657 cubic centimeters, twelve valves, three cylinders. That’s what this Suzuki Carry has been powered by ever since it was put together at the factory. It’ll get the job done for a kei truck…it’s under 660 cubic centimeters, so it’s legal and that’s all that matters in Japan. And it’s durable enough to be used as a truck engine. But this particular Carry is parked inside the Hoonigan shop. That 657cc mill isn’t going to get the job done in their eyes, and since they’re building the truck to be a pit vehicle for a drift team, the only appropriate answer was a rotary. Compact in size and quite potent, a rotary in a Carry is like a big-block in a Vega: barely fits but won’t be working hard once it’s up and running. But before you can run, you have to crawl and walk. Crawling requires everything out of the way of an engine mockup to make sure that there is room for proper test-fitting. Walking is actually fitting the engine into the bay and seeing what all is needed in order to properly mount the block up, fit a transmission, and what has to be modified in order to turn this little utility go-kart into a mental patient.
