S14 with a rotary.

Found it interesting. May be a repost... I didn't see it though. |

LOOKS GOOD BUT....(I made 400whp and 280tq.) WAKES ME WONDER WHY, BESIDES THE COOL FACTOR.
HE HAD AND SR IN THERE BEFORE, AND IM SURE IT MADE MOAR TORQUE THAN THAT. |

Exactly the first thing that popped in my head...400whp and 280 ft/lbs is kinda cake walk for SRs. Other than the cool factor and making the car a bit more balanced due to the lighter nose, I dont see any advantage over an SR.

I thought up this idea once when I was toying with swapping out my SR for something new once. Then realized it was basically useless besides the "oh... cool" factor.
Still, nothing wrong with being original

How come only 400whp? That thing has dry sump and a big ass turbo... You should be able to rev the shit out of that rotary especially with a dry sump setup to spool that thing. Is there a post with more information on it like a dyno graph or how much boost they are running?
That is a straight up awesome swap and it was done well. That Precision 61 shouldn't be short at 400whp as the 67s go to like 700whp on supras.... I know different league, but the airflow should still be there. |

I suppose if you really want to make a Nissan less reliable, this is one way to go about it.
Not really my thing, but hey, if they like it, then good for them.

I am actually considering a 3 rotor in the S15 when I blow up the RB26. Of course I would be looking at the 1100-1200 HP range on a set up like that. Rotaries are cool motors that really don't get a fair shake some times. Can't say that the idea is original but it never loses cool factor when you just up and do it.

If it was a shop that did it chances are they had a blown 13B (common ) and a bare shell lying around (not too hard to come by) and thought why not? Rebuild and swap...

great for originality...but swaps are meant for 2 things... more power (or potentially more) and better reliability... and with that try to be as original as possible... my opinion is that they lost a huge part of that equation and thats reliability
definitely original and sweet looking... just a pain in the ass to maintain... |

I've seen that car in person, and the car is uber clean, swap uber clean. Driver is still learning the car, had some trouble kicking it out at the last event here.
but it sounds amazing...

N/A rotories are reliable, but turbo's seem to be cyanide for them. a 20b would be crazy as hell in a S-chassis though!
