12a, 13b, 13bt, 20bt, etc...
components to fail... on a boosted rotary, apex seals cracked, low compression
non-boosted rotary, oil/coolant seals
tranny prob's with fb's, hmmm... got me there... i know fc's have a bad 2nd gear synchro, fd's have a bad 5th...
oh, and batmannate... my n/a rx7 does not have too much torque down low (has less than stock n/a) but it's ported, so i make a lot more on the upper end... i will keep up or take n/a supras all day.... that is, unless you're comparing apples and oranges (boosted to no boost)

come on now, i'm not hatin' on the supra! it's an awesome piece of machinery... i'd just take mine over it any day

Oh, and BTW, you SURE they dont belong there?
Check into a Banzai Edition RX-7. 550 HP. Yes, out of the rotary. Zoom zoom

banzai...
it's a great place to start from tho, and i'd die to have one... but... i expect more from a 3 rotor in an fd... heck, i've seen 470rwhp in a 2 rotor! slikmunks,
I'm impressed!! VERY good. 12's, 13',s 20 and 26 model engines. I think they had a 10 series, but dont believe it was ever used in RX-7's.
yeah, the 2mm seals suck. 3mm is the way to go, but does add to the wear on the walls. What can ya do?
I ask the question, and cant remember the asnwer. It was a bypass valve though, cant remember the name of it (Catalog name so to speak) Damned thing would stick and suck tranny fluid into the engine, burn it and cause the car to smoke like CRAZY. I mean BAD. Seen it happen pretty often in the Gen I's, had it happen to myself in fact. Was funny, I called it my smoke screen (It was, blueish smoke POURED out)

banzai...they can do so much more than that with the 20b
Oh, as with anything, you can always do more. Still, not a bad performer. And yeah, I would die to have one too..... I was actually a few days off of owning "one". Missed getting the RX-7 i needed by like 3 days. Someone found it before me. Had I got it.......That link you go to MY Banzai instead of the article..... But alas....
HEY! I just saw your sig!! Your now exempt from answering any RX-7 questions I ask!!

Eh, to an extent. The Banzai isnt just a direct 20b drop in though, they actually end up with a heavier engine (20B) and a car that weights less then a stock car! So, theres alot more then just an engine on that price tag, alot of tuning and other upgrades.
Still though, one way or the other it would make a damned fun drive to have that 20B in something as light as a RX-7. 500 HP outta an engine the size of a beer keg. Gotta love that!

i know all about the banzai... i used to, before i started really looking into them... basically... any 3 rotor in good running condition kicks a$s... simple as that...
although tuned, ported, tricked out would work too.... what i still don't get is why a 20b fd costs more than a 20b fc (talking about engine swaps) cuz i know for about 12-14 grand, i could have a running tuned, ported 20b running on stock twins kicking butt in my fc... and that includes a t2 tranny and rear endTRENDING THREADS
