there still 1.3 engines mate just equivalent to a 2.6 and twice as juicy :D

No they're 2.6 engines. Not equivalent. You can't measure their cc in the way you can a traditional piston engine. Trust me, I spent 4 years paying the tax for it, and buying the parts for it. It's not a 1.3

He'd never give you the run around.

You know him do you? The guy knows what he is talking about, I just rang and asked him if he is confident to do the conversion, he promised to to let me down or desert me. So watch this space, see what happens.

I'm sure there's a video on YouTube of precisely what you're talking about....

Me and him, we both know what's going on inside engines. We both know the tuning game and we are going to play it.

Those are power figures not torque. Although the mivec engine does have a slightly better torque output. (it uses mivec to achieve it though, which is similar to vtec)

And rotary engines are 2.6 everywhere in the real world. Theyre only 1.3s on the internet

I had an RX8 (231). It said 2616cc on the log book but as far as I have read since thinking it was 1308 per rotor, twin rotory (2.6). I've found it's actually a 654cc per rotor twin rotory 1.3 (1308cc) and the only reason it's classed as a 2.6 (double displacement) is for insurance and road tax due to the performance, Co2 output and fuel use. I use to tell people it's not a 1.3 it's a 2.6 (1.3 per rotor, twin rotory). But since doing much research i found it to be a 1.3. Still, i'm unsure though but found nothing to clarify it's a 2.6???
If you have a reputable website saying different, i'd appreciate the address as i'd love to know for sure. I know you said in the real world but surely there is the right info on the net.

Typo, I meant he said he will never let me down or desert me. I am just going to leave it in his capable hands and see if he gives up.
