That's hilarious! People go to GREAT effort and do a tremendous amount of work, out of *laziness*!

don't give me the cheaper argument either, till you count in fan work, engine management, and the drive line mods you could have built a reliable and powerful oem motor.

Not too many people who have done these swaps would argue that it's CHEAP, either!
In the specific case of the rotary, there's no such thing as reliable, as far as I can tell. I met the highly respected author of a very detailed and extensive recipe for building a relatively modest *reliable* rotary turbo (~350 whp or so) at an event, and his had low compression on one rotor and was down ~50 or so whp. And he wasn't surprised at all. If you're running a rotary hard with any frequency, you're pulling it out and rebuilding regularly.
So, yeah, I guess I am "cheap" and "lazy" after all...
