Re: [DML] Engine Options.

[rodney rael <rodrael1@xxxxxxxxx>]

I myself am looking into doing a 3 rotor mazda twin turbo which is
equivalent to a 9 cylinder in power, it is a rotary and is aluminum,
therefore you get lots of horsepower without the weight.   Of course
you need to get the engine with its wiring harness and ecu.   my
problem is having the adapter done to the tranny.   I feel reasonably
sure that the uh1 will handle it as long as you don't consistantly rev
high and dump clutch.

My 2 cents worth!
