Paul,
          Have found a car with a new motor fitted (and pranged) for sale
at possibly
$2000.  Then there is a "very good" motor only for $6000.  The car has a
13b motor and
the engine only is a renisis.
    I really want a motor with approx 220 Hp plus, so allowing that both
motors are what
they say, what are the costs invloved to get both motors individually
ready to install in
a plane ??  Just what has to be done ??  At this stage I am only mildly
interested
although the car is tempting at that price, but it is also 700 miles away.
I do not know
if either is an auto or not,  Lets allow that they are not.

You drill a couple of p-port holes in the rotor housing and install intake
tubes
and a slide throttle. That will give you 250 HP at 7500 RPM.

We have just re uploaded the How to P-port video back on youtube.

I don't know what this cost in Australia.
What kind of power tools do you have access to?
What city are you in?

It cost too much to ship the rotor housings to the US while just
about any shop in Oz can do the holes. It is pretty simple.

You would be real lucky to get 200 HP if you used any part
of the stock intake system.

Paul,
       I live in central NSW which puts me mid way between melb and
Brisbane where there are all the tool shops now doing work on Rotarys.  My
closest city is Sydney where again there are all the tools possibly needed.
In short I believe that the necessary tool are available.
  So a P port and slide,    engine mounts,  exhaust, PSRU computer etc
(tracy cooks package say $4000 USD ??)     What other interesting little
impediments exist??    Am I far wrong in allowing $6000 after the motor
purchase ??
                                  Neil.

$6000 should cover the cost of a rotary engine over haul as well as the PSRU
and slide.
