A mechanism exists to replace a Subaru’s conventional horizontally opposed piston engine with a rotary engine. This facilitates the integration of an alternative power plant, commonly seen in Mazda vehicles, into a Subaru chassis. The components involved include mounting hardware, modified drivetrain parts, and potentially revised electrical systems to ensure compatibility and functionality of the newly installed engine.
The procedure allows for a unique combination of vehicle dynamics. The appeal lies in the potential for increased power output and a distinctive engine sound, differentiating the modified vehicle from its factory configuration. Historically, such modifications have been pursued by automotive enthusiasts seeking to enhance performance or create a personalized vehicle. The reduced weight and compact size of the rotary engine can also affect the handling characteristics of the Subaru.
