20b.
if you're going to radically change this vehicle, at least keep it somewhat in line with it's pedigree and drop a rotary in there.

i vote for 20b as well, but the ls1 would probably be more practical for a daily driven application.

Ls6

Tipo F140C V12 lol.

and I think it would be cheaper to build too, but the sound of the 20B and turbo is priceless, Desicions Desicions :scratchhe

whatever one you decide on you will probably be thinking about the other. so since im a nice guy put one in your car and ill let you put the other in mine

20B. If i had to do it all over again i would go 20B every time. I do respect ls swaps and its a fact theres a lot of potential in them, but in my opinion RX's should be rotaries. And no, i dont mind. But put a newer pic please..

^^ ;) fixed, and you right Angel a rotary belongs in a Rx but you have a corolla with a rotary engine, doesn't a toyota engine belongs in a toyota car?? LOL, BTW your swap is an insparation for everyone in this forum!

I vote LS9

20b all day....i'm a purist. RX are and should be rotary's even if it cost an arm and a leg

Me too, but that'll run around $20k just for the engine. Not cheap.

^^ LS9 20k? yes thats out of the question

i say my idea is best, than you can do both and ill have a fast car. god im a nice guy

Good luck with your decision. Either way it will be awesome. Looking forward to seein which way you go.

Ls engines swaps are in everything---bmw's mercedes, s2000, porsche 968 and 944's etc, etc.
Its a really good engine.
However if anyone is going to spend this kind of money and time on an engine conversion---go with something special. Go with the 20B. I bet you will never regret it.
Everytime to fire it up you will be glad you did it. Everytime you drive it --you will be glad you did.
Not much uniqueness left in the automotive industry.
OD

20B as the handling will be better.

20B all the way.

20b

I'll echo the 20B.

Well, I guess I think Every car should have a rotary.. lol

20b =]

LS engines are great, but 20B all the way. That's my dream setup. If you're thinking LS, wouldn't it be more cost effective to get a used C5:icon5:

It all really depends on how much money you got. Lot's of people here say 20b, but 90% of them will never really be able to afford one. The overall cost to swap one in with a turbo to create the power your probably want is like 3x more than a ls swap.

Overall if it was a practicality thing, LSx swap all day. But if you want to be "cool" and got plenty of cash 20b then. But then you could do even better. Fuck the turbo and go 26b NA. Lmao

Does that mean I'm "Cool"?
