I know they are a WIDE motor but...
Has it been done?
Is it possible?

[atari4x4]

i reckon it would be nearly unpossible....

can i ask why?

[dono1]

Free 2L impreza motor and gearbox + my other swb i'm building needs a new engine.

[Fatzook]

Anything is possible if you have the budget and skills.

But it would just be the start of the mods. Not a single remaining part of the driveline would withstand that sort of power and torque.

EDIT: NA EJ20 is only 100kw. Should be ok if you drive nice.

sell the boxer & put the money towards a G16

[alien]

^^ dont listen to them... do it!!! =)

[mnemonix]

Boxer engine would have to be wider than the clearance between chassis rails? Measure it up, I'd be amazed if it would fit but would love to see the potential.

[sideways]

The tyres would rub on the heads on full lock.

[Scrawny]

Won't fit. The engine and gearbox would sit too high to work in the tunnel. You'd have to somehow mate another gearbox to it as well

[Jackson]

Moar body lift

[Cozook]

Mid engined...

[dank]

I think Gwagen has done the measurements and confirmed it to be impossible to fit into the engine bay for what would be a suitable conversion. Just put a commodore motor in you know you want to .

[dono1]

I'd rather out in a 1L than a commodore motor!!!!
Time to get a g16b. My mate has an auto lwb bit for sale at the right price, will the auto fit in a swb sierra??

use the drive train from the subaru & make it AWD

It's gonna need a pretty big ruf and chassis extension to make that work

[datso]

An EA81 or EA81T motor should fit been much narrower pushrod etc.
I fell in love with the older pushrod subey engines due to their indestructibility and power when supercharged.
A speedway one blew away Fontana and top racers years ago on methanol and a hillclimber did the same to much more sophisticated bike engined setups on a few QLD hillclimb events.

It fits well in a Suzuki Hatch FWD and RWD toyota W series box adapter are available for RWD only or for Toyota running gear 4wd.

[Trypt]

Dont conform and put a g16 in. Do the boxer and make it the meanest sounding sierra on the planet

[atari4x4]

flat 4's sound like a soggy harley.

quad rotor is where it's at, sounds like a F1 engine & shoots flaming bees & hornets out the exhaust .

Pretty sure the flames are from something like a bee*r rev limiter

[atari4x4]

considering it's running an aftermarket ecu, i doubt they'd tack on a bee-r limiter, but yeah it would be an ignition cut rev limiter. the big fire balls is just unburnt fuel getting ignited in the exhaust from when he lifts off.

[Trypt]

why not go all out and chuck a 6 rotor in it in that case. good luck with engine longevity

[atari4x4]

a rotor if looked after like anything mechanical will last, 2 mates have rotors that were built in the early 90's & neither of them have had any of these so called "longevity" issues, one is a 12a extend port & turbo & the other is a 13b bridge port.

[Trypt]

my point was. a rotary in a 4wd is kinda pointless. just like a diesel in a sierra

[atari4x4]

why's that, cause they have no torque?

[atari4x4]

the link is broken to the dyno sheet i posted but this was in the youtube thread

Rotaries have torque

i call BS, on that one... they have a very flat torque curve.

700+ lb of torque from essentially a 1.3l
http://www.madazmotorsport.bravehost.co ... 2-2008.jpg

A 13b is the equivalent to a 2.6l piston engine due to the greater displacement per revolution. If I read this right
http://www.drivingsports.com/site/2008/ ... uivalency/

If I use the HP calculation of torque x rpm / 5252, working back from that Dyno sheet that car is producing max HP at around 1800 rpm. If that is correct that its heaps of torque and I will eat my own words.

ha i researched the shit out of this a while ago, might have even posted some links in the rotor in a sierra thread... they have more pull across a larger rev range and I think even starting lower? maybe? than a g16.

[atari4x4]

i agree shakes, that was my attempt at sarcasm, really should have used the sarcastic font

[Trypt]

The dont they idle at 2g?
I think you will find that any rotary making good power AND torque from down low will be lumpier than a stroker and there for pointless in a 4wd.

Bye

yeah maybe when peripheral ported

stock 13b it will idle around 1000rpm

subi engines are a very awsome motor as fatzook said it would be a massive job but it would be fricken awsome if u could pull it off
