Coming from someone who owned 5 RX-7's, just don't.

Rotaries are typically swapped into cars that are a lot lighter than the donor rx7, like a spitfire or bugeye sprite. Aren't the second gen turbos about the same power as an m20b25? For the same amount of hassle, you could probably make more power with a turbo m20.

Thanks for the input... but in my country is very hard to find m20 it is cheaper to buy a 13bt coming drom fc3s s5... include manual gbox and ecm also wiring harness for just about half price of a m50 engine only...
And i think rotary will give me less trouble...
Can u help me to know what gonna be my prob or hassle for aplying 13bt?

I loved my rx-7's to death, which happened, because they break. Its a smooth lovely engine when it works, but the torque delivery and sound of a 12 valve inline six is just so much more enjoyable. Also the reliability now is just great, not having to always fearfully watch my water temp gauge is great.

Aahh i see.. i really get what u mean now...
Yeah i mostly agree with u...
But the thing is... very hard to find any m20 or even m50 here in my country
But i can find lots of rotaries here in a good price and it also comes with the tranny
So i might go with the rotary...

Bring it on!

Be sure to take plenty of photo's during installation process, should be a fun car once complete.
