These may give you some ideas, pity there is no recent updates

not much sierra left in that one

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

with a skilled tuner it doesnt matter how aggressive the porting is, a 12a or 13b can idle smoothly at 800-900rpm one of my tradeschool lecturers lives and breathes rotors and has for 30+ years and has done it to many rotors including IDE carbed rotors. but apparently its quite the trick to get it right but is doable

Not a cool rotary unless its going "braap braap braap braap" and skipping sideways at idle.

he still gets the typical noise under throttle, and loves the stealth aspect of it

Thats nice.

ea81 will fit

[atari4x4]

so does a VN commodore motor.... still doesn't make it a good choice.

[dono1]

An ET pulsar motor (1.5L turbo) fits too but the starter hangs too low and the diff hits the starter motor on compression...

[datso]

The reason I say ea81 is thats its pushrod has heaps of usable torque and weighs a tad less than a G16b unlike the SOHC and DOHC units which weigh almost double a G13A. For some reason the SOHC. DOHC units are super heavy compared to the OHV which is also used for ultralights and renown for its durabilty, no belts to change or chains to weigh it down and simple pushrods to keep it all at intended rpm and service ability.

[tanshi]

looks like a shit load of effort for little to no gain.

[datso]

It would be different but still:
Realiability is superior,
ea81t turbo bits bolts on,
ea series is bullet proof
sits lower in engine bay
better torque (boost or not)
no timing belts or chains
stock internals stronger
sounds better

My pick would be a 1mm+ bore factory g13b GTI bottom end
ported g16a top end with bigger exhaust valves, supercharger,
SU, good pipes & adapted vitara box with matching Vit bits.

then you'd have to lower your drive train to suit... personally i think it's a stupid idea which ever way you try to polish that turd, just because it's a free engine doesn't make it a good idea.

[OMEGA]

rotor sound done right=schweeeet!!! subaaaroo noise done in anyway is like what atari said but more like a wet fart just before someone proper shits emself!

[KEENSY85]

Attari4x4 it only sits lower due to the enginebeing a boxter engine there not that tall until the later 1s,they used to keep the spare tyre on top of it under the bonnet ((im not taking the piss )

You wouldn't get the crankshaft any lower, there's still a diff in the way. Actually, just looking at that pic... The camshaft appears to be below the cank so it'l probably have to go higher to get diff clearance.

Finally! A use for SPOA

[banga]

do it subies all the way
