Hi! After introducing myself HERE i wanted to get technical..

I need some specific info which i could not really find on the internet, so i figured to ask the guys who know all about these cars! Info is rare as this is something that has not been done before...

The plan:
Put a Rotary engine in the S2K chassis..
Not just any rotary, but the one i have been building and perfecting to suit my needs for 7 years.
Going to run a new standalone next year which will eliminate any real communication or wiring between engine and car, as it will have a full digital display to provide me with all the info i need. (Except the fuel gauge i think)

I will probably need more info later on, but these are the most important basics.

The measurements I need:
Distance between shifter and engine mounts
Distance between engine mounts
Distance between strut towers / chassis beams

The pictures i need:
Picture of an empty engine bay, showing the subframe and steering (some measurements included would be helpfull)
Picture of the front subframe close-up
Picture of the rear subframe and diff.


I do NOT want to start a discussion about wether or not to do it, why i shouldn't do it or any other pointless comment constructive criticism and helpfull ideas/info on the other hand are much appreciated!

If the measurements point out that it is possible, then there is a 99% possibility this will be put in motion.
It will not be a half-assed project, and with all the parts i have and can re-use, this should be able to run within a few months with the right preperation.

i am still in the research stage, as this project will not start within the next 2 years.
For now i am in the process of perfecting my Rotary setup in my RX-7.

Looking forward to your input!

Cheers

Am on travel, but I will get to my project car on Friday afternoon...engine is out and I can take some pictures/videos of the bay (well, everything that's left, from the towers back....ya' know, the important stuff. Probably get measurement between engine mounts, too. PM me on Friday, and I'll get this to you.

Or PM me for any more pictures from certain angles/of certain locations. Will get post measurement of mounts tonight or tomorrow. - RJ

Awesome dude! This is already really helpfull

Just need the measurements now.
Could you also measure the distance between firewall and steering rack for me?
