is there a step by step thread explaining the 13B rotary swap into an older miata? or would someone please make one. im new to the whole rotary thing but it really interests me... plus im tired of FWD so im hoping this is what i will do.

 

I'm pretty sure there aren't many step by steps on anyhting that requires manual fabrication. If it was compatible to just swap they'd tell you how but I doubt that you'll find anyhting.

 

Also miatas are RWD and yif you knew enough to do a swap, you'd know that a swap wouldn't change the drivtrain layout. I think this is spam and should be deleted. I'll get some 2nd opinions.

 

i dont think this is spam i think its just an honest question, he wanted to know how to do a swap, maybe he did not do a good research or something like that and just wanted to know.

 

you are correct Tracker... you have won the grand prize of a good ol' virtual pat on the back (unless you wanna do that yourself haha).

this isn't spam... just a little confusion from the user.

 

If you're even considering getting a swap done and doing the fabrication yourself, you'd know that you car has RWD. >.< It's like me asking how to make a mac run windows. If even possible, I wouldn't know how to do it.

 

FIREHAZZRD might just not have known that, it just seems to me that just wanna do a swap, and just jumped the gun a not research as much as he should have cut him some slack it is his first post.

 

Rotary in a miata would be a very fast car.

I also think a rotary in an off-road jeep would be interesting as well. I own four very antique jeeps, and for offroading, the power to weight ratio of a rotary would make it spectacular at rock crawling. The downside might be the low rpm torque, but geared correctly....hmmm.

Rotaries are truly amazing engines...the equivalent of two v6's with only two rotors, no valves, and two spark plugs.

How about a rotary powered lawnmower?
