Rotary
 
So who knows what about putting in a rotary?

zen March 9th 2007 12:15

do some searches on it. there used to be quite a bit of conversation on it but most seem to be going Suby these days if not staying in the family.

I pulled it off with a 12a but it was short lived. I am switching to SOHC ej25

rotary
 
the kit from kennedey clutches is 400. and i think you have to run a radiator, which means some water pipping work. if your gonna do it, do the turbo rotary. it would be impressive to see it done.

I read about the subject me too and it appears to me that the hardest parts are the wiring and the rebuilding/porting of the motor.

For the wiring, someone told me that if you keep the Stock EFI, you need to keep the original cluster because it wont works without it. Now, I checked and may be a Megasquirt can solve the problem, but again, the problem is to make it running well with the rotary. If you choose to go in carb'd mode, youll have to buy a new intake manifold and a carb setup. I heard many times that the setting of carb with rotaries are PITA so they recommend to go with the Holley Kit that is ready to install and already setted for 6 ports (N/A) and non ported 13B.

The radiator and piping is not hard at all. Only the calibrating of the thermostat is touchy and that's all.

The rotary is so beyond simple, and easy to rebuild if you have attention to detail and specs! The eccentric shaft rotates 3 times for every 1 reverse rotation of the rotors.

Popper seating and spring tension of the ol control rings and apex seals are very important.

Porting on the rotary is akin to changing the cam, valves and rocker ratio on the boingers (piston engines).

I love the rotary, and am thinking about building a Turbo leaf blower bug!

That's just ridiculous, I have never seen a van come off the ground like that unless it had a V8 in it. Amazing!
