i understand if you won't reply to this question, but i am very interested in the method of the 13b conversion here, did you mate the origional porsche gearbox to fit the 13b to it or did you just shorten the driveshaft and keep the motor perpendicular to the wheel axles? my apologies i cannot view the video on my mobile phone but i will be sure to watch it when i get home, nice car by the look of it, thanks, any help will be much appreciated as i want to do this if it doesn't cost alot.

@minimaluhftv ypu don't know nothing about history?
a 914 it's a classical VW, projected by Porsche, it's like putting a GM V8 engine on a 42' Type one...

@russotragik poor porsche? why? the original engine was shit to being with, why under powered.

I Can Respect this kind of trade motor, Maybe a turbo 13b Bridgeport tuned engine...Hell even a nelson motor best turbo motor engine out there.......4 fingers homie....keep it up....
@jozeyrules. Kennedy Engineering makes the adapter plate to mount the rotary engine straight to the porsche transaxle, much like the original porsche engine would mount. No driveshaft. The engine sits inline just like in an RX-7. If you have the rotary engine, and already have a porsche, then there aren't many costs involved....just a bit of fabricating. You need to use a large radiator, and use an high flow external water pump because the distance. Mine was out of a F-250 pickup.

It was a 1974 914. The handling was more impressive than the speed. But it was fun to wind the hell out of the engine!

lotusboy24....also, the stock 914 engines were mounted the exact same way. All it needed was the adapter plate to match the rotary engine to the stock 914 tranny. Not difficult at all really.

lotusboy24, you are confused....vertical is the wrong word. You mean in-line? It is quite simple. look at most rear wheel drive cars. the crankshaft runs front to rear, like in V-8's, V-6's and many 4 cylinders. Yes, the engine sits sideways in your CRX and many other front wheel drive cars, requiring a transaxle. The rotary engine was never factory installed in a car mounted sideways with a transaxle, but you can check with "kennedy engineering" to see if they make an adapter for what you want
