MX-3.com

Ok - is it possible to swap in a rotary engine to a mx-3?<P>If it is possible, what would be required to do so? Has anyone done it? I have little to no knowlage about the internal workings of either types of engines, but if it's possible, I definitly want to try it (eventually hehehe, need some money first lol).

it can be done and it has been done. but your gonna need some serious cash (an estimate on how much, i have no clue) as youll probably need to change almost everything engine related to your mx-3.<BR>but hey if you ever come up with that kind of cash dont just change it for some normal rotary engine from a rx-7. get the tri-rotatry engine. i dont think the later has been done yet.

What are the advantages and disadvantages if someone doesn't mind?

i dont mean to bust you bubble but buy an rx-7.....<BR>if you want a rotory...or a new rx-8<P>you need every thing custom from ecu harness, engine, tranny rear drive shaft, rear end...new suspension, cusom dash or rewire guages, <BR>plus isnt a 1.3L rotory a technily a 4banger...wrong forum<P>jason

youre looking at a minimum of 12,000 dollars. Go buy yourself a 2nd gen RX-7 if you want a Rotary.

A rotary FWD has been done, by of course some crazy Aussie. However, in general rotaries have to be RWD. Which would by no stretch of the imagination be quite expensive, and out of the realm of the V6 performance forum. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

I would have to agree with crev8 mx3.

screw buying an rx-7!! If i had that much cash I would love to swap a TT rotary engine into an mx3!! The ultimate sleeper....People that really know their cars will see an rx-7 and know their roll and SHUT THEIR MOUTH...but someone sees an mx-3 and laughs...then the TT mx3 would put them in their place.....Just my opinion.

dont forget a full doze of extacy,,,
that would definitely help you make that decision,,,
I also believe you're better off buying an RX7 and spending your money and build a crazy RX7 than the MX3 TT RWD idea ,,,,!!
