i have been a honda guy for a long time and i just found a toyota with a 13 b and i drove it and really like it but i was wondering what r the pros and cons of a rotary engine. because my honda is reliable but i like the toyota but dont want to get my self into a mess. engine 1000 miles on rebuilt motor.

Run away, run very far away.....
First of all Rotaries are not reliable ESPECIALLY if it's a 13b-rew (3rd Gen rx-7 Motor) For one you should really do some research on these engines so you know what you are getting yourself into because the chances of that swap being done correctly is very very bad. First of all see who did the swap and try and find out if they are reputable of any type of auto work. Also get a compression check as everyone on here will tell you to do.

What kind of Toyota is it?

AcidicFate · 07-22-2008, 10:27 PM

Yea.. go with sleeping7.

So i can run to it. I require more info on this Toyota with a 13B.

tito_12a · 07-22-2008, 11:20 PM

toyota with a 13b, sounds like something owned by a rican.
the 13b is probably n/a. its not hard to swap a 13b into an older toyota, it gets done all the time in PR.

Im willing to bet that its either a corolla(E70) or starlet(KP61).

silverhonda217 · 07-22-2008, 11:23 PM

it is a n/a 13b and its in a 87 ae86 and i know who did the swap and he is well known

tito_12a · 07-23-2008, 08:28 AM

if you do buy it, then prepare to get some really shitty gas mileage.

silverhonda217 · 07-23-2008, 10:00 AM

well i though about it last night and i think iam going to go for it iam just really tired of front wheel drive i ll probably get it today i will post some pics

tito_12a · 07-23-2008, 11:42 AM

yeah, post pics.
is there anything done to the motor ?

EnsenCorp · 07-23-2008, 02:18 PM

I think I know the car he is talking about. Is it completely stripped? No emissions, low 7 second 1/4 mile car with gallons of nitrous force-fed down it's throat?

If you've answered yes to any of the above, stay away from this ae86 my friend

1sleeping7 · 07-23-2008, 11:26 PM

zomg nitrous and rotary's do not mix well, if it is the car Ensen is talking about then my god run away because if the seals aren't blown then the rotor housings have been eaten to shreds...

Niburu · 07-24-2008, 07:54 AM

Back in the day (the 80's in NY) RX-7's got stolen often for the engine and it usually wound up in a Corolla or a Datsun of some sort.
So those kinda swaps are not all that unusual to find especially considering the craptastic power the original motors in those cars put out.

EnsenCorp · 07-24-2008, 09:34 AM

Oh no, the swap would be pretty bad ass if this ISN'T the car I'm thinking of........and if said motor wasn't rebuilt once a week

sharingan 19 · 07-24-2008, 08:39 PM

I wanna see these pictures...and some specifics on the motor/build would be nice as well

1sleeping7 · 07-27-2008, 02:48 AM

I know that the engines did end up in a lot of old nissans ans toyotas BUT I am just saying that he needs to be really careful because half the time swaps like that aren't done right or just aren't taken care of by the owner and he could be paying for a piece of crap.

silverhonda217 · 07-29-2008, 12:44 PM

I Did Buy The Car And Have Been Driving It For A Couple Days Its Not The Car Ensen Is Talking About. I Will Be Posting Pics Soon. The Car Runs Good There R A Few Mods To The Engine Noting Real Major. It Has A Four Barrel Holley, The Intake And Exhaust Ports Have Been Bored, A Performace Clucth, And 4-10 Gears In The Rear End. Pics Coming Soon
