This reminds me of a person I know who's on his 3rd rotary engine and still swears they are just as reliable....what a joke!
I dont completely hate the rotary but I think we can all agree its a more FRAGILE engine. How many times have you heard of an LS1 blowing up because of a bad tank of gas? When a boosted rotary lets go its typically catastrophic, wiping out seals, rotors, housings, plates, turbo etc.
Both platforms are fun when running in tip top shape but the piston is easily more reliable, gets better gas mileage, builds more torque, and is even emissions friendly.

Well I own a home, how about you? Maybe the reason I couldnt finish a project is because I realized owning a home and having a garage for my cars was the more responsible route. Now I have a 3000 sqft home, two car garage and a V8 Rx7.....yep, looks like I made the right choice.

Well let see, the first one you could not figure out the fuel problem. The second and the third one I can't remember why you sold them. The fourth one you blow a coolant seal and blamed it on the previous owner. When you were the one that broke a hose and still drove it. Then you replaced the engine and sold it because you thought it was cursed or something. Not because you bought a house. The other two does not matter because you are putting a V8 in one of them. So all I see is that you have no excuse why to hate rotarys. As for a house, it must be nice to have your wifes parents give you money. Im in the process of getting a house with my own money not mom and daddys!!!!
Shouldnt you be reparing a forklift rather then playing on the internet?

Once again you are the master of skewing the facts and creating your own reality. Ill carry on an intelligent conversation with you once you can get beyond 3rd grade grammar. You cant even put a ******* sentence together!!! Your wife is a kindergarten teacher, ask her for some help

Also when you decide finish your v8, look me up. I'll show you what a rotary does to a v8.

If you don't know what you are talking about, you probably shouldn't open your mouth to remove all doubt.

By the way Robert..."Mr I love the Rotary", take the picture of my engine bay off your desktop. When I finished my car I sent him a pic and he called me right away, "dude, that looks awesome, I put the picture as my background for my desktop. Eventually I hope to go LS1."
So dont come in here high and mighty 'blown rotary boy', you would give your left ******** for an LS1 in that pathetic engine bay of yours. For you to think you could actually beat me is hysterical

Im using the Jimlab design made by dynotested. The design is awsome, but the manufacturing is awful. Jimlab sold(i think) his design to a company who then outsourced the production. The subframe fits with some flaw, but the steering rack doesn't come close...which unfort. was the last "to do" on my swap.
