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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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!

 

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

 

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.
