Anyone have pics of rotarys swapped in? Specifically a turbo one? Looking to see how much clearance there is in the engine bay.

theres quite a bit of room around the engine from what i remember seeing. theres a guy from upstate new york there somewhere with a daily driver 2 tone black and red top ext. cab with a carbed rotary non turbo. was talking to him at a local car show in ontario here this summer (scrape by the lake). i told him about the site, but dont think he made it on yet. the size of the engine itself is small, its all the routing of your exhaust/turbo stuff that will take up space. i'll have to see when i get my desktop compu back running, i got some pics of it.

I'd be keen to see the pics too. I'm planning exactly this at the moment though I'm in Aussie. Cheers.

There's a good amount of room for the turbo version to fit in the bay, it's what I have in mine. I can get better pics if needed.

That looks killer! Any performance specs on it? It's not to often you see performance minis I love it

The motor came out of a 87 Rx-7 turbo II on a heck of a deal. Performance specs: ported manifolds, ported an polished throttlebody, throttlebody mod, 550/720 injectors, Rtek 2.0 (soon 2.1), Stock turbo(for now), Pineapple Racing medium streetport, Ported twinscroll & wastegate, 3"dp/full exhaust, all emissions removed, Walboro 255 fuel pump, Volvo Fmic, 16"e-fan, HKS ssqv bov. Still needs tuning which I'm working on. Most recent run was a 17.5 thru the quarter which is already better considering the weight the truck has over a stock rx.

Thanks for the replys guys. Killerb could you get a pic from the side and how much clearance is there from the hood to the engine? Im looking to see how much room there is to stuff 3 rotors under the
hood:)
