Why waste a good five year old S2000? Sell it for an AP1 with a blown engine and do the swap on that, you'll have more money left to work out little problems. Not trying to be negative, it just makes more sense to me

Mazda should have given up on the rotary engine years ago. I don't care how light it is. The motor has no torque and any boosted mods can blow up the engine.(without proper tuning and low boost) If that's what you want to do, do what makes you happy. For me, I think it's a complete waste of $.

Why not go 20B?
Also you'd need the 13B EMS and not the 1012. It would be easier to get the 13B engine harness and plug it into an EMS. It would be easier to splice in the 13B harnes into the S2000 harness. Are you looking for FULL functionality? I would think that people doing these kinda of swaps lose some functionality but which ones I do not know unfortunately.
I know the temp gauge runs off the EMS, fuel gauge is direct sensor.
