Rotary Conversion

[Lewis]

Has anyone got any info on rotary conversions into an AE86? Preferably 13b. Yes i know it's just about heresy.

dont get any idea about 20b, isnt going to happen unless u want to convert the car to LHD, exhaust protrudes on the steering rack or somthing like that

[Brendo]

dont have any info on it, if your goin to interbreed toyota, rotor is prob the best way to go tho

If I was going to cut up an AE86 and put an engine in that didn't belong the only conversion I would feel confortable with is a rotary. I would NEVER do the Nissan thing but a Mazda rotary I think it would be good choise. When I was working at a workshop here in Brisbane a few years ago we fitted a 13B into a TA22 Celica. If I remeber it turned out really well and was easier than what I would imagine a 20valve conversion would be. It was carbureted and ran a points ignition so that side of things was kept simple. We used a Mazda RX7 5 speed gearbox and the biggest drama was making a gearbox crossmember. As I remember it was great on the road and went really hard.

might cause abit of a uproar but.....

[Hen is a total nutcase]

13Bs are tiny (as you can see from the above photos).

Buy onewith box, weld engine and gearbox mounts up, get a custom tailshaft and your done.*

* Some glossing over of the truth done here, but I still think it's a simple-ish conversion. Only sticking point might be shifter position??

well supra gearbox adapters are cheap as for rotors, so why not use a W55 and then be able to use a standard engine mount, standard shifter hole and an unmodified tailshaft. Imagine how easy that would be.
