hello im new to the site. just so you know i am not an owner of a Mazda. i own a 1991 chevy cavalier i plan to make it a sleeper with a rotary motor. i plan to put a 4 rotar 13b motor in it but i joined this site because i don't know much about rotary motors and i thought this might give me some insight. please let me know if you have any other ideas or if there is any problems about this motor i need to know.

Well welcome to the site. As far as dropping a rotary into the 91 Cav have fun with that. I could think of many better cars to do the transplant & a couple of non rotary choices for your Cav. A 4 rotor is not a 13b, but a 26b, the cost of that motor & the amount of fabrication I think would not be in your best interest for that car. If you are set on a doing a rotary swap into your Cav a 13bt should be more than enough. I'm not sure if you were trying to stay FWD or you were going to RWD the Cav. First thing know your budget & do a little research on cost of such a build to see if it fits your budget. What are your mechanical abilities, is this something going straight to a shop or is this just a pipe dream? IMO buy an RX7 build it be happy & use the Cav for a daily. On the other hand there's a few Cavs at the track fitted with small blocks, you could always go that route.
