speaking of rotaries, do you think onw would fit in a yaris, mounted sideways, and even if the front bumper had to be extended?

Absolutely, if you get the chance, check out the size of those lil engines. Tiny. But you're wallet will have to match the size...and you have to consider that you can't run FWD, as far as I know, there are no FWD rotories worldwide, so the swap would have to include a RWD conversion...but I'd love to see this done, in pretty much every platform...ooohhh the fun possible with 10k redlines and turbos

A 12A is smaller than a beer keg ;) lol

But there was a FWD rotary. A crappy NSU, the Ro 80. The engines were crap - needed rebuilds at 30k, and all the cars came with an auto.

You could adapt a FWD tranny to a Rotary, but it'll be pricy.

Then there was the Norton Commander and the Suzuki RE5 - Rotary powered motorcycles. Those would definatly fit :D There are ways to adapt them to power a car FWD, but the Suzuki was only a 500cc making 60hp... It'd be alot lighter, but it would be hard to get over 120hp out of it. lol

what about a Suzuki GSX1300R (Hayabusa) engine? its not a rotary, but produces 129kw (175 HP) and its only 1299 cc, 4-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, TSCC. (from wikipedia), so I reckon it would easily fit in the yaris, and the 2008 model is bigger with 1340 cc, 4-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, TSCC and a compression ratio of 12.5:1 (up from 11:1). Then turbo it. then you've got yourself a deathtrap on wheels.

Some guy in my town had put one in a 99 tercel and kept it front wheel drive. They made a plate for the tranny to use the toyota one. I know they had issues with the intake side of the engine. It was carburated, but now the car is full track car and made rear wheel drive and of course still rotary powered. BTW don't remember if it was 12a or 13b

Would fit easy, you'll need to have an adaptor made to mate with the trans.

I put a 13b ported and blown, into a 71 morris mini. With close to 300 hp, that mini was a real beast.
