Default im going rotary

ok so before i get a bunch of flame going on i dont want to hear any negative things. all im looking for is electrical help for the dash work.

ok so a small run down on what i plan to do.

im taking my 2005 Rio S2000 and pulling the perfect (yes perfect) f22c and dropping a 13B rotary in. what i need help with before i start is how the factory dash works. what i need to know is what guages on the factory dash use the ECU for signal, and which ones use direct sensor input. ive got the stock ECU and i also have a AEM EMS 1012 so im hopeing that between the two we can make things work.

i know theres a few guys on here that have been doing 2jz swaps and i hope they can chime in on some of the problems they had with wiring and guages.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you doing this? People mod for power, economy, looks, just because, etc. I promise no flames (from me), just curious.

Worse fuel economy, less torque, less reliable.

Who wouldn't want to do it?



Seriously though, +1 to the question of why? Just curious also.

Not a fan of the concept but wonder if this could be a dollar-neutral project (presuming you sell the OEM engine).

Rotary is lighter and more compact so you might end up with a better balanced and agile car?

I like rotaries and I sold my RX7 to get an S (well actually I spent a short time in a Miata inbetween) What I liked about the S was that it felt like my 93 RX7s. The S had a bigger kick at VTEC than did the second turbo of the RX7s
