Craven Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I don't know this goes here or some other place, but here go's. Has anyone thought of or put a Mazda RX-7 Rotary engine in a Subaru? Using an adaptor plate to keep the Subaru drivetrain. It seems the size and weight would fit nicely and power these things put out would be quite appealing.

themixtoo Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 This would be cool except when I worked at the local Mazda dealer RX owners did nothing but complain about the need for three cats to get those things to pass emissions. Maybe that's a mute point on this site, but where I come fromwe still have to keep the air clean every two years. Don't suppose any of you all have that kind of problem out there in those beautiful mountains where pollution does'nt reach that high:rolleyes:.

kingbobdole Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I know theres a rotary XT out there too. Its got a hole cut in the hood for the air cleaner, and its running a 12A. I would agree that old rotaries are EXTREMELY hard to get through E-tests. They are gross polluters, and dont get the best milage and they have no torque. I'd be unique but thats about it.

nhruby Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I have an RX-7. Don't do it. I hate that stupid thing. I put $4k into my Rex last year and drove it about 5 months of 12, hence me shopping for another Subaru. Really poor electonics and super picky mechanisms.
