OK somewhat serious here (RD serious...uh oh)



Name some of the "odd" rotary applications, cars and what not you've seen or even heard about. That includes all wheel drive RX-7 conversions, 20B installs, 13G installs, 15A sitings, 12A's that produce FAR more power then perhaps they ough, Judge Ito motors painted hot pink with warning stickers on them and cars that wouldn't normally have rotary engines having them.



I've seen a rotary in a Ford Model A kit. Pretty cool, I want to slap one in a three window coup. That'll **** em off.



Also heard of a rotary powered VW Bus which is something I WILL do one of these days. Helped with a Buick V6 install, why not a rotary?

Saw one of those once. Came up to it at the lights and it was sitting there brapping away. Had a 13B bridge, chopped roof, dumped, big rims etc. ****** tough. Seemed to go pretty well too.

most of the pumps on the alaska pipeline are powered by turbo single rotor motors. They are good generator motors
