Lots of people have done the rotary conversion they were even doing it in the earily 80's. Use the search or look in some older magazines and you will probably find a turbo gemini rotary. I have seen 12A, 12A Turbo, 13B, 13B Supercharged, 13B Turbo, 20B Turbo, in gemini's.

i don't really have much idea but i know that you will need a new crossmember, engine mounts and sump. not sure if the standard gemini gearbox can be adapted to fit the rotor or not. you might need a different fuel pump and bigger fuel lines too. do it man, it'll be worth it, rotors are sick.

BIG exhaust, tuned for max power but loud

im just trying to sell this thing so i can finish building my rx7, if no1 buys it ill finish it and put my old 13b turbo into it, and it will probably be for sale at the end of the year for around $8000.
