Rotary 4x4 anyone????

Ok, I am looking for people who are running a rotary motor in a 4x4 trail ride.
Wanting to go 1.3L FI into a Suzuki Samurai.
Thanks

There are a few.....never heard of anyone being dissapointed with the swap afterwards,especially since even the stock 12A has about double the power of the Sammy 1.3L
I toyed with the idea but used my old V-6 instead for better grunt.Not that a rotary couldnt crawl with the best of them,its just a matter of engine selection and gearing.....

Heres a discussion at Pirate that were having, on the very subject.....

Heres a link to a sucessful 12A Samurai.....
