Not only do they not want to make them but if they were to do so the engine would probly have even more overheating problems. Unless it's well vented or has similar scoops like the MR2 has. That would be neat though. BTW isn't the 787B mid engine lol.

 

I know of a 13B installed into a lotus elan a bell housing had to be fabricated.

 

I've just started building my mid-engine rotary.



Started designing it about 3 years ago and just started building the chassis a couple of weeks ago. It will be like an Ultima (only better of corse) when finished.



The great thing about putting the rotary in a sports/racing car is that it is so compact (when you get rid of all the crap) and with a dry sump kit can be mounted really low giving low COG.



Will be putting in a 13b to start but there is room for 20b.



If anyone is interested I will post some pics when it gets to an interesting stage.

 

hell yeah! post pics of whatever you have!

 

Hell yes we're interested.

I suddest you start a build thread/blog so we can monitor your progress too.

 

Yeah post dome pics for us!



I would like to see pictures of that 20b gt40 kit/replica



I was actually going to put a 13brew in the old MR-2 but decided otherwise. That would have been sweet though.



On a side note if anyone would like a 6-speed transaxle and doesn't like the idea of paying $12,000 for a ZF my old man imports custom modified Getrag 01E 6-speed transaxles from a race company is South Africa. they comfortably handle 400bhp. I have wanted to play around with one but about 85% of my disposable income goes into my FD. lol

 

ok, I'm half way through building the chassis atm; should be done in a week.



I'll post some pics then. Being half finished it doesn't look like much right now.



cheers

 

I started a bit of a build diary. There nothing to see rotary-wise at the moment, but you can see what its going to be strapped into!



NBR Beast Mk2

 

Just took a look at the page.

Looks good so far.

Please keep us updated. Are you familiar with this ground up design/build?
