There are a lot of disadvantages to a rotary engine for regular driving conditions but for racing...it is awesome

Thanks Ted, I wrote him a few lines and we´ll see what is he going to say.

I´m in love with the rotary engines... I mean the sound and all that power out of 1300ccm!!!

Did you see the 3-Rotor Turbo egine for sale under 'complete race engines'? That should perk up your project, 1000hp at only $48.00 per pony.

What dimensions do you need exactly? As a matter of fact, I have a shop manual for an RX-7 that's about an arm reach away.

Are you researching the 13B or Renesis b/c you are intrested about the cumbustion engine as God intended or are you looking to trade in your pistons for something of a different flavor?

Let me know what you need and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Like what? Adding oil more often and fuel consumption? The only disadvantage I found was that there is usually always traffic ahead of me! My RX7 wasn't the fastest car ever - but the smiles per mile was higher than any other vehicle I have ever owned. By far it was the most fun car to drive whether it be to the grocery store or at an event.

The only downside was the exhaust note. Fire belching aside, it sounded like a Harley Davidson going thru puberty.

Thanks Carlos, great site.
Giancarlo, I´m looking for the dimensions of the 13B-REW engine. Just the engine without the transmison and that stuff.
