlult with rotary engines nobody knows them, no body repair them.

But i want this engine.
vey much
