- Diving deeper into our BMW Z3 build, this episode is all about taking a risk by purchasing a crazy cheap Mazda 13B rotary engine on Facebook Marketplace! Follow along as I collect this crucial piece of our project puzzle and start stripping it down to see what we've really got. Could this engine be rebuilt and used in the Z3? It’s a journey into the unknown! We're not just unpacking an engine; we're uncovering the potential of our Z3's future powerhouse. Watch as I navigate the teardown, share insights, and lay the groundwork for what's shaping up to be an epic build. Let's find out together what surprises this Mazda 13B holds!

Nicely done Sam
Thanks James!
G'day nice workshop mate
Thanks! Next video will include a workshop tour 🤙
Nice workshop! Even if a single plate or housing is still usable you're quids in. Nice find.
Thanks! Hoping to get it pulled apart over the next couple of weeks 🤞
Cool project, looking forward to the outcome
Thanks! It’s going to be a big project 🙈
@Sam_Proctor bigger the better.
300th subscriber, can't wait for more
Thank you 🤙
Have to say I know nothing about Rotary so good luck. I have a 99 pre face lift 2.8 manual with 43k on her. I watched your first video and I was hoping you would go down the ITBs route as I want to fit them on mine. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how you get on. 👍🇬🇧
Oh that sounds like a gem of a car! Such low mileage for the age 👌 you should definitely look into ITBs, I might be wrong, but I think you have more options with your engine than I had before. At least from a kit point of view. My plan with the rotary is to convert it to ITBs too 😉 even more noise! Thanks for watching 🤙
Hello, yes I will as I love the sound they make. I fitted an Eisenmann Race cat-back which sounds the business. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how you get on. Cheers
I think everybody has a space issue. Ideal would be to have a shed and garage. Nice engine find!
Thanks! I’m lucky enough to have a workshop to use alongside my home garage
Really looking forward to seeing the end result, I have a 3.0i Z3 and would like to do an engine swap too with a V8 from e92 m3.
Cheers! Ahh the 3.0l was a swap suggestion, but I didn’t want to swap to an engine that came in the car. That E92 V8 would be something special!
@Sam_Proctor it would be absolutely bonkers, just need to find a competent garage to do it cause I'm no mechanic at all
Supra or civic engine in it
Just finished my. 13b swap in mine but i also used the mazda rx8 transmission
13b Rotary swapped BMW z3 first start and Test. #13b #automobile #rotary #engineswap #rx7

I'm excited to see yours running properly out on the street. Crazy that we're both doing it to red 1.9s! There can't be many rotary Z3s out there. I'm hoping that we'll be able to get this RX8 engine running but appreciate they're not the most desirable
@@Sam_Proctor i said the same thing i know there was one other one like 8 or 10 years ago. Have not seen any thing on it in years but i think it was a track car
Is this the one in NZ? I saw a walk around of it somewhere. Sounded great but was a bit rough around the edges www.speedhunters.com/2009/01/random_snap_gt_gt_rotary_powered_z3/
@@Sam_Proctor yeah thats the only other one i have seen. Have seen a bunch of 318 and 3 series
