Keep my DC2R or EGK20A?

[riceball]

lets assume both engines are in crappy cars ( IE old r100 etc and a EG/ED)
and you are correct

agreed

Oh and the EG isnt a crappy car.

ah ****in internet keyboard wars...

fought and won and lost by people who have no ****ing clue...

Put 5k into a K series and the winner will be a 2.0 by far too.

So thats a K series conversion + a $5000 build.......thats a shit load of cash, you would want to be doing low 12's for that kind of cash. My point is that a rotary can and does pull very good times for the money spent.

i.e compared to V8's and 4 cylinders horsepower is cheap....

thats my last 5 cents.........

[riceball]

Now you're talking about how much a conversion would cost. Your initial post was regarding the engine itself. They are two different things if you haven't realized.

Your first point was any rotor with 5k spent on it's engine dominate all K series and B Turbos. Now you are talking about bang for buck. Not only this, you are talking about a completely different engine that doesn't even regard what the post starter has requested. Big help.

With an extra 5k on top of a K series engine you can basically fully build a whole new K series and be hitting low 12's. Or you could build a turbo kit with 5K and hit 11's.

Thats my 10 cents.

yer rotarys make the power no doubt
but rotary's that have been modified dont have best reliability
like a honda and the rotary sound is not to every ones taste
once they have been modified!

Yes Buddy....I am talking about how much a conversion would cost as the original question was regarding the K conversion and the pros and cons of this conversion and the cost is part of this, thats why this started out in the lounge so it was a free and open discussion open to ideas and thoughts.......

Lowa said to "buy a rotary" and I agreed, thats where the discussion turned to the power of rotary engines and the potential versus money spent. Its as simple as that.

By the way riceball, how many K conversions do you know of that run in the 6's and 7's.........................cause there are plenty of rotary powered vehicles that will run those times.

I agree 90LAN, rotarys are not reliable, thats why I sold my series II and bought a Honda.

This is where you went wrong. By just agreeing with someone and maybe stating that it would be a better bang for buck then fair enough. Thats fine, because its the truth. However, you went into detail about "a $5000 rotary will kick any K series conversion and/or B series turbo setup." This is where you need to grab a toilet roll and wipe your mouth because obviously you don't know what you are talking about.

Lol. K series conversions have only become popular over the past few years. Many performance products have not even been made compared to that of other engines.

How about this. How many rotary engines have you seen lasted more than 200,000kms without a rebuild? Whos going to have spent more money in the end?

[kraiye]

200,000 k's is when ppl only start doin ghetto honda turbo installs

[Zilli]

what i want to know is what kind of idiot takes reliability into consideration when building a motor they want to race with? people stop comparing apples with oranges, obviously there are people on this site who wear Honda branded underwear and sleep with Asimo at night... pull your **** out of the little plastic crevice... they are two different DIFFERENT things... too much objectivity and variable... the Wankel Rotary motor is an amazing invention... so is VTEC...

i'd like to hear from someone who has owned a kswap and a rotary with 5k spent on it to give us their point of view, until then the back and forth in this thread is all wank...

y did you digg up an old thread
