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.
thanx for the help bro. ill be getting rid of the ems i have then and getting a 13B ems instead. im doing the 13B because it is still more reliable than a 20B cosmo and ill be able to hit the power goals i am looking for easily with the 13B. no need to go the extra size.

do you konw if the speedo and tach run off the ECU also. im almost sure the speedo does but i want to know.

ive got the 13B we are going to use already, and ive got a few harnesses to start us out with. i would like to keep as much functionality as possible.

Not a fan of the concept but wonder if this could be a dollar-neutral project (presuming you sell the OEM engine).
im hopeing that i can sell the motor and tranny to balance the costs of the parts ill need to order and fab up for the swap.

Please Help!

Have you considered all the available after market turbo or supercharger kits available for your current engine ?
i have thought about turbo and have a turbo kit sitting in my garage for the motor i have but a friend brought up the idea and since im going to be getting stationed in germany soo for a while ill have nothing to do but work on the car. im going to sell everything i have for the s2000 that i cant use and ill replace it with the rotary parts ill need.

thanx for the luck ill need it. my firend is building and porting the housings before we even begin the swap so im hopeing that we can take care of the problem areas before we go boost. im already looking for radiators and large capacity oil coolers to help the heating issues. i think if we can mitigate the heat problems well enough the motor should last for a while.

I think this is all bullshit! Rotarys suck and the OP sucks even more. When you think everything is done and you're ready to fire this piece of shit up for the first time, call me so I can watch this ****er explode.
