Which NA engine?? Questions Questions

[ian24ian]

Hi Chaps,
Im very much a Rotary Virgin, and have the want to build a small lightweight rwd 30s car, but as space would be very restricted, a Rotary really does appeal,  
Im wanting to build a 250hp NA Rotary, Not sure which way to go, I know a 48/50/52 IDA would work, but I would much rather run a side draught, as my space is limited, Im not afraid of running aftermarket ECU and Injection, or scratch building any part for an engine,  Can I dump the distributor and run a 36-1 crank ring and trigger,then Coil packs?? or is there something else that relies on the dissy drive??
Looking at pictures, I should be able to move the alternator down low, and get rid of the PAS and Aircon.
Im guessing I will be using a RX7 engine of some sort, but which is best??, can the RX8 6 speed be bolted onto the back of the RX7

If you use the RX8 231 engine as a basis that would be best from the noise level point of view as the exhaust ports are different and enable to noise to be lower with good power still.

I have no thoughts on this matter

Noise has never been a worry,  ask my neighbours,:Giggle:Giggle:Giggle:Giggle
