Lots of work - what's your position, have you got a rotary sitting around spare? Have you even got a gemini?? or have you got your willy in hand while your asking stupid questions.

shitloads of work and money, if u are not handy with the spanners and welder then i wouldn't bother. I had a look at a 13b turbo TG sedan at Phils rotarys in brissy and it is a mammoth task, so much fabricating to get the motor to sit right without affecting the handling. That said i am currently rebuilding a TX coupe which will be powered by a 13B PP, much easier cause no turbo or intercooler ( the exhaust on a rotor is on the drivers side and interferes with the steering. By the way these so called " conversion kits" are crap. There are too many variables with side verses front mounting, gearbox mounts etc, so i reckon u get a good fabricator and do it from scratch!
cheers

What state are u in?
In Sydeny its not legal to have a 13b turbo in a little Gem i have done all the research as im buildig my Gem coupe grund up and a rotor is going in it.
Dont listen to the others that replied, Rotors RULE, and trust me the power to weight ratio is unbelivable.
Goodluck,and be prepared to spend a bit of money and have a few headaches on the way.

MR GEMI, Keep your crappy comments to yourself fool. The reason I was wondering was because im looking at doing something different instead of the usual piazza conversion.

A mate was tellin me that Rotors are a major headfuck to do. one engineer he was talkin to told him that he done one and swore he would neva do it again. myself has nothin against rotors but was told that a turbo FJ20 goes sweet and maybe it could be a lil easier to stick in than a rotor. mite wana susss tat out. but just a sugestion.

Hey like i told you dont listen to the others comments stick to the rotor trust once you got the finished product you wont be sorry you did it.
Offer the others a drag between a rotary gem and a fully worked gem and see who wins?
considering the driver knows how to drag.
Dont give up mate
