probably just from looking at the one above.. even though thats an ek. the motor looks small. but the fabbing work for it looks top notch, its probably one off custom, never even heard of a kit for that.

there was a triple rotor in the 1990-1995 Eunos Cosmo. Swappable into the RX7.


THAT CIVIC IS GREAT! I'm not into rotaries, but just imagining the looks on people's faces when you pop the hood... amazing.

The 20B is a 3-rotor motor! Google it!

Is there any way to get an adapter plate like this? Will the adapter plate fit the 13B if I have a 5speed instead of the 6spd K20 trans?. I want to put this into an MR2 Spyder. Can you sell this engine adapter as a kit?
