Yes its a 13bt rotary, something different. But a twin turbo ls1 or turbo S38 would still be nice :)

are you putting in a 13b rotary motor? or is there a bmw or something with also the 13b as its designation, because i would think an M3 or M5 motorswap would have been more choice or even a chevy LS1 as its very light and lots of power as well, although i've always wanted an M3, i've just now started really looking at bmw's and reading up more about them, so let me know, would love to see your car take shape
