Paul,

 I was reading about rotary engines on the AREN and am considering
 installing
 one in a Series 1 Lotus Elise to replace the standard Rover K series.

 Im thinking of an RX8 13B with 270Hp. In a 700kg Elise this should be fun.

 Was reviewing the technical data and haven't been able to find any detail
 on
 the bellhousing bolt hole pattern as I will need to make an adapter plate
 to
 the gearbox. I notice you have quite a few CAD drawings and models/layouts
 on the site and was wondering if you would have this information and would
 be willing to share it.

 Look forward to your response.


 Oh and I would like to subscribe to the newsletter as well.


 Cheers,

 Stuart

 I would love to have something like that. Unfortunately
 our gov does not allow it.

 Your in luck Stuart. Here is a dwg on the subject
 and some pictures of the end housing.

 I recommend an RX8 p-port with a Weber 48 mm carb.
 300 HP at 9000 RPM. Idles as well as a 13B.

 If you need more info on it let me know.

Who's drawing is that? better tell Stuart the orientation of the BH is
facing the Gearbox and the extra bolt hole of the RX8 and Cosmo is at
(approx) 78.75 deg on the Diameter of 182mm ( same as all others except for
one at 180mm) - for that orientation.
However Larry has a more accurate drawing which shows the positions as
distances from centre.

Its mine.  Yes Larry did a good one. Here it is I think.
