V6 mustang swap. Rotary In V6 OUT!!!
 

My buddy is thinking of takeing his 98 stang and puting in a 13B-T S4/S5 engine.
Has anyone ever tried this swap?

IMO, that is one of the most retarded things I have ever read! Why you may ask, the mustang was over 3800 lbs. The torqueless wonder of a rotary will not get that fat ass moving! So your friend is giving up bottom end power for maybe an increase in topend(prolly not even noticable) and giving up reliablity for the sake of doing it and being unique! Sorry, no dice. Now a 3 rotor would make plenty since!

I think you mean "plenty sense"?

Words spoken from somebody who has no clue the effort/money it takes to do one.

If your buddy has a mustang, why would you do anything other than drop the 5.0 in it if more power is desired or put a SC on the V6, which brings you to the same level as the 5.0 for power with much less hassle? Sounds like he is a glutton for punishment or has far too much money. Owning a '98 'stang sounds like the former.

Not even a J port 13b turbo huh?

To think that engine would have 350 hp and his v6 has 180 hp

Yah i think thats enough to get her fat ass moving!!!
Plus you shave about 100 lbs off the dynamics.

He is not looking for super fast just something different.
A rotary powerd stang i think that would be pritty sweet.

The lack of torque would make the car no fun to drive on the street. A three rotor would solve the problem but cost serious money. I have seen pics of a 20B powered 'stang.

A 5.0 would be easy. Lots of torque and horsepower for a lot less money.

If he is just after something different he should buy my turbo 13b Porsche 911. It would be a LOT cheaper than trying to build a fast rotary powered 'stang. Already has the 350 horse and onlt 2700 pounds.

i doubt your gonna save 100lbs swaping to a 13bT.
you need to do more research on what torque is and what horsepower is, and you will better understand why people are saying it wont work well regarless the port or turbo on a rotary motor.

It might make 350hp but thats not what moves the car. It's torque, and rotaries are known to be torquless bombshells.

Actually, torque to the pavement is what moves cars, which is entirely dependent on gearing.

Try again.

more power to ya bud

at NSU when the rotary engine was still a baby one of the first cars they put in in was a 1965 ford mustang - they let the editor drive for a few months to do an article but only on the condition that the wouldn't let him say what car the engine was in!

interesting facts no?
