Dpulse here,I was constantly being prodded for a post so here it is. I am a toyota fan (yea yea blasphemy). I used to own a 1989 Rx7 convertable 5spd but got rid of it because at the time a rotary totally freaked me out and still does. I had/have/had afriend who constantly rips on imports. My most unfavorite line from him is there is no replacement for displacement. I have never ever believed this addage. A rotary seems to be an exception to the rule although the low torque is a major buzz kill and I am warry of high reving engines(have a d16z6 and aint likin' it as much as much as a 5sfe, yea yea loony.). After finally gettin an 87 ae86, I had a strict criteria for an engine swap and the 4 engines that fit the bill was the silver top,a CCE(not even available), the vortec 2800 out of a Colorado, or a 12a/13b/t. The rotary's potential kinda edged out the others. The CCE was eliminated because it may not be availible for years to come. So.. The more I learned about rotaries the more interesting it got. That pulse, its diminutive size & large hp potential. Have a few pals with rotary toyotas and the favorite passtime is walkin round the garage making rotary sounds. I have a new found respect for such an amazing piece of technology. Most of what I want to ask has been answered. Only problem is s4 or s5 both dead even for pros and cons. coin toss time.
