Rotary Miata
 

Some photos of the rotary Miata I built. It has a 12a peripheral engine fully built with hardened racing parts took me a total of 3 months to build most of the time i worked on it was after college and the weekends

Awesome!! it's hard to see the induction system. Looks like a carburetor? What kind?

are you sure it is a P-Port? I see a glare of holley intake

if you look closely you can see the couplings. Also you can surely use a holley in a PP! lol

Yupp it's a p-port,how can you miss that wacky.

Do you have better pictures of the engine bay?
Also what are you planning for suspension and such?
Really cool project tho!

damn, if that was a 13b id say you have my ideal car.

its a holley carburetor 650 ill put more pics of the engine bay soon

Yea its a PP running on a 650 Holley, for suspension i went with KYB GR-2 and lowering springs I'll post pics of the engine bay in a couple of mins

Here are some photos of the car now that its finished. I bought the car without an engine or transmission just a shell. I fully built the 12a with solid corner seal , super seals, racing springs, hardened stationary gears, stage II clutch, Front mnt intercooler, bigger radiator, dual electric fans, racing fuel pump, Mallory fuel pressure regulator, KYB's and the springs came with the car.

Still have a little bit to go i need to install a roll bar, hard top, wheels and slicks

how does the engine feel compared to the factory piston engine? A stock 12A is rated at less hp than the Miata 1.6 liter. I guess a carb is simple and all but I would have done an s5 non turbo 13B engine controlled by a factory ECU.

This isn't a stock 12a its Peripheral ported fully built putting out more HP than a stock s5 or a stock turbo II lol and it runs amazing no traction on second

having some problems tunning it does anyone know what size jets i should be using on a holley 650

you have a front mount intercooler on your n/a car? with an 13b S5 front cover?

Front mount oil cooler.

Yea front mnt oil cooler sorry didnt notice that everything in there is from a 12a except the oil cooler, radiator, alternator, and water pump housing

looks like you have a holley 600 vac sec with the secondary diaphragm missing

Yea i changed it today to a different carb that one was leaking air somewere , i installed a 750 that has the diaphragm on the secondary and race bowls running much better now chokes out when i pounch it but thats because i put # 71 jets for secondaries need to bring it down

Good work

chokes out because your secondary spring is too light perhaps

Video of the car the wheels are different now and the engine bay is way cleaner video is alittle old need to take a new one

brap brap brap... good job. Can't wait till you finish it

Sounds like my snowmobile!!! I love it, very nice setup!

Soooooo engine blew found out compression was escaping into the coolant system and i put in a turbo II 13b with a t04 t61 :D bridged, I'm working with the wiring to the ecu ,engine harness is done doing the side that goes to the coils, ignition, power, and gauges.

I love miatas
I love rotaries.
Cool car bro

Hell yeah- this is cool. It sits in there so nicely! It was meant to be eh?

Does the transmission tunnel have to be raised at all?
