IDW Regular Member Group: Members Posts: 210 Member No.: 253 Joined: Feb 19th 2003 Location: vegas | The GT-R has the rb26dett, the Mazda 787B that won in LeMans used a four-rotor engine called the R 26b. I'm guessing that the R is there because it is a racing engine. Go here for more knowledge: http://www.monito.com/wankel/lemans.html |

IDW Regular Member Group: Members Posts: 210 Member No.: 253 Joined: Feb 19th 2003 Location: vegas | If it would only fit. You would probably have to cut into your firewall, its literally two 13b's connected front to end! Sounds like a good idea for a MR kit car tho'. Imagine a 4-rotor MR track monster based on a Tommy Kaira ZZII rolling chassis, That would be it! |

IDW Regular Member Group: Members Posts: 210 Member No.: 253 Joined: Feb 19th 2003 Location: vegas | Only way to know is with a compression check. If it's too low and you need new seals or something a rebuild kit can be bought. Kit ~1200.00 Rebuild video ~30 bucks ... If not a Mazda dealership would do it for a mear $5000.00 A rotary shop should do it for alot less, though I've seen prices as low as 2k. |
