I don't think 4 rotaries will fit in the engine bay... By the way, I plan to swap a Honda Suzuka Spec V10 into my Evo, maybe we can race!1!!!!1!

Exactly my point... Something tells me that someone that doesn't realize it's a 4 ROTOR not a 4 rotary will never be able to find one let alone make the build happen.

DK, or should I call you Drift King? Do you have an extra 100K+ sitting around? Because that's probably about what it would take to even consider making this happen.

http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/pg03.htm Seeing that they stopped production plus the factor that the engine bay room would not support this motor with out tearing up the inside of your car or extending the front end about a foot and a half, i would love to see your progress if you actually manage to obtain the motor. I have never seen or heard of it being installed in a RX7 let alone a RX8

question: how much do you expect to spend on this project? Faith or not faith, you either can or cant afford it.

well first you should start by calling it 4 rotor, not 4 rotary.

second, you're talking about 50k for this kind of project because i don't think obtaining one would be anywhere near easy, so doing a custom job would be your only shot. was it like 10k for a custom e-shaft for the scoot fd?

idk, gl nalin.
