Remember the Rotary doesn't have A LOT of torque so the axles will probably live with a little tire slip once in awhile. If you went Slicks or something I would start looking at more swapping.



A Injected 13B made it's way into my Suzuki Sidekick which I think is smaller than what you are working with. No part of the swap was difficult, but the part I dreaded the most was hooking up the coolant hoses. I kept the stock heater core and only cut the front axle out to make it RWD. The mounts were welded to the frame, but I suppose I could have just unbolted the front crossmember from the RX7 donner car and used it. I used the stock Suzuki steering box, but had I used the front crossmember I could have used the stock RX7 rack. However I didn't want power steering, so it all worked out.



My next upgrade is to TurboCharge it. (Trying to get it into the 11's)

dont forget the ever so popular 20b 3 rotor
and what about the 26a 4 rotor that won the best race in the world? the mazda 787b with a 26a motor won the 1991 le mans race and was the 1st and only rotary to win a le mans race. many have entered few have won.
