im intrested in pricing a 12a for my vw bug "probably shouldnt be posting this because im probably going to get laughed at"



what would i be looking at paying weather it is a junkyard motor or rebuilt?



im not looking for more than 100-200hp but i am looking for revs as it is a daily driver and am sick af being stuck in 4th gear on the freeway and a 5400rpm engine max "about 115mph tops"



would 100-200hp out of a 12a be too much for a it, im new to rotaries so i dont quite know the abilities of a rotary except that u can rev the **** out of em and they last



well thanks for your time
