My day kicked ass, S2000's kick ass, and so do twin turbo RX7's

Got to ride in an S2000 with someone who hammered on it, 9000RPMs sounds pretty nice 😎 The RX7 TT was VERY fun to ride in as well, and got to see some other very nice cars up close - fun day 😀
 
i have a RX-7.
im hoping to put a chevy 350 in it, when i have enough cash to buy it gas. saw onelike that before.vooosh!!!

What a waste of a great car.

I think i'd much rather have the Rotary engine than the Chevy GOD Knows what Engine.

instead of spending the loot to get the Chevy engine and popping it in the RX-7..

just add another rotar to the RX-7.. and i'm sure you'll be better off than the Chevy God Knows What Engine 😉

you cant just add another rotor. you would have to change to a different rotor engine ($$$$) i can get 350's cheap from my uncles wrecking yard.
 
i was also thinking about an Audi 5 cylinder turbo engine, i could fetch something like that rather cheap as well.
it might be difficult to mount though.

Ugh, why? The Wankel is the heart of the RX7 - it's what makes the car what it is....why would you wanna gut an engine and swap it with a weaker 5 cyl engine???
 
the engine i have now is near dead. havent got to drive it yet due to this. cant really afford a new rotor engine.
 
Just rebuild it. Those motors need it about every 75k miles anyway. The amount you would spend converting to any other motor would be more than a rebuild.

EDIT - What year is it?
 
Turbo or non? With the non turbo a port job with the rebuild could get you around 250-300 hp depending on the type of porting.
 
Check out www.car-part.com. They don't list your province on there, and I don't know enough about RX-7's to decide if you have a 12A or 13B engine, but just about any part you could need is listed on there.

I saw a RX-7 w/ a SBC in it at the drag strip a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the guy seemed to be having troubles or he was packing up and I didn't get to see him run. He fired it up as we were walking up and I just said to the guy, &quot;That's not a stock motor is it?&quot; He just grinned and said &quot;Nope.&quot; Wicked looking &amp; sounding car.
 


<< um... I am sure a C5 will be better than a 59 Vette 😛 >>


Have you guys seen the new Z06 2002? Mmmmmmmm 0-60 3.9s. Gotta love that!
