Who knows with everything? Usally isn't the motor or the trans set up. Never seen anyone sell the whole thing. Also depends on the year.

Ok some more details then is the trans a manual or auto? If it's a manual then not alot. 4 cylinder t-5s are cheap. I'm in need of another 1 though so if you decide it's not made out of gold pm me.

The motor depends because of the turbo and injector if you had an 86svo motor then you have a t-3 60/63 with 35pd injectors. The 88 should have 35 pds injectors with the small ihi turbo. I'd guess around 400 or so depnding could be higher or lower.

Let me get this straight you ran a 13.9 with a 2.3t in a samuri? Seriously you should do some mods to it rather then stick a wankle in it. Besides the rotaries are to fragil to have that much fun with.
Watching them at the track is a joke they have like a 50/50 shot they ever leave the line then about a 20 percent chance they will have a good run.
Are you the same guy I met out at sunshine at latin night? We had a couple of 2.3t mustangs running in the 7's out there. The 2.3t pinto also runs in the 7's.

I would like to hear the reasoning of why you would get rid of an already swapped 2.3t for a rotary?

Video - 4cyl svo vs 04 cobra

The black car is mine. The samurai with a 2.3t must be alot of fun. I just get so tired of the rotaries at our local track that i'd lend a hand just to save my ears. Not sure about the ones in your area but the one over here are mostly a joke. A few run well but they blow up and shit all the time. I heard that this year they are being required to have engine blankets because of all the fluids they leave on the track.
