Cheers Brennan If your in VIC, scrub the idea of having it engineer approved. 12A would be the nearest option. But book an appointment with an approved engineer (from your state). They should be listed on the Road Authorities website. First appointment is generally free, and will be able to tell you within a few minutes whether it is possible or not. He simply takes max power figures from both engines, does a few calculations to see whether the power gain is within the allowable tolerance for your given car. Then from there if its possible you can run with it. If its not possible, he will advise on what your next available option is. Either way, if you want the conversion approved, you will have to be in talks with an engineer. So you will have to bite the bullet and see an engineer. May as well get the approval straight from the horses mouth. Edited January 4, 2008 by kangaroosa Quote
ae174agze Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 rotary's are expensive, engine mounts, cooling system, fule system, gearbox, gearbox crossmember, exhaust, probably custom tail shaft, u'd want a tough lsd diff, they'd make u do breaks , and you'll want stiffer suspennsiuon Quote
STARLET910 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Is it gonna be stock efi or A webber set up. what year did the 13B come out of. :wink: Quote
Jordan Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 what year did the 13B come out of. :D Some time in the 70's Jordan Quote
machg Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Wouldn't bother with a weber unless you are going for a largish port. 13Bs first came out in RX4's I think 1973 was the first model. A rebuilt 12a or 13b isn't cheap, and a non-rebuilt one isn't worth it. I own one and love it, but there are cheaper ways to get performance IMHO. Quote
sherlock Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 My mates got 12AT RX7 and thing goes. I reckon a 12A KE70 would fly courtesy of the power to weight ratio. 13B would be nuts...and most likely illegal :D Quote
