The rotary has a smooth enough torque curve to hold the standard trans together?
Little scared about my Fortin sequential. For race use it's not rated at the type of HP I can generate from the 13brew.

If you use a turbo rotary don't forget to use heat wrap or something like that, or your inner wall will be red hot to :D

btw more pictures please :D

in for pics and video!

Wow looks like fun!

nice

this thing must just be awesome to drive all the heads you would be turning like what the heck is that just the sound of the engine would make people look twice lol nice car

Sick build! Congrats!

this is so cool!

?

nice to see a rotary powered beetle

cool project

Still here,

got a new starter (hope it spins fast enough) and going to try out the carbs one more time...

Hey rich. Good luck with your rotary beetle

New plan
 

Here's the new plan...

Going mega squirt and turbo. Here's some pics of the basic lay out...hopefully I can have a custom intake built to make the overall engine profile as low as possible...Anyone know of a company that will make a custom intake???

Now this is the proper:nod: way to mod a beetle!

Good luck and hope you'll enjoy the ride:)

Very nice!!

coool stuffff

Looking great wish that I had that kind of ingenuity.

Nice Swap

thats awesome gotta love the old beetles and a rotary

Nice swap and good luck with it.

lol this things boss

Awesomeness!!!!!!

Going F.I.
 

Here's the latest with the Rotary-VW,

Ported the turbo mani to fit the 6-port, built the Megasquirt and relay board, got the pump and regulator, and I'm going to try out the electric water pump (davies craig). Might start out running non turbo since I've already built the headers and piping, then slap on the turbo a bit later, but well see.....

Make something to check if the waterpump is actually running, Furb had blown his fuse (20A) of his electric waterpump and blown his engine. Use a larger fuse or no fuse at all but put it then behind the fuse of the EGI or so, if you blow that one then your car stops ;)
