Yes it has been done by some clown in the states (seriously - he was wearing a clown suit in the pics with his car in miniworld!).
What sort of power do they push out?
If I remember correctly, the actual engine looked tiny, but he had a huge transmission / prop tunnel running through the car to the rear wheels. Bet that flew!

Then there's the tri-rotor 20B if you can find one which gives an effective 3900cc. Naughty.
Go Wikipedia to start.

But apparently you have to be carefull with the exhaust clearing the diff/drive shafts.
This would be my favourite conversion... Wankel FWD FTW!

I'm really not sure aye. I dont really know alot so i'm putting feelers out to see whats been done and how to do it well. I really just want a super fast mini aye. I think wankle because if the size. mostly worried about the conversion to rwd. Power to weight would be mad

yeah something like that. was thinking either a 12a or 13b, single turbo. the 13b turbo from 89-91 rx7 put out up to 200hpPretty sure you can get big Hp out of them, arn't they like 1 litre or something?
