thanks Fred. I just assumed that the ecu also controlled the transmission. To be honest your attatchment is way over my head as i am not as technically savy as most of you rotary guys.

lol, I was hoping it would be plug n play like the honda guys with all the specialty parts available for various eng/trans configurations.

like, 1. find a very clean straight turbo car in need of rebuild= $2000-3000
profesional rebuild + all wear items replaced= $4000
or

find a very clean straight N/A s4 = $3000
profesional T2 swap = $5000

2. plug in jdm auto trans.(assuming it is in good shape
because autos tend to have conservative owners)

Am I dreamin. 7 or 8 thousand dollars for a strong running turbo car built for me and ready to mod into a quick little street car. (assuming the trans. swap goes as planned)
