Brumby build with a difference
yeah - that was a dig at Paul - he wants my H6 for his outback - was trying to make him offer me more money if he thinks I want to keep it for myself
I don't really want a H6 - they are too long for the Brumby engine bay too. I know you can squeeze them in but I am just going to stick with an EJ motor.

??? Eh? Rotary wont fit ?? Its already been done before Ken - so it must fit in there.niterida wrote:well the dreams are over - the rotary won't fit
now on the lookout for a decent turbo subie motor or maybe a good H6 ??
Take a Time out and maybe get a few opinions as to how to proceed.
Cripes some folks have dropped in H6's so how does a tiny mazda fizzer not fit ?
Please show and tell
I so want this to complete !

AFAIK it has been done to only one other MY car - not sure how he did it as I (nor anyone else) have seen photos of it.1111giles wrote:??? Eh? Rotary wont fit ?? Its already been done before Ken - so it must fit in there.

But I can tell you an EJ motor is approx 400mm long, an EZ H6 is only about420mm and the rotary is about 530 !!
It will physically fit but then it doesn't leave room for a decent radiator or FMIC and I am not prepared to mount the radiator in the rear or modify the radiator support panel.

One of the old forum members here shoved a 13B into an MY coupe. It was blue, but I'm guessing the changes you've made to the floor pan could be the difference.niterida wrote:well the dreams are over - the rotary won't fit

Bummer.

Yeah that was kwijmbo - been in touch with him last year but he hasn't responded to any PM's lately.El_Freddo wrote:One of the old forum members here shoved a 13B into an MY coupe. It was blue, but I'm guessing the changes you've made to the floor pan could be the difference.

Floor changes shouldn't make any difference as the gearbox should still be in the same location to get the wheels in the centre of the wheel arches.
If I get a chance next week I will bolt everything up to the chassis to make sure my measurements are correct.
But lets face it rotary or STi its still gonna be quick

I believe there may be an easy solution - get a new pair of eyes !!B00sting wrote:That sucks mate.
Hopefully there is a solution.
I was in the shed for another reason this morning and I thought I would just have another closer look. It turns out that even though I measured the length of the rotary over and over again I still got it wrong. Its only 430mm, not 530mm, so its virtually the same length as an EJ.
Still going to be a tight fit though.

Other remedy is to lose the gear box, move the rotor and its gearbox back and just go rear wheel drive...????
