Thanks for the info "Damic", I'll keep that in mind, maybe I'll place an indicator light to verify the pump when it is on. That and I do plan on having both in and out coolant temp sensors within sight....

Cool project. I had a 63 double door chop top bus with a rotary. Super fun!
|
sweet project. i've always loved old beetles and a rotary powered one is icing on the cake.
|
That thing is pretty damn cool.

Hello Rotary heads out there.
MY name is Rich and Im from Bakersfield California. I Have a 64' Volkswagen Beetle. I have some experiance with Rotary engines but my latest projects is going to push the envolpe for me. I plan to place my 6-port 13b in to my VW with some of the highest constraints. First and possibly the most difficult rule, NO CUTS to the car. TWO, deck lid must close. Three, must be a daily driver. Four, would like to have the radiator in the engine compartment (REAR). I know Im asking much, but I'ts my goal and I feel I can do it. Here's the real catch. I'm broke!! I make 10 bucks and hour and I have three kid's, So you can see where the real constraint is. Later I would also like to have some boost and A/C. So far I have the engine in and running with bypassed radiator and a short exhaust header. I was able to take it for a test run and all I can say is WOW!!!! So I you have question about the build feel free to ask. Also If you have any info that could help me please do so. I am looking for people with the highest of custom info and what the engines full capabilities are such as, will I save cooling effectivity if I run the exhaust sleeves. Can I have power and good fuel economy N/A or with a turbo. Thank you all for checking me out, Hope to hear from you all... R.HOLGUIN |

nice swap, i just got back from Hawaii where I rented a 67' VW dune buggy to cruise in. Had no power what so ever, giving it more gas only made the engine louder and not any faster lol! fun cars though
