    it does appear to be fuel injected but at least its getting used.

    indeed, and it IS fuel injected, but it can also be the GSL-SE engine, the one to want is the S5 FC one, 165hp, the GSL-SE is only 135, and the S4 13B is 148, which works for me too. It's not a 13B-T, 13B-RE, 13B-REW, 20B-REW, or RENESIS so that's good, those engines are insane and shouldn't go into anything with a center of gravity that high. In all honesty, I'm not only happy it's getting used, I appreciate when a non rx-7 owner recognizes the potential of the rotary enough to do a swap, it's all to often you see 7s get V8s, when things go the other way around it's a bit refreshing.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
