Rotary?

[the720mole]

Has anyone done a rotary motor swap into a 720 or HB? I thought that it might be kinda cool.

[peterikan]

na ive thought about it plenty of times tho considering ive done them to damn near everything else....mainly smaller cars like a starlet, civic, or oldskool corolla's(late 70's early 80's models) or doing up 1st gens.

damn things sick! makes me want to build up one of the 12A's I have sittin around here...

The only problem i see is that the engine are only good for about 75,000 mile or so. before you really start having problems with them. We were gonna put one in a courier but decided against it due to reliablity issues. just my .02 cents

very true...thats the only motor ive had to replace repeatedly...become very fragile when you want added hp...damn appex seals!

I would stay away from the rotard motors if you want a reliable truck to drive around and take on long trips. Rotards can make good power, but reliability goes down the toilet. Throw a EFI KA24DE or SR/VQ35/3SGTE/4AGZE/etc. The VQ are great motors and something I havent seen done on a 720 yet.

the truck in that vid has some horrible turbo surge

Thats going to be an expensive motor Ryan:D I can make copies of that motor, but with my own twist to it and it will make more power than the Formula Atlantic 4AG motors.

But I mentioned the 4AGZE cause its supercharged with 160hp and can be had for $900 complete and add an extra $100 for the rwd tranny he would need to buy from me. Then its all in fabbing motor mounts/trans mount, wiring, fuel plumbing, and I/C plumbing. Should be a decent motor since I know the 720 dont way to much, and if he wanted to go turbo, he can rip off the supercharger set up and sell it. Then piece together a turbo setup, cause the 4AGZE already is built for boost and can handle up to 17psi before I would open it up and rebuild it for more power. Sorry about the long post, but I can go on forever:rofl:

I just love those atlantic motors, i know they go for a ton most of the true atlantic motors are runnin in the price range of 40,000 bones lol, but this setup is good for 250HP, not too shabby especially in the 10,000 rpm range. but you know when it comes to toyota motors i like them non boosted, my old sileighty was boosted that was the one i tried getting in to F.D. with but that didn't turn out too well
