I haven't thought about a price on it as It's not on the road yet...
I bought the motor out of a BMw road-racer, want to get it out on the road...
before I can set a price...
with a hood and grill and driving it has to be worth 5k-7k... maybe more then that...
how much just to buy your PP motor?
How long ago did you build it?
Any Dyno numbers, or time slips?
Carb? exhaust? HP Guess? where does it rev... light flywheel?
I am reading more regarding three rotor motors and may go that way...

I'm going to do some advertising for my store with the Rx3-SP by putting my logo on it...
making it my delivery car... really just vinyl, comes off easy.
hard not to make it a stocker now, but I wanted to do this for a couple years, with a couple different cars... my LOGO goes great with a white or Red car... was going to do it to my white 71 Trans am last year... but it sold....
in true Japanese race look...so the flares will be painted to match, then my logo will be added, almost like a nascar them, but not too red-neck...
I want a PP, but want something that will be reliable, has many motors of building experience....
something from a reputable shop....A motor that will last under daily thrashing...
How many have you built? nothing personal, just want the experience.... whats your motor worth?
I have cash extra for the right motor.... 3- rotor, or PP or both....
I like the SAAB turbo newer cars, sorry, I have NO experience with the SAAB SOONET....
and mainly just want 300-400 HP for my SP
Oh yea, I will remove all the flares and paint this one yellow.... with the SP stripes and all bone stock when I sell it..... Or blue, or Orange....
I have had 7 SP's in the last 3 years, and they always sell....
Just want to go radical on the HP and torque, had a blue SP a few years ago that had a 12a Pineapple racing motor.... it was wicked!
the rest I have made all stock...
I drive these cars everyday....
so I'm trying to represent...
the SAAB and Benz emblems come off today!!!!
they are cheezy!

doubt u will ever see 400 hp with the pp and i wouldnt sugest that for a daily driver/delivery car will be a nightmare to drive. would be better off with a nice streetported 3 rotor since u want the hp numbers.. do you want the n/a factor? could easely have a nice fast motor with a rew engine with a single and would be far more reliable then a pp considering its a high reving motor.

I think that a motor built by somebody in the business of building motors for a living, earns a little more respect for my money... I will be selling the car later with the new motor. It ads Value to the sale if it's from a Established shop.
I really like the BIG TURBO 3-ROTOR build on the orange sp that went to Germany!!
I also don't mind selling the R100 just to get the motor I want for the SP...
So I prefer an established shop built motor...
Used is fine!
Pineapple racing stamps thier engines.... so I can find out exactly what I'm getting.
I'm sure your motors are great for you...

Three rotor turbo is fine! I'm open, but want radical for now....
Rob at Pineapple has been running a PP13b for years.... 275+hp
very dependable.... loud is good...
I just want to ROTARIZE a few Ricers and a couple camaro's...
add Nitros for when you really gotta get there!
