going rotary need help

[djaztek12]

going rotary need help can any 1 help how dificult is to mount the motor on the 510 crossmember or just to do the whole swap can any 1 help . thanks again

[nick_m]

probably easier to get a front cover from one of the earlier motors that has the mount off the front cover, then make another crossmember further forward of the standard one. Thats how i've seen it done.

Sounds like you haven't done your research yet. Enjoy the l motor for a while. At least until you have saved enought to do the swap right. So far I haven't seen one clean rotary swap. There messy looking with wires all over the place.

i would love to keep my L serious motor but is shot the head has a bent valve the # 4 cylinder has severe damage so now i have even bored out more the whole block and then have it re sleeve and the cheapest i found to rebuild the motor with new parts and re valve the head the guy wanted between $ 1500 to $2000 depending on parts , so thats why i just decide to go rotary and when i say that i got for a real good price i mean it was 1 of those real good deals. hate to doit but ones i get the car running i will upload some pictures

thinking of going eithere going Ka24 or Sr20

Now Rotary??????

 

I see a pattern from L16 too one of these motors..

Find a L motor for cheap!!!!!!Install it 1st.

 

We really dont know your ability.

 

I had my 510 10 years before I finally rebuilt a motor and learned the in/out and certain quirks ones needs to know to make a clean non leaky reliably motor.

 

 

If the neihboor will do it maybe?????????? But even a free moto is going to cost you so how much money for part do you have as alot of 510 owners I have meet a one step away from being throw out of their house and car will GO to the dump which I have seen all to often in my 20yrs of datsun Ownership

[philcas1987]

Carburated eh? If its a 12a don't waste your time.

[djaztek12]

actualy i have both a 12a n a 3b i have a 12a in my rx7

[philcas1987]

If you are going to do it get the maddat kit. A modded 13b is plenty qwick. Do it right. I think it would be awesome car.

[djaztek12]

thanks ima do the 13b been is a new better in bigger then my 12a

this is a good example of a rotary 510 done right, this is the cleanest and neatest rotary 510 i've seen! here's a pic,

this swap is not a front mount, its mounted right on the original crossmember slightly modified

[djaztek12]

what ever you could get will be fine all of the rotary motors i seen bolt on in the front thats great if u have a late model 13b. I have 1 of the new 94 model these bolt on the side instead of the front.

Hey bro. This swap can be done. But its a complete and utter nightmare. If your hearts set on it than do it. But man i cant emphasise the word nightmare enough. Fucking nightmare to be exact.
