rotary in an e30. Sounds interesting, why though? IMO thats alot of work/money to have a less reliable motor. There are a lot of ways to get 260+ hp in an e30, i think swapping a turbo 13b is least logical. More props to you if you get it done- it would be unique.
truee i have a shop over here in NYC that is specialized in Rotary. the swap and labor is goin to be around $5000-$6000 since the motors+ tranny are at a decent price which is $1700-$2500 and it would only take up have of the engine bay VERus the M50,M30 motors... and thank you for answering my Diff question....
I really think the gearing you go with would depend on the turbo. With one like Matt's, you would want something like a 3.73 or 4.10 since it kicks in later, but with a smaller turbo that kicks in earlier you would want something with higher gearing. Does this sound right?
im still learning about gear Ratios if i do, do the swap i will do it between spring and summer. and it will be run stock on a stock turbo until i want more power thats why i stated 260 + hp
n also stock rotary motors like the one tha im thinking has more potential than you think. a friend of my had a non turbo 13b in his car and stated from factory i think 200hp and it could take out 350z and those are 280hp (just an example) on drag or highway..and those are highway cars if you ever encountered one.
