DatsunMotorSports Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Not against your idea, but have you looked into Mazda Rotary pickups? You know a Ford Courier with a 12A? They are pretty cool as another option. Link to comment
Jon Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 If I am able to make 450hp or more and can actually get it to hook up, I am sure there are a lot of guys out there that would have some hurt feelings off the line. Being able to autocross it as well would be hard to do though. Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 you do know that the failure rate in a rotary on first start up is 30% ? And they have no torque And are very expensive to rebuild Link to comment
izzo Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 No I have not considered those. I am new to the Rotary style vehicles and am still learning. Thanks for the info I will look them up. Jon, mazda REPU's are hard to find. I know where about 10 or so are sitting, all for sale (was last told 650 with title.) PM me if you think you want to go that route. Link to comment

And they have no torque And are very expensive to rebuild Yup , and even the oversea's professional builders are lucky to have 30-40% success on "rebuilt" rotorary engines ( I use to own an 81 RX-7 ,,, Def a car you have to drive to understand ;) Link to comment
Duncan Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Trying to find someone that might have a project vehicle or even a completed vehicle, either way I would like to try and find a 13b turbo EFI. After getting the vehicle I would like to build it up to hurt peoples feelings. There has been a rotary 510 wagon off and on CL Los Angeles over the last few months. It looks clean from the pics, and the price was around $4k-ish if I recall. It doesn't appear to be selling (I don't think there's many Datsun fans who like the rotary motors) and it pops up there every couple of weeks. Link to comment

DatsunMotorSports Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Rotary motors as designed by Wankel were not designed to be "rebuilt". They suffer from chrome like seal surfaces that must be reconditioned or replaced. Its a precision chrome surface so reconditioning it is a major problem. Unfortunately the replacement of these parts is the equivalent of replacing the whole engine block or motor. Your best bet it to find a company that has a really good reputation. There is company that does complete rebuilds based down in Southern California. I used them a couple years back for a 13B turbo II. They rebuilt the engine back to original specs like it was brand new and also did some port work. I remember the cost being quite high as well. If I can find the name of the shop Ill post it up, but I think the 510 in the ebay add above cost less than one of those rebuilds. Link to comment
Radim Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Fast Freddy's in Santa Ana? I live like 3minutes from them. :P Tons of RXs sitting outside the shop, devoted Rotary shop. Also a local Weber retailer who tunes all Webers. Link to comment
