Hello, new to the Rotary World

toyboat · 08-05-2010, 04:09 PM

I'm replacing my Porsche 912 flat 4 with a 13B. I've been heckled by a lot of purists, but I tell them "It's still German engineering, Felix Wankle is the father of the rotary engine." The engine is just made in Japan, like my door mirrors were made in Brazil...

I've been looking at all the articles for info to this new engine to me. It's been very helpful.

There was a 911 at DGRR a few years ago with an S5 Turbo engine. It was sweet. We also have a member with a 914 powered by rotary power!

Welcome!!
