Smile 13b into a suzuki hatch

hi guys,

i'm looking at fitting a 13b turbo into a 1982/1983 Suzuki Hatch 800cc 3 cyclinder. I was going to spend lots of $$$$ on a 2nd 3 cyclinder with all the fruit, forgies, carrillo rods etc, etc, but them someone gave me an idea to fit a Turbo Rotor to it.

Would there be any thing to look out for when retro fitting a rotor into another car???

Here's the spec's on both the hatch's i am trying to get:
Suzuki Hatch 800cc specs
The motor will be a stocker series 4/5 for now, until i can some more $$$$$ and it will then be rebuilt to make 300 to 400hp, i will be running a power glide 2 speed auto.

Now for some rough calculations, say the car weight in at, including driver, a fat 1400lbs, it make 220hp it should return me a 10.79sec@126mph pass on the 1/4 mile, or if it losses weight and comes in at 1300lbs, it's making 350hp it should return me a 9.02sec@151mph pass. Here's calculator i used put the numbers in yourself if you don't believe me 1/4 mile calculator

There also may be a possibility, and a big one at that, NOS will be fitted, 75hp shot out of the hole and 75 to 100hp shot on a button for top gear, pushed at about 3/4 track...
So any advice please post.
BTW i do know i am possibly INSANE and should not be allowed near vehicles....

big problem would be traction down the 1/4 mile
you'd need some really really fat rubber... and i dont think the ol' zuki is gonna be street legal after
it'd certainly be an interesting swap, i doubt it'd be cheap but that really doesnt seem to be bothering you

but personally i'd rather see it in a..... nicer looking car
not that suzukis aren't nice its just that.... c'mon
go the coupe! at least **** off some z owners and swap it into a 240 or 260 z

what do you think the stability of that little lightweight would be at 140mph? A little crosswind and you would be in some serious sh*t.

It is a good idea..... but also realize that that calculator is for rear wheel HP I imagine. I punched in some numbers and that's what it led me to believe.

2900lb RX7 (with driver) with 600rwhp.... 9.8's.....

One thing to remember about speed calculators is they can only predict from AVERAGE HP applied through the run. Peak HP is meaningless unless you can keep the engine at that peak.
