HY. I have a Datsun B210 (120Y) which I like, no RX3's around so I will make it my rotary rocket. It has lowered suspension (2 1/2) inches, koni shocks, 13X8 wheels w/ 215 50 13 tires, looking for 235/50/13 tires for the rear, but my concern is that my A15 engine is in trouble and instead of rebuilding it I would like to install a 13B engine (with the RX7 gearbox) into my car, it would be faster and my love for rotaries will be my excuse. Anybody has performed this transplantation before? I an totally decided. I am about to get a used engine and transmission and install it. Onced accomplished, I will rebuilt that engine, but I plan to drive it with dellortos or Weber carburators , at least at the beginning. I have a nice Datsun 180B(610) in excelent shape, that is my next project, a 20B engine . But later on, as of now , the 13B for the B210. By planning a Weber or Dellorto carbie, I avoid the computer expense, later on, at rebuilding time, I will get into a computer and turbo, but the rotary with carburators is fun too. Help me out, I live in US, but any comments are well appreciated no matter where you are, because rotary engines rock around the world.

Cheers.

Jaime

 

Theres a **** load of 210s on the track with rotarys...



Where are you located at?

 

Hey Jaime,the mighty 120y hey. Man there must be about 100 of those bloody things in each wrecking yard in Australia!! There's a guy over here that's done that conversion although his is the turbo version 13B. I've got a mag with the story but I've have to hunt it down. I know it ran12.5's down the quarter!

 

Hy buddies. I have the B210 that is going to scare a lot of wannabies around. I live in Long Beach, California. Any magazzine articles, photos, info on B210's(120Y) w/ rotary power is needed. I am serious and will make my 120Y the embarraser of the other drivers. What is that, a 120Y? dude, whats going on , it is passing me, no!. Sorry , but this scenario will be very common with my rotary B210. By the way, I also need australian bumpers and the rear valance for my B210, any info , let me know, american B210's have ugly big bumpers(already in the trash) , and the car has no rear valance. Let me know.

Jaime the B210 rotary man.

 

I guess my B210 is not a popular idea here, that is fine, I'll go away w/it, but I will not drop it, someday you guys will see a rotary B210 and then you will remember that guy in the club who...................

 

Do you have a pic, i don't know which car you are talking about.
