Yeah you need management, injectors, etc. But the big stuff will set you back R20k. I am antiRotary, so very bias in this topic.

Yeah ok.
I would love to buy an RX* and put the 4egi motor in there. They such good looking cars but flawed with that engine. I have heard guys say that it uses 1pt of oils per tank, which only gets them 5km/lt

Look I can see where Sokars comming from
"Although the 787 and 787B lacked the single lap pace of World Championship competitors such as Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, and Porsche, as well Japanese Championship competitors Nissan and Toyota, the Mazdas had reliability which allowed them to contend for their respective championships. The reliability of the cars eventually paid off in 1991 when a 787B driven by Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler, and Bertrand Gachot to victory in the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. This remains as of 2008 the only victory by a Japanese marque as well as the only victory by a car not using a reciprocating engine design."
It did when Le mans I dont see nissan or toyota doing that

friends of mine built a nice 1400 bakkie with a strong engine in it.
about 230rwkw's.
it ran in the 13's last year with its 13 year old driver!
they installed an alfa diff into the rear, and it came stock with a LSD. held up very well to the power and allowed them to fit better brakes at the rear!
apparently it was a very easy swap!

I have a BMW 325I welded diff that I just need to collect somewhere in Boksburg. You can have it for free if you buy the motor!
