[quote=Sc dRifta;2518649]rotoarys are sick engines ,the only wankel engine on the market ,if you are a mechanic who dosent care to tear it apart every month and rebuild its a good thing ,but me personally will never go through the headach of a rota engine after what i see my cousin deal with every day .even mazda dealerships dont want to fix the new renisis engine .

Why would you say such a thing. if you think the rotary is unreliable then how is that better than a reliable RB? 
Xotic sC - the vid. you posted is cool, but your forgetting that mercedes is 4,480 lbs stock and the supra is way less then that from the factory not to mention the supra guy may have spent a lil more money on making his car even lighter than stock weight which would have an effect on response and how the HP is used. less weight goes faster, you know that.
I wish i was rich so i could buy a SL65 amg, take out all the convertible B/s, weld the roof together and to the car, then start removing all the other power this and that **** in an effort to lose 1,000 - 1,500 lbs and turn it into one bad *** street car.
As for the RB in the Soarer, thats just sweet as hell. everyone has their own tastes and my taste for unique and original swaps is the greatess.
Thats why back in 1999 i bought a 240sx instead of a civic or some other honda as my first car cause they weren't popular back then.
Which is another problem, SC's are now becoming more and more popular and affordable so it might be time to move on and sell mine, maybe even import something no one has. Just gotta find them loop holes.

3s-gte's have alot less torque (proportionally due to the number of pistons) than the standard 2jz or RB series.
I think that RB26 swap is great looking and must perform great as well! Nothing sounds like an RB26. In my opinion its one of the best sounding motors on the planet (next to old Cosworth DFV and Ferrari flat 12 formula one motors).
