So why did you do it?






Because I got tired of playing, what wrong with my rotary today.



So I decided to get an engine that will run for 250,000 miles with no problems. And an engine that has more power, and torque.





Yes, it's treason I know, but hey I like reliability, and potential for 750 HP.

Since you asked for my opinion I'm going to give it to you



Sounds like you didn't and still don't know what the hell you are doing when it comes to rotaries, you just pussed out..



I can understand the reliable 750hp, but that "tired of playing, what wrong with my rotary today. " comment, sounds like most v8 swapped rx7s guys response....



Sorry if that comes off as harsh, but thats just my opinion nothing more...

I can understand where he's coming from, I've played the "whats wrong with my rx-7 today" game, but it had nothing to do with the engine. It usually had to do with the widespread drug use in the 60's-70's resulting in the 80's engine management systems like the one on the FC. It's easier to put a haltech on a 13B than swap in a different motor, and you stop playing the guessing game afterwards. But engine swaps are fun, I hope the reasons he stated are not the only ones for this swap. Either way, it's cool to do stuff that involves fabrication and hasnt been done by every other person with a FC. I give him props regardless, it'll probably be less problematic than a *stock* FC. Though I don't know **** about the engine management of the supra motor, if it too is from the 80's w/AFM then it's just replacing one headache with another.

No that is not the only reason I wanted to do this swap, I also wanted to do it because I love the supra but hate the weight. And the potential for 750 HP is a huge perk.







btw - its heavier, and while it has more power and torque than ur S4 engine, its got less power and more torque than the S5 engine




No not quit, the supra turbo STOCK has 230 HP, and 250 torque, so it's a gain over S4's/S5's.
