I am somewhat of a rotory noob. I know the basics of how they work, and I know the most common problems, but there are deffinently many questions that could be answered. My biggest question. I am looking to buy a new car and REALLY like the FC. But I also know the reliability and power arent as great as the FD. So I was considering doing a motor swap. I have done some preliminary research on it and it seems that the hardest part is the mounting, which I found motor mounts made by FC3S.org that are made for this. The other possibility I believe is to make your own and possibly put in another crossmember but I really like the idea of a pre made kit. How hard is the wiring? If I were to use the REW ecu and wiring how hard would this be? Is it worth the trouble or should I just stick with a turbo II engine? Is it harder to put the REW in a N/A FC than the turbo II? What are some reputible companies that I could buy the REW from? I know of a couple, but would like some input from you guys. Thanx.



Also, What is some good reading material on the rotory engine, aka FAQs or "Do's and Dont's". Other than that I have been reading this board on and off for over a year now, so I do know some things. I am very good with normal piston engines, but obviously they are quite different. Thanks a lot.
