The sound I could see. And cost, maybe. But relaibility isn't an issue with no boost.

yeah i guess with no boost its a different story. But boost is addicting

Hell, he could REALLY get crazy with it....

Swap in a buick 3.8....Its been done.

and if that little V6 can push a 3600 LB car down the track in the high 9's, it sure as hell can make an X7 move out.

Proper 20b and dual 13b builds aren't in my price range. The only person ive ever spoken to about a four rotor build told me had was having an issue with apex seals expanding at high rpms and causing issues, this is already going to be an expensive project and i don't want to deal with a rebuild just because im learning. The only place i have found a kit for converting two 13b engines over to a single was 9 grand. Any rotary that i would purchase, i would rebuild before dropping it in, seals and gaskets for these motors aren't cheap. I'm not interested in pre mixing for reliability either. I chose an rx7 because of the handling, and ls1 doesn't hurt it that badly. Cosmos engines come stock with a sequential setup and cost about as much as a decent condition ls1, add on the exhaust manifold to convert to na , injectors, fuel management, streetport,etc. I may be missing stuff or looking into it a bit to much but i dont think a rotary swap is for me.

Here's a 4-rotor naturally aspirated FD:

Why anyone would want a V8 after hearing that is beyond me.
