it's been done so many times. though i've never seen them on the net but i do see them in real life. most (Puerto Ricans) are using rotary engines on any car they can find. crazy? not! it's like a normal swap for them BUT if you don't have any experience with rotors, forget about the swap. it's easy to understand how they work but to actually master them is another story. you need to tune it really good to make it work properly. there was another AE86 on the pro drag circuit about 5 years ago in the states aside from Paradise Racing, and they're using a 3-rotor turbo on the AE86. when i saw them the mechanics are having a hard time tuning it but it was running high 9s. very good swap for an AE86 if you asked me. very light motor with big potential.

on the Supra swap... i wouldn't do it just coz the car will be front heavy. my friend scrap the idea after dropping the 1JZ motor for the fear of bending the chassis. and they couldn't figure out how to put the power to the ground. there's tons of swap available for you without going to I6. if you want a crazy expensive swap, do a 3SGTE. if you want a crazier swap buy an S2000 F22C motor or a BEAMS 3SGE from an Altezza.. now that's crazy!


here's some photos i've found. 530whp 9sec. Corolla (not an AE but you pretty much get the idea.)

rotaries are very small, so you'd have quite alot of extra space.
