ok so 1 of my friends said that u can put a rotary engine in a 92 Civic Hatch. I don't believe him at all, but u can put just about any engine in a 92 Hatch......

i just wanna know if ANYONE has ever heard or seem anything like this

 

With enough money/labor anything is possible.

 

why the hell would u want to? or unless u u want the 1.3b or whatever the turbo'd one is ? but then again by the time u have that in and running properly you could have a turbo b-series or a turbo'd d series for sure

 

Yeah, you can but ls1's and twin h22 turbos in civics too.

All just a matter of time/skill/money/resources.

 

yeah, i'm jw if anyone has ever seen it done?

I've never heard of it. IMO it's a waste of money/time. You'd be faster/handle better with a boosted honda motor.

Crazy swaps are for those who want to be different.

I'd never seen an ls1 in a civic until this past year. Civette just got his ls1 97 hatch up and running. Took him about 3-4 months to do.

The handling part - yeah - because the 13b is made for a RWD car which would throw the whole civic balancing off as your drivetrain would be custom.

As far as being faster? Doubtful. If you plug a 13b (not that renesis new **** on the Rx-8's either, I'm talking the real one - twin turbo Rx-7's) into a civic chassis it would haul ***.

Like I said, the handling would be a bit off b/c it's a RWD engine in a FWD designed chassis.

Kinda hard to say that's a waste of time but civette's build isn't. It's a rare (I certainly never seen it) swap and deserves the credit of so.

@ OP:
I think somebody put one into an S2K - but I haven't seen one in a civic.

Either they put it into an S2K, or they put the F20 from the S2K into an Rx-7..forgot which.

It's definitely possible if you have enough time, money, and fabrication skills.

 

ls1's and sr20's are becoming common swaps for rx7 owners. even they dont want their rotarys.

 

Yup, I'm one of them...
