Sweet! What kind of grunt is it putting to the wheels? |

Thanks.220 rwhp. Limited by injectors and fuel pump. If upgrade these can get 280 then standard wastegaste will become an issue. But for a weekender 220 is plenty enough for me. |

Interior build pics. 3mm ply with bracing here and there. I made all this and had a friend who is an auto upholster wrap it in leather. I did the door trims myself in vinyl with a heat gun but because of the stitching needed for the dash and centre console etc I thought it would be better to palm this off as I dont have a industrial sewing machine and the leather is very thick. The staple holes, pin holes and screws were all smoothed off before upholstery was done and ply was sealed with 2pac paint. Also the 3 gauge hole surround pieces had body filler used to blend into console.

DRiproject- Cheers mate. Yeh I had the side on pic with the 15" stockie wheels up on photoshop and played around with a few different wheels, very happy with wheel choice 17" and I dont think they look huge (height wise). Of course the car was dropped on its sills in those photos Imago - cheers, I wouldn't recommend doing it the way I have done. The fitting of the motor was easy it was the stuffing around to make the door trims as light as possible out of ply all hollowed out at the back and using the original clipping system with four added screws at each corner for extra support which was a lot of work not worth the hassle. I used toyota corona electric motors which had a scissor action (same as datto) and cut and shut motor mounts to datsun scissor mechanism. I found also at the wreckers older Mazda 626 used same motors and scissor mechanism. So I have a few spare motors at home as I only did the front doors, my way wouldn't work with back doors. Also the original datto doors needed extra bracing to cope with the force of the motors and microswitches.

Nice car mate and i like the rotary ! I'm tossing up a few engine conversion ideas for my project at the moment and the 13b is one that keeps popping up. Is it a hard engine to fit, do you have to modify the firewall or transmission tunnel at all ? I'm toying with the idea of a N/A 13B Bridgeport as the car will only ever be a weekend car. |

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will try get some more photos up soon. Matt1600 regarding fiittng the 13b Keg. Length wise is shorter then the in-line 4 cylinder so obviously your okay there. But the Keg is quite wide. The only way I could see to mount a rotary into the Datsun 1600 is to front mount the engine. Series 4 and later engines use side/bottom mounting originally. So you have to swap the front timing cover off a earlier rx7 with front mounting mounts, easier enough to do. Also remove the mounts form original 1600 crossmember. I made the engine and g/box mounts myself years back (I think I overkilled with these, when I can be bothered I will trim some metal off and cut some holes to lighten them up a bit). I know Maddat have 13b/13bturbo engine and g/box mounting kits available now. Not sure how low and close to the firewall there kits sit. Do you have to modify the firewall or transmission tunnel at all? yes will need to definitely modify tunnel by making up new section, and you will also need to slightly modify or make up a piece to clear clutch slave/clutch lever near tunnel opening in firewall. (as the clutch slave is mounted on L/H top side of engine). Datsun clutch master operates Mazda clutch slave no problem there. The exhaust on a rotary is on the opposite side to Nissan 4 cylinder. So I remade all the fuel and brake lines on the opposite side of car (L/H). Also as the exhaust is on the opposite side of car you will need to make custom extractors to clear steering box/arms (I still have the extractors I made 2" going into 2 1/2" stainless steel if you are interested only done about 600km discoloured from heat). You will also need to mount a electric fuel pump. Best to make up surge tank setup. Also if your going bridgeport i have been told by a member on this forum you will need to run premix in the fuel as the original oil metering pump cannot handle the revs a BP produces. He was selling his car recently maybe that might be an option for you. To get maximum power out of a bridgeport you need to have a good flowing exhaust if not you will be strangling power from it. You will probably get a lot of attention from the fuzz. Your car will chew a sh#tload of petrol and you will have to add say $10-$15 of premix to that. If you really want to go N/A, have you thought about fitting a RX8 renesis engine? I heard a couple of years back there were Rotary places in Eastern states fitting these to 808's, Capellas conversions etc. Anyway a few options if for you to think about. |
