Ok, I have the chance to get an FC off of a friend for $500. It's non turbo. There is no interior. It has a short shifter. And it ran when we parked it.



I'm wanting to throw out the rotary and toss in an Sr20det.



anyone done this with success. I know there is a black FC with the swap, and he loves it.



this is just going to be my daily driver, since my civic to too powerful for daily driving now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

he is the only person and he did all the work himself

You'll most likely need to swap in the drivetrain out of a Turbo2 to handle the extra torque/power.

GSRswapandslow 07-13-2003 03:37 PM

do you even know who i'm talking about?







ohh, and just for reference...i'm not a n00b by anymeans. this is just my first FC. I've worked on some FD's....so i have a good understanding of the rotary theroy.

GSRswapandslow 07-13-2003 03:40 PM

i'll hve the sr20 stuff to go in



the RX i know that did the swap just had to get a DS made, the rear end can handle it





i just need to know about mounting and wiring

FikseRxSeven 07-13-2003 03:51 PM

wont it be cheaper to just get the whole T2 setup ..... and produce similar power?

GSRswapandslow 07-13-2003 04:07 PM

i'll be making more RELIABLE power with the SR

and I can work on SR's no prob.





I was going to contact Rotorsports about it...but, i'd just rather have a good engine that's boosted and will last.

Your best bet would be to contact the guy that did the swap, I dont know him or his name. You might be able to get in touch with him thru www.dgtrials.com.



I also think that you would need the more robust turbo car driveline in order to have some reliabilty. I have been contimplating a 1.8 liter miata turbo motor swap myself for the past year. Good luck!

GSRswapandslow 07-13-2003 04:11 PM

it's not going to be making that much power



i mean, i have a 556 whp civic...that's my toy...



this is just going to be a daily driver any maybe around 300whp or so

GSRswapandslow 07-13-2003 04:21 PM

and not trying to be a dick or say that rotaries aren't reliable...



i'm just lazy when it comes to a daily driver...and i wouldn't give it the care a rotary needs.
