sell crx.
buy a rx-7.
put 13b in that.

That's my mod. Either that or a big hammer.

Seriously, if you're asking these questions, chances are you can't put the rear axle in anyways.

Wasn't there a post a while back with some disgusting lime green hatchback with a rotary in it? I can't remember if it was a 13b or not. But with money anything is possible.

I say use a small for solid rear out of a 95ish V6. Fabing up and IRS would be very difficult. For the tranny. Cut and redo a tunnel, its really the only way. I would also go with a Weber side draft carb and forget about fuel injection.

This should make for an interesting swap.

And what i remember is that the lime green civic was still FWD. Engine was horizontally fitted. And what i remember also is that the engine used was B12.

Dont know bout the RWD, but FWD rotary would be funny. Not my choise nevertheless.

If you're asking us for advice, then don't try it. Chances are you don't have the fabrication skills to pull it off. No offense.

Sell the engine, buy something that will bolt in to the honda.

You'd probably be better off to sell the CRX and use a 4wd Civic wagon or CRV chassis, and go for an AWD rotary. That way your biggest obstacle would be fitting the D16/B18 tranny onto the 13B. An adapter plate would be much easier than a custom RWD fabrication.

You'll need a 13B engine harness and ECU. There's no way a Civic ECU will run a rotary.

I also have to question this project if you have to ask about the wiring harness.

I agree with the above. The fact you are asking such broad questions is proof enough that you probably shouldn't attempt this project. Not to mention I hate working on rotary engines.
