A friend of mine just bought a 2003 explorer limited and put 22s on it with a nice ass system, blah blah blah - he's loaded needless to say. anyway, the limited doesn't come with a V-8 and he was pissed about that. naturally, he is interested in my fd. so he asks me if he could put a rotary in his car. i just thought wtf? who would do that? but then i thought it would be pretty cool to have a 20b in an explorer, and if he can afford it, then why not? so my question is can it be done? i assume that it would cost loads of money if possible but it might be worth it to him.

i'd only put a 20b or bigger in it. a 13b just doesnt have the torque to get the thing moving.

i think it wouldnt be all that hard, but it wouldnt go anywhere its too heavy, tell him to get a real car first then we'll talk

It would MOVE it, but the question is, where is that torque . . . with the gearing and weight of the Explorer, you want the torque as low down as possible. I just can't see it being a happy combination. But hey, if he's got the money to throw around . . .

yeah, i guess you'de have to look at the graphs for this one. but i don't think it would be any worse than the v6 already in there.

i think it needs a 787b

WHy doesn't he just keep things simple and drop in a V8? The car will have no resale value if he made the swap. ANd if he though it was a gas guzzler before.....Whoa Buddy! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

yeah I think it is a 26a.....But if he bought one of those then he might as weel have bought a exploror with a V8 and then put leather seats in it, wood grain dash, screens, swimming pool, sauna, tennis court. And it still would be cheaper!

its the r26b, well they have a couple of variations
