    wankle swap???

    Does anyone know if there has ever been a rotary swap in a first gen? I have seen a vid clip of a 3 rotor sentra or something like that. I know it would take some major customizing, but could it be done. First, could you mount it transverse. If not than could you mate it with a awd rear end and make a RWD protege? I am pretty sure I could fabricate a front subframe to hold it, so would the rx7 tranny fit under the pro? Lots of questions so little money.
    Too bad I have AWD and you don't!

          there were 2 other BF 323's that were done.

          One they did a complete customization and made it RWD with a 13b
          the other they did 12a FWD (Rx2,3,4) conversion.

          I used to have a link, I think it was talked about here..... gonna have to search a while.
          The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

              when I searched it pulled up like 3-4 threads each about 2-3 pages long.

              sadly there were3 main links, but 2 of the 3 seem to be dead now. The other 2 were really good if I remember correctly. oh well.... enjoy the wankel wagon.

                    I have always thought about doing a 13b swap but the money issue was stopping me. i do know where to get a 13b at a reasonable cost. www.osakajdmmotors.com. I think for a 13b its like 900 dollars shipped. if you do do it i want pics

                      from what I have read osaka is a rip off.

                        i bet a street ported 13B would kick my KLZE 323 ass and be lighter up front too. i'd love that swap in a stripped out 323 shell.
