[bd1308]

I migth have the opportinity to get a free rotary engine (1.3L) 2-rotor motor. Apex seals are good from what I hear, which is good.

I checked my PMss,, and regarding mileage. I drove my converted car as a daily driver for 3 years in sucky Los Angeles traffic. Straight down the 110 from dodger stadium to Honda in Torrance. I drove in rush hour and the few times I kept my foot out of it I got combined mileage of 25 mpg. My set up at the time was a 13B streetport (= to a cam and PP) guestimated at 225 HP. I had a Holly projection 2D system. It ran sorta crappy,,,,

I used the Kennedy adapter plate,, it's an easy and proven system.

Just in case you haven't seen it, this rotary 914 page has some good info.

My front end looked crappy, anc I've tried different radiator configs,, and believe it or not I got by using a diesel rabit radiator. Air flow is the most important thing with a rotary install. The VW fan and shroud was up to the task of keeping my car cool for extended idles in traffic. And a descent flow of air past your radiator at speeds is a must.

Which mazda is your engine from?
