I heard about these Rotary engines. They're supposed to be the engine of the future.

I don't think it'll fit in the bay?

Nah dude, it will fit, but it will throw off your 50/50 weight distribution.


On another another note, i bit the bullet on my tiny little turbo...

I guess ill throw a few pictures up.

I found where im going to relocate my coils, i will be making some sheet metal covers when im done.






Laying out my idea for where im going to relocate the tensioner. When the alternator is in this spot ive heard people have belt issues with the tensioner on the other side.

Well i know i dont ever post in here, but i will clean this thread up when i have time this summer. (when ill only work 45hrs a week and not be in school.)

But i thought this moment should be shared.

The first time this thing has been out of the garage since the start. It made it around the block under its own power.  :gruffy:





Im running N/A until i get my fuel system, rear end, and maybe intercooler figured out.

Your build is in line with what I want to do with my 91 vert.  How much did that turbo run you ?  Any plans thoughts on how you will be setting it up ?  Also someone mentioned that you will throw your 50/50 weight distribution... why would that impact it?  All of the extra plumbing etc?  Sorry for the many questions ... trying to learn as much as I can and this build really lines up with what I am thinking I would like to do.   :bacon:
