rotary
does anyone have some good info on rotary miatas.ive look up Mazsport.net
just thinking of putting in a 13b and carbing it. |
Why bother?
|
motor makes good power.tranny is stronger.plus i can get a whole swap for$200.00
|
Yay, for a POS engine with no torque. Makes perfect sense to me.
|
does anyone have some good info on rotary miatas.but ya it does look underpowered.i thought they made aroun 220 bhp.turns out only 160 :td:
maybe 13b twin turbo will be more sensible. |
it can be done, i've seen a few swaps over on "the net" but unless you've got crazy goals in mind, both the 1.6 and 1.8 are really great starting points

Really though, if you want a rotary, get an RX7. Then you can drive it for a while and swap in a SBC.:D |

maybe 13b twin turbo will be more sensible. 13b while in it's stock condition doesn't make much, it does make more than the miata and has gone farther I'd say than a 1.6 certainly has. |

Actually you're better off with an auto, much less effort, the clutch hydraulics are a bitch. Been there, done that. I suppose on the T56 with a hydraulic TO bearing it's probably not so bad, just a matter of matching up the master bore to the slave...
Where was I going.. Oh yeah, rotaries + boost = bad things M8. |
Well, that depends on what you want the car for. Autos are great for drag racing, but pretty much suck with any other form of motorsport. You have to buy an upgraded clutch master and make a custom clutch line, but it's not that difiicult to do either.
Truth be told though, if i was going to build a daily cruiser, i'd put the auto in. the 4L60E is a damn good transmission. :) |

Philip do you have any pics of your RX7 or a list of mods done to it?and why you hate rotarys so much.
|
Because they suck.
I might have some pics around somewhere still. |
Ah, missed the "been there done that" part in your previous post. That's cool that you've done the swap. As for the clutch master, i'm just going off of conventional forum wisdom (for what that's worth, heh.)
And yeah, by "custom clutchline" i didn't mean anything more than what you said. You just can't use either stock line (for obvious reasons). See if you can dig up some pics, i'd be interested to see them. :) You did an FD or an FC? |

^^^lol I was looking for that one too lol
