so i got this crazy idea; to put a 13b into a first gen MR2. Why would i want to do this? i duuno, but i do, and i think it could probably move pretty good.

anyhow, i really dont know too much about mr2's and i wonder if this idea would even be possible. Could the engine even fit? i dont think the oiling system on a 13b was ever designed for transverse mount, so somthing would have to be done about that... i could get an adapter plate made so it could go on the trans, and im sure i could weld up some sort of engine mount... i dont know how the flywheel and clutch would work out and so on....

 

i wanted to do this but then i thought the rotary wouldnt get enough air to cool it and it might overheat.

 

well.. the radiator is in the front of the car... im sure with a little thought, it would be ok... and a custom radiator...

i just got to find a MK1! seem pretty rare in my area.

has anyone mounted a rotary transversly?
