LSx. Nothing to be lost.

That would be so stupid.

lol good luck with that one hahahaha

just kidding, They're fun and according to some people rotaries aren't as hard to take apart as they've been hyped up to be. I've never had the chance, but if you come across a bad one (which you will) pick it up for scrap metal prices to play around. Next thing you know you'll do your full build and seal replacement when you need it (you will- haha)

Rotaries were hyped up as hard to take apart? lol They are EXTREMELY easy to completely disassemble.

we'll learn these kids somethin one of these days.

Ls1 is nearly the same weight as the hamster cage and without doing a single modification to the engine, you've tripled your horsepower, significantly increased your MPG and created a car that is way more reliable and less temperamental that you can actually drive in the winter time or buy parts for it from autozone.

plus, i almost burned to death in a rotary that caught on fire.

LS1 also is a lot larger and would make the car hard to work on, just because it's the same weight (which I'm not sure is true) doesn't mean it would work right. Can the LS sit far back in the stock engine bay? Doubtful. I've never understood removing a rotary for an LS engine. Yes they're cheap easy power, but they're boring. Nothing beats the feel or sound of a smooth revving rotary.

The only people that have issues with rotaries are those who don't understand how they work, sure they will break, and will probably break sooner than a regular piston engine, but they aren't hard to work on so...

There's also no reason a rotary would be more likely to catch fire than a LS. lol

Never been in a big cam lsx car, huh? lol

I've worked on the rotary engine. I understand the rotary engine and i still have issues with it. Rotary engine is "neat" and that's where it stops. I've owned 4 rx7s. The only thing i like about the rotary engine is how easy it is to take out.


I understand and enjoy the small engine feel, but that feeling isnt unique to a rotary engine. there's much better ways to accomplish that experience.
